A Visit with The New Traditionalists

Last week, we were treated to a tour of the handsome New Traditionalists’ showroom. From the weathered hand-rubbed finishes to the textured leather upholstery and the burnished metal hardware, we couldn’t help falling in love with their customizable handmade furniture made right here on the east coast. We can’t thank the ladies enough for their hospitality and look forward to using their pieces in our upcoming projects!

Apparatus Lighting

We stumbled upon Apparatus Lighting via one of our favorite blogs, Remodelista, and just about died. Collaborators Gabriel Hendifar (a former fashion designer) and Jeremy Anderson create handmade, utilitarian fixtures made from a combination of salvaged and new components in their Brooklyn-based studio. We especially love their use of aged brass and natural elements to create masculine yet refined lighting. We can’t wait to work with them!

Inside Out

The warm NYC afternoon has us wishing for a patio or a little spot of green grass to enjoy the weather outside. We’re thinking any one of these places would definitely fit the bill!

A few good leather chairs (plus one amazing day bed)…

We’ve been on the hunt for some leather side chairs for a client recently on one of our favorite websites to source pieces from, 1st Dibs, and there are so many great ones we had to share. We never cease to be amazed at the wonderful range of shapes and styles there are out there to chose from–there truly is something perfect for any aesthetic or direction you’d want to go. Here are some of our favorites.
