NY NOW® Announces Official Winter 2020 Renaissance Retailer Award Recipient

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (January 28, 2020) – Today
NY NOW^®, announced Chad Anglin and Amy Paul, owners of San Diego based Pigment, as the winner of its Renaissance Retailer Award for the Winter 2020 market. The award celebrates excellence in inspirational retail experiences at the
independent store level and recipient’s are selected by top industry retailers and designers.

Pigment is owned by husband-and-wife duo Chad Anglin and Amy Paul. The shop opened in 2007 as an art gallery to showcase local artists – Amy had her painting studio in back and customers could peer in from a loft space. Today Pigment’s three shops are recognized
for design-savvy gifts, plants, and furniture that represent the best locally and internationally made products, curated in a way that tells a story.

“We’re honored to receive the Renaissance Retailer award – thank you so much! In truth, every year feels like our first, and with this past year in particular being filled with challenges like no other, the recognition is validation that we’re doing something
right. We’re artists that stumbled into retail, and it’s our great privilege to come to work each day and have the opportunity to serve our Pigment community,” says Amy Paul, owner of Pigment.

“What we were drawn to about Chad and Amy’s Pigment shops is their story of evolution. Starting as a gallery to showcase their local artists as well as opening up Amy’s own studio to the public, Pigment embraced the changing retail tides they encountered and
matured into now what is a multiple location oasis,” says Amy Loewenberg, Buyer Relations Manager, NY NOW. “Spanning a vast range of categories, they have a total lifestyle experience through their design savvy gifts, wellness offerings, flora and furniture.
What I personally love about Chad and Amy’s story, is that they were doing the “experiential” thing back in 2007 with sharing Amy’s studio. These two, in my mind are trend setters. I can’t wait to go see their stores in person!” added Loewenberg

Pigment will be honored and officially presented their award at the NY NOW^® Awards Night Party on February 3rd, 2020, at 6 pm at the Javits Center, NYC.
