The Current

The call of the country and its promise of open spaces and fresh perspectives has never been stronger.  From rich honey yellow to deep bottle green, the colors in this collection evoke warmth and comfort and bestow the timeless quality of a well-worn patina. 

No matter the season or style, the kitchen plays a pivotal role in everyday life. From coffee to cocktails, second breakfasts to midnight snacks, and every nourishing moment in between, the kitchen is both the hub of daily activity and a constant source of comfort and joy. Whether it’s in Provence or Pittsburgh, no aesthetic better exemplifies the homeyness of home better than the country kitchen.   

AN EXCERPT FROM THE CURRENT, VOL. 2 For Nick Ashley-Cooper, the 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, an unexpected twist of fate led to a commitment to reviving and sustaining his ancestral estate. With the help of a merry and talented band of kindred craftsmen and creatives, he continues to transform his family’s house into a home.

Tucked along a scenic stretch of Blue Ridge beauty near Cashiers, North Carolina, Tink’s Cottage is proof that a country house is as much about a state of mind as it is a defined destination. Country life, after all, is about freedom, retreating on one’s own terms to create room for exploration and expression inside rooms that maximize well-being.  

Being "in the Country” is as much about a state of mind as it is a specific place—and maybe even more so. It’s escape, freedom, room to move and dream and the presence to hatch plans that would otherwise be suspended in incubation. And that impulse is nothing if not universal.
