Sundays have become a bit of a decor & furniture hunting day since moving into our new home… The flat is far from done but we’ve met some incredible ~ curateurs ~ and seen admirable collections of homeware and furniture, henceforth…
Presenting a sweet but not at all exhaustive list of places:
FOR ART…
@spazioleone
… this isn’t your average scrappy vintage furniture store (though we have a good selection of those too) - this is art. Curated by a certain Gennaro Leone. I do not know him, only done enough online stalking to know that this man is incredibly chic and has an intense eye
He also owns, it seems, the delightfully pared back @dalla.restaurant
@mod_ants
… old french tables and chairs, the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful old tables and chairs you will see in your life
@rialto_shop
… presents ceramic and other art works from a rotating collection of modern artists
FOR ELEVATED ANTIQUE & VINTAGE…
@vantage.living
… Katie has a collection of beautifully carved travertine tables that I’ve not seen anywhere else. She presented one of these at her booth at the @the_spotlight_market ; it immediately caught my attention because it so resembled a Ligne Rosset piece I had been thinking about
@committee_of_taste
… presents a tight curation of classic British and European midcentury pieces, taking care to filter for items made with a touch of whimsy and art
FOR MIDCENTURY CLASSICS…
@sweetinteriors
… Tim collects and restores cabinetry, tables, chairs, sofas from all over the UK. We wandered into his shop one afternoon and fell at first sight for this magnificent little rosewood dining table…
I think rosewood is now protected as an endangered species and banned for use in furniture thanks to overexploitation; so this find felt very much like on of those aha moments.
@proper_old_hackney
… a healthy collection of midcentury furniture and cabinetry, ‘with proper prices’ from Nick. He has some good magazine / book holders which I’ve noticed were missing from other stores. For example:
Sharing some snippets of yesterday , picking out paint and fabric swatches - so excited to complete the place - off to clean out my closet, tell you about it after, hope your week ahead will be yummy
