West's Furniture Showroom, Heritage furniture showroom in Fortitude Valley, Australia
The building at 620 Wickham Street features large display windows, a cantilevered awning, and an open interior layout designed for furniture exhibitions and natural lighting.
Architect Karl Langer designed this retail space in 1952, creating a modernist structure that served as Queensland's primary location for Knoll furniture between 1956 and 1962.
The showroom represented a significant shift in Australian retail architecture, introducing modern design principles and new approaches to commercial space organization in Brisbane.
The structure maintains its original features through careful restoration work completed in 2009, including the preservation of display areas and workshop facilities.
During the 1954 Royal Tour, the Duke of Edinburgh visited this showroom, marking its status as a premier furniture retail establishment in post-war Australia.
