Our design team perused the aisles in search of their favorite new products. See our top picks in furniture, lighting, and hardware below!
This Brooklyn based studio is dedicated to the design and fabrication of handcrafted, traditionally joined and finished wood furniture. Each VOLK design is unique and carefully considered to showcase the quality of hand-selected materials. We love their unexpected and playful combinations — mixing leather, marble, and powder coated steel juxtaposed with cerused oak and brass, whitewashed ash and copper accents. Their collection is completely customizable — giving designers a chance to participate in selecting a perfect medley of materials and finishes to complement their space.

Audrée L. Larose and Félix Guyon, the two designers behind the brand, have created their own world haloed in poetry, romance, elegance, and beauty. For Larose Guyon, to create a luminaire is not just about style but about the light itself. The magic and warmth that creates the light and the shadows are, for them, as important as the object itself during the creative process. Larose Guyon’s lighting fixtures are as attractive as the atmosphere that they create. The dynamic duo showcased their Otero and Perle collection’s which were definite show stoppers! Our team was infatuated with their distinctive use of exaggerated shapes with subtle hints to over-scaled jewelry.
