My mother, Susan, and I travel to Europe several times a year, hand selecting one-of-a-kind, quality 18th, 19th, and 20th century antiques, reproductions and accessories. We always keep a large variety of all these items, with multiple sizes, so we have something to fit any space.ĭo you see any upcoming trends in terms of what’s next for the design world?

Yes, online sales have definitely increased, and using market platforms is a must going forward. Have you seen more customers coming through digital methods like Chairish?

While it had its challenges, our relationships in Europe and regional warehouses made it possible to maintain our inventory. We had to pivot to virtual means of purchasing through photos and videos.
