Mike Perry

Mike Perry "is a very good drawrah" as my daughter would say and I would add "yip, he's kind of awesome!"
Vané, who works for me, showed this chair to me a while ago and I filled it away in a file labeled "super cool."
Mike Perry lives in Brooklyn and when I asked him how he came about embellishing this eames rocker he explained "Well, I was working on an exhibition that I had at Giant Robot NY and I made a bunch of zines. I wanted people to be able to sit and look at them in the space, so I thought why not provide chairs? I had already been an admirer and collector of the bucket chairs and there is a tradition of art being applied to them."

Exciting Progress
February 6, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)
Last week was a good week. Our Tribeca townhouse project is really starting to take shape and we are beginning to see the interiors come together. Here is an image of one of the powder rooms with a Jaime Hayon sink and Alpha Workshops custom wallpaper. We have been working on this townhouse for a couple of years, so it's super exciting to get to this point and watch a home come together, especially when it includes sulphur yellow faux bois wallpaper and anything Jaime Hayon. This is just the tip of the iceberg; this house is going to be killer! Thank you to my fabulous clients Paige and JC.

I am always on the lookout for a good solid sofa that will lend a strong architectural element so that when I pick out accompanying chairs I can have some fun. Here's one that would work for me:

Clients...Hold Onto the Good Ones

So my senior designer Vané and I spent the day shopping. Yes, I have the best job in the world. Shopping with someone else's credit card is kinda great. Granted, I don't get to keep it for myself, and yes, there is always the chance that my clients won't love it, but when you see eye to eye with a client like I do with these lovely people, it makes for a fun day in New York.

African Inspiration: Le Sapeurs
January 31, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (0)

This week I am being interviewed on my use of color in interior design. So I'm trying to figure out why I use color and my conclusion is that its just natural. I am just simply drawn to a certain range of colors. While doing some research recently I came across a book called "The Gentlemen of Bacongo" by Daniele Tamagni. Immediately, I was drawn to simply everything about the images but mostly the vibrant colors. I started reading about the men featured in this book and about their fashions.

With the arrival of the French and Belgians to the Congo at the beginning of th...Read More
