River Oaks District

River Oaks is a premier luxury shopping district boasting high end international brands including Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, Canali, Cartier, Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels and many more. Our Tactile Public Furnishings double as 20 large 4000 mm (12’0”) sculptural art pieces as well as benches for customers to take in the beautifully landscaped retail environment. Given the high temperatures in Houston the seating contact surfaces of the benches are coated with our Tactile Sensory Coating which mitigates the hot surface transfer to the touch. The design of the benches and the bright red gloss color complement the soft landscaping and hard surfaces. Our meticulous engineering, precision fabrication, coating system and assembly ensure long term performance and durability.
