A New Year!

Monday, January 24th, 2011

This year has started with a bang and an exciting cover on German Architectural Digest magazine!

Due to the success of our Interior Design firm we have moved into a bigger work space, installed a fancy new project management software, and expanded our team. We are so excited about this growth and all the amazing new projects that we have scheduled for the year.

With so much work for clients in the city and beyond, we’ve decided that it’s no longer possible to continue selling fabrics, wallpaper, and rugs to the trade. Diane will still continue to advocate and use fine American products for her own Interior Design clients.

So role on 2011, it is going to be a great one!

…We love to hear your feedback and see the comments posted by our followers, so please feel free to leave us a comment on our blog or facebook page. For design services, however big or small please contact us via our interior design inquiry page.

Mood Indigo

Friday, January 21st, 2011

When it comes to interior décor, blue can be a colour that many people shy away from. It has a bit of a bad rep for being cold and uninviting, but when it’s used in the right shades, in the right light, AND in the right proportions (relative to other elements in the room), it can look exceptionally chic.

We love the look of these blue interiors… what do you think?

Melanie & Elizabeth

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

The lovely Melanie & Elizabeth from Ivy & Piper popped into our offices this week to interview us and take a look at some of the exciting projects we’re working on – we’re thrilled to be featured in the 2nd edition which will be out in the New Year.

It was super to meet the Ivy & Piper team and we’re so pleased they had chance to come visit us even at such a hectic time of year when their diaries must be bursting!

For those, like me, who find it hard to wait 2 months for the next issue of their favourite magazines to be published, Ivy & Piper’s Holiday Issue is the perfect thing to tide you over.

Madeline Weinrib does fashion!

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Our very own Madeline Weinrib has paired up with Argentinean designer Soledad Twombly, designer of the label SOLE by Soledad Twombly. Soledad just launched a new collection in New York that incorporates the fabrics from our ikat queen.

The collection’s fifteen pieces celebrate Twombly’s love for exotic Central Asian textiles, mixing Weinrib’s signature handmade ikats with Twombly’s signature rich Italian fabrics like velvets.

Congratulations to both Madeline and Soledad, the pieces are to die for.

Yves Saint Laurent

Monday, September 6th, 2010

The fabulous man that once said, “Fashion fades. Style is eternal” is of course Yves Saint Laurent. I am sure you will agree the late Yves Saint Laurent was a brilliant, talented and extremely influential designer.

Friday just gone my husband and I went to see ‘Celebration’ to learn more about Saint Laurent. We knew he had sadly suffered from addictions and depression but we did not know of the extent the film reveals. Banned in France, director Olivier Meyrou goes behind the glamorous scenes of Saint Laurent’s world, to reveal a fragile, mysterious and tortured artist.

Despite the sadness in his life, Saint Laurent still managed to create some of the most iconic clothing of all times. We have him to thank for the safari look, the tuxedo for women, and some of the most beautiful dresses ever created.

He was the king of cutting-edge couture who, by rewriting the rules of fashion, changed forever the way women dress.
