How many stores send a personal chef to your home to demonstrate how to use that new appliance? At Fixtures, it’s just part of doing business. “We’re trying to promote the lifestyle side of the business, the fun side, and just create a very unique environment that is relationship driven,” says founder Phil Roxworthy. A six-foot-long grill will sear, roast, smoke, steam, bake, boil, and fry. And don’t miss the $100,000 Molteni entertainment range, in racy red and as sleek as a spaceship. Local designers offer vignettes, what Roxworthy calls the “wow” factor to “stimulate the imagination and create what’s possible.” At Fixtures, you get the sizzle and the steak.
