From Mark's Desk
When summer arrives, my mind drifts to the enchanting shores of the Italian Riviera - a place of sunshine, sangria, invigorating scents of citrus, and vibrant bougainvillea cascading over terracotta pots. Hotel Il Pellicano remains an enduring source of inspiration for me, a serene Mediterranean retreat nestled in Monte Argentario's secluded cove.
Echoing this Mediterranean allure, our Falcon Lodge project in Bel Air evokes a similar ambiance. Our color palette this month - inspired by the project's vibrant reds and whites - has debuted in the latest issue of Frederic. This project represents a collaborative effort with some exceptional vendors, spotlighted in our 'Celebrate' section in this month's newsletter.

Make it Beautiful,
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
MDS RATTAN
In collaboration with Soane Britain, our Lily Collection was created to bring rattan back indoors! The pieces include an armchair whose eye-catching base brings to mind a rippled fabric, a drum table, and a slipper chair in the manner of American style icon Billy Baldwin. Plus, the floral fabrics are blooming with beauty.
MDS FOR TROY LIGHTING
In our debut collection for Troy Lighting, we distill 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
Departing from convention, we set out to design fabrics that defy stereotypes, focusing on grounding solids, rich textures, small scale prints, and a timeless color palette that forms the cornerstone of every project. Additionally, we wanted to create wallpaper panels that effortlessly work back to our existing fabrics with Schumacher.
