Dynamic Duo of Design, Elegance & Prestige...

Design and style runs deep within this dynamic duo - it's in their genes!

For the chic and stylish pair, Charlotte Roper and EriCharn Hopper, design elegance is definitely more than the sum of their parts, living and working in design for more than 6 decades combined.

Charlotte, accomplished in both art and design pursued a successful career as a professional interior designer for many years. As a designer always seeking the perfect design outcome, Charlotte sourced product and design resolutions from a variety of sources across the globe. In her pursuit of solutions, her true entrepreneurial spirit surfaced and the seed of The MN Collection was planted.
 
Char
Quite naturally, the creative and practical traits of a true design professional where imparted to her daughter Erin.


Erin has an eye for design and perhaps is her birthright, growing up as a design center/showroom "D.I.T."!  Erin lived and breathed design projects; she trained in art, marketing and operations, leading to an exciting career in the fashion industry, retail marketing management and operations...not too far from her design and style roots.

The MN Collection evolved out of Charlotte and Erin's frequent requirement for products offering contemporary elegance and similar design solutions for interior design professionals in the Valley.

The MN Collection was created to satisfy the specific niche of elegance, a "softer" contemporary appeal (compared with the Scandinavian model) and sought vendors they trusted and those previously unrepresented here in A
rizona.  Something fresh and interesting and always changing.

CharSolution driven style mavens are at your service - the MN Collection is a part of your team.   Whether lighting, artwork or furnishings, the cache of manufacturers represented by The MN Collection specialize in taking your design from concept to reality.

The MN Collection is an ever evolving blend of European and domestic contemporary furniture, lighting, and accessories in tandem with original works of art.  Offering new resources that strike a balance between classic and innovative designs. Please visit us Monday - Friday 9-5 or by appointment.  

Located at Scottsdale Design District, 2724 North 68th St, Suite 2 Scottsdale, Arizona 85257.  Phone 480.946.2664.
