By now, you’ve heard about Leslie Williamson’s Handcrafted Modern, a collection of interior studies from some of the giants of mid-century modern design. This book has literally been passed about our Greenpoint warehouse since its launch in October. We love this book, but we’re really in love with Williamson’s blog, where since the book’s publication, she’s been showcasing supplemental photos, outtakes, and photos that didn’t make the cut.

The last few weeks of summer always seem bittersweet – anxiety about a new school year, squeezing in those last beach trips, movies in the park, weekend getaways…but this month’s Hampton Cottage & Garden has a few tips in their Gardening and Flower Power section on how to bring some summer inside for a few more weeks.

We always love making contact with great local organizations and companies…So, when we met with Anne-Laure Py and the folks at Craftspring a couple of weeks back, we were so excited to meet a company with a similar mission to collaborate with small-scale artisans who are keeping the flame of hand-crafted pieces and traditional techniques burning.

Through an English friend of FTS, we were recently introduced to Robin Wood’s hand-crafted bowls – one of a group woodworkers keeping the art of hand turning on pole lathes breathing, making garden furniture, even carving spoons. There’s a great piece from the Guardian’s ‘Disappearing Acts’ series about traditional methods and crafts that are being kept alive as we hurtle through the digital age.

One of the reasons we love having folks come visit the warehouse is being a part of the inspired moment when a customer comes in with one idea and is magically compelled to go in a different direction. So we weren’t surprised when the team at Chloe contacted us for pieces to use in their new pop up store in East Hampton.
