Arlen Fraser Showroom Tour


Arlen Fraser, a merger of Jon Arlen Group and Helen Fraser, is a locally-owned furniture showroom located in International Market Square in Minneapolis. IMS houses a multitude of showrooms and design studios. It is a local mecca for high-quality furnishings, textiles, home accessories, and finishes. Tammy and I spent an hour with Keith this morning as he walked us through Arlen Fraser’s 6,000-square-foot showroom. Keith was very helpful explaining Arlen Fraser’s offerings – which range from contemporary sofas and accessories to traditional bar stools and dining sets. Product lines such as Focus One and Della Robbia are more contemporary and minimal in style. WoodlandFurniture and Marge Carson fall under a more traditional heading. And lines like Henredon and Swaim can be specified to fit any home from transitional to contemporary. They have product lines to fit nearly any space and personal taste.


The showroom specifies and sells to trade partners only but everyone is welcome in their showroom. Floor samples are always available to purchase whether you’re a designer or a homeowner. The staff is all well-educated and prepared to answer any questions and help track down even the most unique piece for your home.  

“I recently had a client ask for a tray-table lamp with a built-in magazine rack.” Rothstein said. Yes, they get that specific. And the team at Arlen Fraser is willing to do the leg work to find what you’re looking for. “If you give us an idea, we’re happy to track down some options that will work for you.” Whether you’re shopping for items a la carte or need a one-stop shop for all your furnishings, Arlen Fraser offers a broad range of high-quality products for your home.
