The showroom was a study in sterile luxury: Seamless matte-white walls that absorbed every shadow and a floor of single-slab grey slate that felt as solid as a mountain. There were no racks of gear or cluttered store shelves. Instead, islands of white oak that held single, velvet-lined trays, like that store where Grant bought his wife’s engagement ring.
