Yes, we strive to be original in all of our designs … and … sometimes there are some killer tried-and-true products that just deserve to be on rotation. Hitting a sweet spot of retail pricing and availability and the chops to span stylistic genres makes for a go-to product every time.
1. CB2 "Henry Handloomed Wool Area Rug" - This rug is soft, modern, a good price point for family use and on trend with colors (and it comes in a variety of them). And Heather just ordered it for her house in teal!

3. Crate and Barrel “Drew Small Swivel Accent Chair” - this one has been a workhorse for us – comfortable for folks of all different sizes, smaller scale but also comfy, and it’s at a good price point. Heather has these in her home, and so do I.

These garments – from indigenous artisans of early America and also more recent immigrants – are for me emblematic of what we mean when we say "melting pot." We celebrate the beauty of all these creations and will continue to look for ways to support and champion the work of all our country's cultural jewels.
