JUST DROPPED
New introductions to the popular Marie Flanigan for Annie Selke collection were recently released. Flanigan added textural wallpapers, cozy rugs, refined bedding and chic accessories to the mix in a rich organic palette. “My second collection with Annie Selke is a natural continuation of the first—thoughtfully expanding on the pieces I love and use in my own designs,” says Flanigan. This is the Houston-based interior designer’s first dive into wallcovering with the home and lifestyle brand, “bringing another dimension of warmth and depth.” Expanded colorways in some of the favorite pieces add “more ways to layer beauty and comfort into a home,” explains Flanigan. “Every piece reflects the layered, livable elegance that defines my aesthetic.”
MODERN SPIN
Schumacher opened a second New York City showroom in the New York Design Center, offering a curated and contemporary selection of the brand’s portfolio with a focus on textured and solid fabrics, wallpapers and trims in a mostly neutral palette. Designer David Frazier created the interiors and notes, “Our goal was to create a space that evokes the warmth and sophistication of a residential downtown setting. We sought to highlight a lesser-known side of Schumacher—wonderful linens, mohairs and neutral, warm colors.” Complementary brands—from Cappellini to Cassina to Molteni and De Padova, along with Brooklyn-based Workstead lighting, curated artwork and rugs from sister brand Patterson Flynn round out the offerings. Schumacher’s Creative Director, Dara Caponigro says, “Editing our portfolio for the space has put a new spin on our brand. I have a feeling the modernists out there will be quite surprised by our latest look.”
CALI COOL IN NYC
Expanding to New York City with its first ever showroom on the East Coast, Lawson-Fenning has opened a 4,500-square-foot space on Lafayette Street. The showroom, designed by interior designer Josh Greene, resembles a residential loft space with a distinct blend of handcrafted furniture, ceramics and vintage curations. Makers from both California and New York are represented with exclusive pieces from artists and designers such as Devin Wilde, Canoa, O&G and James Cherry. Finding the NoHo location has been a dream for the company. “We’ve been wanting to open a showroom here for many years,” says Grant Fenning. “We came very close in 2019, but the planet had other plans. This year, we found the perfect space and knew it was time.” Glenn Lawson adds, “Opening in New York is a bit of a homecoming for me. I spent my formative years in the city. New York shaped me aesthetically, and it feels great to come full circle.”
OUTDOOR OASIS
In March, RH opened its first ever stand-alone gallery dedicated to outdoor living. Located on Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich’s historic district, the space showcases exclusive furniture collections by renowned designers in teak, all-weather aluminum and wovens. In addition, outdoor fire tables, umbrellas, lighting, rugs and décor pieces are offered to outfit the deck or patio for summer.
