Introducing The Shag Rugs

Our Shag Rugs are handwoven in Turkey by traditional weavers in silky mohair and beautiful sheep’s wool. The natural fibers are spun using a special weave technique that results in a long, soft, plush pile. The Forsyth Shag Rugs are designed in natural, neutral colors with an emphasis on craftsmanship.

The design inspiration | Anne and Maggie grew up with a 1970s Flokati rug their Mom shlepped home from Greece during her world travels. They've been wanting to recreate that style since day one - a thick, high pile, run your fingers through, shaggy, chic rug in a most luxurious manner.

John O'Hara Art

We are proud to be the exclusive gallery of John O’Hara (American, b. 1963). O'Hara is a self-taught artist from Saint Louis and is known for his large-scale decorative pieces. His medium of choice is encaustic—a mixture of pigments and beeswax and he allows the material to dictate color, line and texture. His work is included in both public and private collections around the world. Michael Kors selected O’Hara’s Tar series for his Milan, Paris, and New York showrooms and London flagship store designed by Pamela Meech. O’Hara’s Brands on Yellow is hanging in the lounge of Maison de Luz, the new luxury hotel by Atelier Ace and designed by AD 100 design firm Studio Shamshiri.

Upcycled Womb Chairs

We like to consider what we do a form of recycling, but of course, in a most luxurious manner. Our upcycled Womb Chairs are some of our most popular designs. Eero Saarinen designed the groundbreaking Womb Chair at Florence Knoll's request for "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows - something she could really curl up in." The Womb Chair is a design icon with comfort at its core. We take that to the next level. After undergoing a complete restoration from the frame out, each seat and back cushion gets 100% feather fill for an incredible sink-into, enveloping feeling. With beautiful finishes like sheepskin, boucle, cowhide, and luxury fabrics from Loro Piana and Pierre Frey, our bespoke Womb Chairs are worth designing a room around.

Introducing David William Baum

David William Baum is a fashion, still life, and fine art photographer that focuses on the intimate, natural moments between frames. For David, his work is a meditation practice of letting go while using the technical aspects of photography to allow those moments to be seen at their best representation.

David is sought after by fashion labels and chic brands for his expert eye. His product photography portrays each item in a new light. It was a shot for an LA based jewelry designer that drew us to David's art. A delicate hoop earring affixed to an ear surrounded by hair. The composition, the image, the style. Brilliant. We also love his horse series and his out of focus Chanel perfume bottle. The best. This is the kind of fine art photography we love hanging in our homes. It looks chic and cool in any interior style.

Beautiful Palm Sculptures from Oaxaca

Rrres Studio is a collective of artisans and makers using traditional crafting techniques based in Oaxaca, Mexico. We fell in love with their beautiful palm sculptures crafted by a family from Tlamacazapa.

We love the curvaceous shapes of the palm sculptures but their size truly makes each a statement piece. From a design perspective, we love them displayed in groups. It adds height, visual intrigue, and a beautiful story. We also love bringing natural elements indoors - think marble, stone, beautiful woods. The lightness, warmth, and touchable texture of palm is a favorite.

Art by Marine Edith Crosta

We are thrilled to be the exclusive gallery of London based artist Marine Edith Crosta. Crosta (B. 1985) studied Fine Arts in Bordeaux, France, and exhibited her work internationally. Mostly known for her miniature paintings, she is now going back to exploring portraiture, in oil paint, focusing on skin tones, garment renderings, and expressive brushstrokes.

We adore her Lost at Sea miniature tondi paintings. The small scale exhibits an intimacy in the images. And even though the subjects are scenes of stormy seascapes with waves crashing and cloudy skies, there is a calmness and peacefulness to each. We love them hung in groups.

New Work by Maggie Robertson

We fell in love with Maggie Robertson’s ceramics when we first saw them at a local art show. Each of her pieces is hand-built and hand-painted in classic blue and white, and each is one of a kind. The Country Gentleman collection, inspired by British linen tea towels and old English ceramic mugs, depict a picturesque pastoral world of English hunt scenes and countryside living. Cool, one-of-a-kind pieces that feel like beautiful heirlooms.
