Since I'm moving into a new apartment this summer, I'm on high alert for gorgeous, unique, not-Ikea furniture. I love the idea of buying something from an artisan, but where to start? Google doesn't seem like an efficient route to finding just the thing. Enter WorkOf, a new website that aims to encourage conscious consumerism in the furniture field, by aggregating New York City makers and putting them all in an easy-to-browse format. I mean, you can still take the Ikea ferry, but this time it will be to visit the Red Hook studio where your coffee table is being made. To get a sense of the goodies on there, here are my favorite things (just a fraction of what you'll find on there):A stylish and luxurious home doesn’t only showcase status and good taste. It also allows its owner to live comfortably, to enjoy every moment he spends at home at its fullest and to make his guests feel more welcomed. So whether it’s a modern apartment or a traditional New York house that you would like to furnish, there is a store in New York City for you to check out.
Luxury, comfort and style are musts in your search, as the perfect home recognizes no boundaries and no compromises. Nothing says upscale New York City apartment better than Hellman-Chang. Here is a designer furniture store that was founded in 2006 by Daniel Hellman and Eric Chang and has since then redefined modern design to mean liveable luxury. Combining daring lines with sleek surfaces and innovative designs with comfort and style, the pieces you will find in their catalogue are truly impressive. The company’s goal is to push furniture trends to the limit, while leaving a mark in the industry through solid materials, attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship. Visit their store on 79th Street or browse their online catalogue for inspiration. Have a look at their cocktail table collection and pay attention to the Waverly Low Table which is bound to make a subtle statement in any surrounding you choose to include it in. Located on 31 Howard Street, JOHNHOUSHMAND has become famous for stylishly combining luxurious urban designs with environmental sensibility.
In other words, this is luxury that just feels right. Celebrating nature, this designer furniture store is not afraid to take risks but also knows how to stay minimalistic when the individual environment requires it. Their pieces are subtle but ground-breaking and are known for their focus on strong basic elements such as wood, glass and steel. Have a look at their selection if being bold while enjoying great quality materials matters to you. Striking but smooth, JOHNHOUSHMAND is a store to visit when looking to furnish your New York City home. Make sure you have a look at the Shazam Dining Table that is truly stunning and like nothing you have experienced before. If you’re in Greenwich Village, pay one of the two Ligne Roset stores a visit. Here you will find faultless designs that give classic 50s and 60s styles a modern and sleek twist, paying tribute to the past while adding something entirely new. Beautiful textiles and soft materials are the core of the store’s designer collaborations.
Their selection of products stands out thanks to its creativity and spotless craftsmanship. Take a look at the Harry sofa. This piece is at the same time modern and classic, luxurious and comfortable. Its bold color shade and stiletto legs make a stylish but daring statement that cannot go unnoticed. With two stores on Madison Avenue, ddc is another furniture designer collaboration to keep an eye out for when you’re furnishing your New York townhouse. Although very modern and smooth in its designs, ddc includes elegant and romantic furniture collections that truly feel like they have popped out of a movie. They offer the widest and most comprehensive selection of products which work together great as ensembles, but also stand beautifully on their own, promoting self expression and individuality. Check out their lighting collection and pay attention to the Etoile lamp –a striking item that would compliment any New York City townhouse. When it comes to impressively flawless bedrooms, nobody knows how to make waves better than Hudson Furniture.
This furniture designer remains loyal to nature and honors tradition in a most special way. Their woods are domestically sourced from salvaged trees and their designs follow traditional lines and established forms while managing to push boundaries and say something new in a way that no other designer in the industry has accomplished. Have a look at the Hudson Signature Bed — perhaps the most outstanding bedstead that you could ask for at the moment. > Office Furniture Liquidation Conklin Office Furniture purchases used office furniture that has served some of the top corporations and institutions in America.
