Not going for the bling bling Valentine gift this year? We’ve got you covered! Come by our store on Friday, February 14th between 11-7pm to pick up a lovely bouquet assembled by local florist Foxglove Studio. Bouquets come in our coveted Falcon Enamel tumblers with Wild Ophelia chocolates from the makers of Vosges Haut-Chocolat. This thoughtful combo sells for $40, but you can also purchase the chocolates and tumblers separately if you prefer. We’ll be sampling the chocolate and hanging out with cool girl, Caitlin, of Foxglove. Plus you can enjoy an additional 14% off all red items in honor of the holiday. Do not go home empty handed!

The Power of Studio Powers

January 28, 2014April 17, 2017Alicia RosauerDesigner's Eye, People

We love seeing what creatives do with our bedding and pillows. Studio Powers is a perfect example. Just before the holidays, Interior Designer, Michael Powers, ordered this excellent combination of Sailor + Regatta Grey bedding with pops of red and yellow for a residential project. What a success! His background is in architectural interior design. For seven years he served as Director of Architecture and Design at Polo Ralph Lauren. He also oversaw large projects with Bloomingdales, Izod, Mikasa and Starbucks. Since receiving his NCIDQ certification and becoming a licensed Interior Designer in the State of Florida, Michael now works closely with clients through his own company, Studio Powers, to provide extensive resources for interior and architectural design. We are happy to work with him. Check out his portfolio here!

Unison Pillows at Instagram Offices via Geremia Design

January 14, 2014April 17, 2017Alicia RosauerGet Inspired

Geremia Design is an exciting, young, and innovative interior design firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lauren Geremia graduated from RISD and began her own company, working closely with artists and designers to create art-centered interiors and custom furniture. Her projects, both residential and commercial, mix eclectic and modern materials to create a fun, sophisticated and layered space. The great part about being located in the Bay Area, is that it’s a fertile ground for all those start-up companies like Dropbox, Hightail, and Instagram, which Geremia Design has skillfully outfitted. We were excited when we spotted our Sailor Charcoal and Rope Charcoal pillows in the Instagram offices. Take a look!

Dad Model or Model Dad? Good question! Zach Buchner and Janel Allgeier are such fun people and amazing parents who let us shoot in their home for our Spring catalog. Zach is an artist and educator who creates colorful, textured paintings that are sculptural with plaster and paint layers. He shows with Andrew Rafacz Gallery in Chicago and teaches at Northwestern University. Janel is a Project Development Manager at Grohe America who works closely with architects and interior designers. Together they make a fantastic team with a beautiful home that mixes fun color with sophisticated textures and great modern pieces. We were able to capture some of our favorite images in the context of their home and they were willing to jump right in!
