First Look: Warby Parker, Nashville

Hip eyewear retailer Warby Parker continues to put down roots in Nashville.



Last year, the company opened a local corporate office in the city (its first outside of its New York City home base) and, more recently, opened a store at Nashville’s Edgehille Village. The storefront is open and provides full visibility into the interior. It is designed as an inviting outdoor space with native plants and landscaping.



The interior includes a stained glass piece in different shades of blue (from Nashville’s Hendricks Stained Glass), and a walnut stairway to a mezzanine level that doubles as stadium seating. An archive wall along the stairway chronicles Warby Parker’s first five years



In keeping with the retailer’s signature classic university theme, there are lots of books located throughout the space, along with brass library lamps, walnut shelling and custom leather banquette seating.
