Not only is the weather warming up, but so is creativity in the design world, with an endless stream of exciting new launches, openings, and collections. This month, we’re inspired by collaborations like Corey Damen Jenkins’s lighting for Eichholtz, the revival of 1960s and ’70s icon Tillett Textiles, a stunning new gallery from interior designer Robert Stilin, and much more.
Robert Stilin Gallery
“Design needs to be experienced, not just viewed. You need to touch something, sit in it, feel its weight and proportions, and understand how it occupies space. That kind of understanding can’t come from a screen,” says designer Robert Stilin, whose new gallery in New York’s Flatiron neighborhood is a testament to those IRL experiences. Created as an immersive space rather than a traditional retail store, it features fine midcentury and custom furniture, lighting, and art, sourced from around the globe with Stilin’s unerring eye for excellent design.
Tillett Textiles
Tillett Textiles, originally founded in 1946 by husband and wife D.D. and Leslie Tillett, has long been known for its exuberant hand-screened, custom-colored patterns. (In the 1960s and ’70s, it was a favorite of style icons like Jackie Kennedy, Sister Parish, Albert Hadley, and Bunny Mellon.) Now owned by Schumacher, the brand is undergoing a full-fledged revival, and now offers a selection of stocked favorites (including the garden-fresh Geranium, seen above) in addition to customizable hand-prints.
Shawn Henderson x ALT for Living
Interior designer Shawn Henderson’s new rug collection, a collaboration with Analisse Taft-Gersten of ALT for Living, explores negative space in the unexpected context of rugs, with geometric cut-outs, dimensional texture, and jagged borders. “Rugs are so often treated as background, but I wanted to explore how they could shape a space more profoundly; how we experience rugs, not just walk over them,” says Henderson. His six rich neutral and jewel-toned designs are handwoven in Nepal from silk and wool.
Atelier Paris Collection by Schumacher
Before joining Schumacher Paris as design director, Astrid Elineau worked for the likes of Hermès and Groupe Chanel’s Maison Lemarié. This high-fashion background shines in her debut Atelier Paris collection for Schumacher, featuring textiles and trims that are “unexpected for interiors,” focusing on texture, which “adds an extra dimension that allows us to introduce pattern without relying solely on color.” From the syncopated Skyline Stripe to the dazzling metallic Tenue de Soirée to tactile Quilted Waves, it is a celebration of remarkable creativity.
Corey Damen Jenkins for Eichholtz Lighting
For its first-ever designer collaboration, European furniture and lighting firm Eichholtz tapped Corey Damen Jenkins to create a collection of dramatic lighting that draws on everything from Art Deco glamour to ancient Egyptian motifs to celestial references, all filtered through Jenkins’s flair for the theatrical and historic, “reimagined through a modern lens.”
Buchanan Studio for Original BTC
Designers Angus and Charlotte Buchanan, the couple behind London’s buzzy Buchanan Studio, have partnered with heritage British lighting brand Original BTC to launch Neotenic, a new range of fixtures with a sweet twist. The pendants, ceiling and wall fixtures all feature swirly, marbleized handblown glass shades in colorways named for the Neopolitan ice cream flavors they evoke—strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.
Johnson Hartig for Patterson Flynn Rugs
The endlessly inventive, Los Angeles-based fashion designer Johnson Hartig is known for his fearless use of graphic pattern, color, and unexpected juxtapositions, with references ranging from punk rock to science and nature. He’s now turned his singular eye to rug design with his debut for Patterson Flynn. The wide-ranging collection includes both bold graphic motifs and quieter textural designs, all luxuriously hand-knotted in wool and silk.
Marmi Entertaining
A luxurious new entertaining collection from the Italian stone artisans at Marmi features four sculptural, well-outfitted bars and one bar cart, all available in a wide range of hand-carved stones and metal accents. The Capella Center Bar, shown above in Arabescato Corchia Antico marble with burnished brass, includes an integrated sink, shelves, and raised bar to create a dramatic all-in-one entertaining centerpiece.
Pocketbook Hudson Hotel
Built in 1883, this former mill and pocketbook factory (as well as the largest landmarked building in Hudson, New York) has been reimagined as a distinctive boutique hotel with interiors designed by Charlap Hyman & Herrero. The industrial brick-and-timber building with oversized now hosts 46 guest rooms, a restaurant featuring live-fire cooking, shops showcasing the work of local artisans, a spa and communal baths, and even a club tucked into the former factory’s boiler room.
