Gallery Expands Roots from North Naples to West Palm

After 13 years in the City of Naples and helping to found the Naples Design District, Method & Concept is returning to where it all began — as makers—and with a return to the North Naples campus.

Beginning in late 2025, and on the eve of the Thomas Riley Companies’ 35th anniversary, Method & Concept will establish its home on the Thomas Riley North Naples campus once again. This North Naples campus is a hub of four interconnected buildings totaling more than 50,000 square feet of state-of-the-art manufacturing and finishing in architectural woodwork, furniture, and fine finishes.

“This is where our story started, and where the magic continues,” said Chad Jensen, managing partner at Method & Concept. “We are excited to return to the roots of our practice while continuing to evolve in response to the changing contemporary art and design landscape.”

Thomas Riley founded the North Naples-based Thomas Riley Artisans’ Guild in 1991, a company specializing in fine interior woodwork and finishes for high-end homes and businesses nationwide.

The company, now owned by Thomas’s sons Matt and Ben, operates from a large campus in North Naples that houses design, manufacturing, engineering, administrative offices, and showrooms.

The company’s next chapter, though no longer with the studio location on 10th Street South in Old Naples, will continue to offer bespoke interior design, custom furniture, collectible design, and a commitment to presenting exciting exhibitions and introducing new artists.

With a refined curatorial vision, Method & Concept will narrow its roster, provide more tactile and experiential opportunities for clients, and deliver personalized, concierge-level services. Clients will be able to experience the full life cycle of a project — from concept ideation and material exploration to veneer and finish selections, and the artistry of carving, gilding, and high polish.

In addition to its Naples headquarters, Method & Concept will also introduce a boutique pop-up gallery in West Palm Beach — a satellite space designed to expand the brand’s reach, connect with new audiences, and bring fresh perspectives to one of Florida’s most dynamic cultural communities. Programming and events will be announced soon, with gallery visits currently available by appointment only at 429 25th Street, West Palm Beach.

“As the contemporary art world evolves, so are we,” added Jensen. “By embracing a more fluid and mobile model, we are creating opportunities for bold collaborations, innovative partnerships, and art experiences that reach further and resonate deeper.”

This next chapter represents more than a studio; it’s a window into a storied American manufacturing family of companies and an open door to new art, ideas, and experiences.
