Welcome to Panageries

Panageries is the fusion of two words that capture the essence of our philosophy:

Panache (pa·nache) — Style, flair, verve
Menagerie (me·nag·er·ie) — A collection of exotic animals

By our definition, the word Panageries conveys an interior that is a distinctive curation of thoughtfully selected pieces, where elegance and individuality coexist effortlessly. It is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the art of storytelling woven into every selection we make.

Panageries is an experience—one that invites you to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where beauty, sophistication, and meaning intertwine.

Step through the gates to a reimagined world and embark on an extraordinary journey with Panageries.

Two is Better Than One

Much like the homes we design that reflect those who live there, our name is an intentional reflection of who we are and what we offer. We wanted something that didn’t just define our brand but evoked a feeling—one of wonder, enchantment, and transformation. As we searched for the perfect fit, we realized that what we were envisioning didn’t yet exist—so we created it.
