From Mark's Desk
In the fashion industry, this time of year is known as “Pre-Fall” — when the seasons are transitioning from summer to fall. There’s a breeze in the air, the leaves are just beginning to change, and we are starting to think about layering up. This feeling affects our moods, our clothing and, of course, our homes.
For us, this time inspires us to get back to basics, often with classics and neutrals. In fashion, it’s all about classic items like white shirts, denim, trench coats, fine gauge cashmere sweaters, a great saddle brown leather bag, etc. And for interiors, it means a neutral palate and rooms layered with classic things we love — natural fiber rugs, batiks, baskets and Anglo-Indian furniture — always with a touch of blue and white. We embrace this transitional time by celebrating the beauty that is in going back to basics, necessities and classics. We hope to inspire you to do the same!
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
THE BEAUTIFUL OUTDOORS
Our debut collection for Troy Lighting distills the essence of California living into The Beautiful Outdoors. From the lush hills of Napa to the palm-lined streets of Santa Barbara, California perfectly illustrates the disparate terrain and identities within the American landscape.
MDS FOR SCHUMACHER
In our longtime collection with Schumacher, you will find luxurious fabrics with modern takes on my go-to favorites: a pretty chinoiserie floral, a smart ikat, a playful paisley medallion and, of course, stripes. Proving the power of pattern, each piece is designed to mix and match in fresh color groupings including blues and whites, neutrals and reds.
THE ORANGE HILL COLLECTION
We are thrilled to announce our new exclusive collection with Modern Matter Hardware! Timeless, classic, but also unique, this collection was designed and schemed with all spaces of a home in mind. From the dining room to the mudroom, the hardware has a place and function for every room in your house, whether it be a decorative, informal or formal space.
