CORD

CORD: nine years of design objects in Portland

CORD was a store in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to selling design objects, both its own production and found pieces, from local and international sources. Its catalog was presented as a collection of pieces selected under the concept of "Ranked & Well Stowed" objects.

The shop operated for nine years in the Alberta neighborhood, on Northeast Alberta Street, and its activity combined the creation, sourcing, and selection of pieces for the home and everyday use.

The end of an era

In 2026 the company announced that it was leaving the retail project behind to devote itself to new creative projects. The farewell message thanked customers and friends for their support over the nine-year journey. The store indicated that the location would cease operations and that the team was taking time to develop other initiatives.

Own and found objects

CORD's offering was built around four pillars that the store itself summarized as "Made. Found. Designed. Local. International.": manufactured objects, found objects, design pieces, and a combination of local and international origins. That mix defined the store's assortment, aimed at an audience interested in design and everyday objects.

Location and customer service

The main location was on Northeast Alberta Street in Portland, and its opening hours were Tuesday through Saturday and Sundays, remaining closed on Mondays. The store handled inquiries by email and phone, and maintained a mailing list to share news.
