FOUND Arcadia

Opened in 2000 in historic downtown Mesa, Arizona, FOUND Arcadia is a one-stop shopping & design destination, carefully curated by the owners and design team to showcase their unique aesthetic. A member of the Rowe retail family for the past 2 years, the Rowe line has quickly become FOUND’s best-selling upholstery line.

“As a local, family-owned business, (with just one location), we are all a very tight knit group. We have five family members involved in the business and the rest of our team is very close — we call our group the “FOUND Fam”’! Everyone certainly has different strengths and provides their own value to our team, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

FOUND’s Top 3 Ways to Support Local Biz:

  • Send a message – Even a simple message checking in and saying you can’t wait to shop with them in person goes such a long way! It puts a smile on our faces when we open encouraging messages from followers and customers.
  • Use e-commerce options, if the shop offers them
  • Gift cards – Even the smallest purchase helps in the biggest way right now!

What makes your shop unique?

Our store definitely has a distinct style that can't easily be replicated. Because we source from hundreds of vendors and are always getting new merchandise in, we have curated a collection of products that you truly can't find anywhere else. Our hand selected inventory of furniture, lighting, home decor, and gifts is an eclectic mix, a “FOUND” aesthetic that is like no other.

How does your shop make customers feel?

I would say most people who visit our showroom feel a sense of serenity come over them, and probably some curiosity if they are new to us. Our clients come in for inspiration and spend quite a bit of time walking around and taking everything in. Many of our customers refer to FOUND as their “happy place” and a getaway for them to browse and soak up some inspiration, and we are honored to provide that to them!

What's on your store playlist?

Depending on the day and the overall vibe of the store, we like to switch it up! If it's a more quiet weekday, we will play some Bon Iver, The Civil Wars, Leon Bridges, or Glass Animals. On busier days or weekends, we like to amp it up and play more upbeat music from artists like Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The 1975, or Clairo. Fortunately we have some young creatives on our team who keep us up on the latest.

What are you looking forward to showcasing next season?

We are always looking forward to seeing what’s new at market -- right now we have been loving organic & natural elements mixed with bold colors!

Who’s your celebrity dream customer?

We have had the opportunity to work with some celebrities and athletes over the years and have had a lot of fun with them. We’ve even toyed with the idea of collaborating on some projects with them which could be challenging and exciting! The best part of working with any client is getting to know them on a different level.

If we pop into your store at any given moment…

Lots of laughing and probably a TON of action. Designers visiting us to pull some items for their upcoming installs, customers needing styling assistance, and everyone working as a team to get the job done. And of course, some killer music playing to help keep everyone motivated & moving!
