To celebrate the arrival of spring in New York our designer Lauren made a trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  "It’s one of the things I think is so special about living in this city. One minute you are walking down a busy road and the next you are swept into an incredible garden. It was truly magical.  Aside from the famous cherry blossoms being in full bloom, the lilacs, tulips and peonies all made their beauty known. The colors, textures, and smells of all of the blossoming flowers were so inspirational. I couldn’t resist snapping some photos".

Architectural Digest's June issue focuses on beautiful country houses; one of which gives a "nod to Philip Johnson's Glass House".  The Hudson Valley, New York home was designed by Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects with interiors by Clodagh, who "sprinkled her fairy dust and did her feng shui" (said appreciatively by homeowner, Cynthia Vance).

Our fabric, Lumina, is used in four different colorways in the home's library. The Arts and Crafts sofa cushion is upholstered in colorway vellum, while the pillows (from front to back) are covered in colorways sand, tangerine, and carbon paper.

Hospitality Design's April issue proved to be a huge treat. It was packed with over 20 dazzling projects - from hotels and swanky clubs in New York City to spas and restaurants in Asia. We were lucky enough to have our fabrics sourced in some of these amazing spaces!

A lovely spread on Glowbal Group's Black + Blue restaurant in Vancouver, BC, features POLLACK curtains in Vintage Velvet and chairs in Palette. Design: Box Interiors.

We were also introduced to Jay-Z's 40/40 Club, where our Magic in wand was used for the stadium seating.  The name of the club is borrowed from the baseball term used to denote the exclusive group of Major League Baseball players who have achieved the rare individual feat of recording 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season. Design: Jeffrey Beers
