Funky Chairs

I stumbled on a literal treasure chest of reupholstered furniture in Williamsburg this afternoon. Funkiture by Caitlin Conlow has beautiful second hand and antique chairs covered in Congolese fabric, starting at around $100. Also on offer, an apple green Art Deco writing desk, peacock feathers for $2.95 each, and fabulous striped scatter cushions.

Wolf At The Door

I interviewed Vicente Wolf today, voted one of America's 10 most influential designers. He has been working as an interior designer in New York for the past 37 years. Unlike many Americans, Wolf travels constantly, the more remote the location the better. He says things like: "My friend told me he was off to Bhutan. I mean I went to Bhutan ten years ago." And he says: "Travel keep me young. It pushes me out of my comfort zone."
