The Shop at Old Austerlitz

on
It has been a while since I've posted, and it has been a very busy summer so far. One of the projects I have been working on is The Shop at Old Austerlitz for the Austerlitz Historical Society . The Society operates a beautiful property in Columbia County, New York and this is the first actual shop they have opened on the property. So I thought I'd give you a tour, and an example of what can be done with very little money, some good volunteers, and a bit of creativity.

Design Resource: The Future Perfect

on

For the best in contemporary design, it's hard to beat The Future Perfect. I never know whether to call it a shop or gallery, oh, let's call it a shop--less intimidating. Founded by David Alhadeff in 2003, the original Brooklyn shop was relocated to 55 Great Jones Street in lower Manhattan a few years later. In 2013 a second shop was opened at 3085 Sacramento Street in the beautiful Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. For those living in Los Angeles, a third location was recently opened in a Beverly Hills home (The Trousdale Estates)--this location requires an appointment.

 David Alhadeff shows the work of a large number of American and international designers and companies; it's like walking into a mini-design museum. There are some well-known names here, and some emerging talent. The welcomed trend of high-end design meets hands-on craft is well represented. It isn't inexpensive, but then again, each piece is a work of art.
