INTRODUCING ALEXIS BITTAR

Native New Yorker Alexis Bittar has been on the fashion scene since the mid-1980's when he began selling his hand-sculpted jewelry on the streets of SOHO.  His designs now act as cult favorites of A-Listers including Madonna and Alicia Keyes, and even Karl Lagerfeld.

We are excited to introduce the elements collection.  inspired by Gustav Klimt, you will see the patterns reflected in the amazing metalwork.

The Perfect Pillow

Design Diva Kelly Wearstler hand picked the Antler Pillow from Archival Décor as one of her favorites on forbes.com’s holiday gift guide. We couldn’t agree more- when we found these pillows on a recent buying trip in NYC, we were impressed with how these high-quality pillows were meticulously made and just knew we had to get them for the store.  These down blend-filled pillows bear sepia-toned images that hail from  original Michelle Pattee photographs.

Additional details:  Hand silkscreened in water-based ink on cotton hemp with a cotton velvet backing. Knife-cut edge. Antiqued bronze zipper opening.

New Book: Ad Hoc at Home by Thomas Keller

You don't often see the name Thomas Keller mixed with words like "accessible" or "home cook," but with Ad Hoc at Home, the award-winning chef presents a collection of recipes destined for the center of the table at casual family gatherings. Don't throw away your whole notion of "quick and easy," though, as this is still a casual cookbook filtered through the genius mind of the man behind The French Laundry Cookbook, but the sense of whimsy and the pure joy of Keller doing his version of comfort food proves irresistible. The inspiration for his restaurant Ad Hoc was the simple family meals created and served by the staff at his restaurants. As he says in the introduction, "here is food meant to be served from big bowls and platters passed hand to hand at the table." And with dishes like Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, who's going to argue with that? --Brad Thomas Parsons (amazon.com review)

Just in: Wall Jewelry from Henderson Dry Goods!

We are excited to introduce Henderson Dry Goods Wall Art.

Made by local artist and industrial designer Alexandra Henderson, these pieces are inspired by the past, when objects in a home were built solidly and meant to last for generations.  Henderson Dry Goods pieces are truly future heirlooms.

These wall mirrors feature solid black walnut with natural oil finish.  They hang from a double loop of copper chain attached to the sides of the frame by copper nails.  Think of them as "jewelry for your walls".
