The Current

If our unique finishes are the mark of benchmade craftsmanship, then our offering of custom shades in the wallpaper or fabric selection of your choosing (or COM) is the ultimate expression of your originality. Allowing for any manufacturer’s materials from a Schumacher stripe to a Pierre Frey floral–or any other print or pattern in-between–the creative potential is as boundless as the combination possibilities. And whether the intention is to create a fixture that seamlessly blends in to an existing scheme or boldly stands out all on its own, the ability to take a fixture to the next level with this unique program, capping it off with an added layer of color and texture to create something one of a kind, couldn’t be stronger. 

Unabashedly bright, sunny and wanderlust-inducing from the boldest lemony citrons to more grounding golden-tinged hues, yellow has quickly become one of our favorite spring shades. Reflective of the balmier weather and feeling of optimism that’s afoot, we’re seeing no shortage of this color coming through the shop and splashed across some of the most inspiring installs. And we couldn’t be happier for it and the positive disposition it brings–it’s a shade that just makes you smile.   

An antidote to the omnipresent, white-on-white kitchens that have become commonplace the past few years, a colorful kitchen feels refreshingly appropriate for our times, enlivening what has become the heart of the home. Far from stark, some of our favorites bend and break all the rules–filling them with art, introducing unexpected shades and rich textures and capping them off with coordinating or contrasting hardware and fixtures–making these culinary workspaces as comfortable and stylish as any room in the house.

Spring brings out the inner-impressionist in all of us. Like clockwork, this season we’re gravitating towards softer and sweeter shades. Tones full of promise and possibility. This painterly palette reminiscent of egg hunts and garden blooms brings the outside in and adds an element of sun-dappled freshness to some of our favorite candy-colored spaces.    

After a quick introduction, we jumped at the chance to collaborate with de Gournay Director, Hannah Cecil Gurney when she set out to decorate her family home in London a few years back and more recently to light up a dramatic installation in the windows of the brand’s Chelsea showroom. Self-described as color-obsessed, Hannah's skillful use of color and pattern led to a transportive space that effortlessly flows from soft and cozy to vibrant and bold. Her selection of a cheery yellow paint on the Hedges sconces in her primary bath, adorned with hand-painted pink flamingos, was just one of many inspired choices.
