When talented hands turn to fine materials, products that last a lifetime are often the outcome.

Fill Your Home and Closet with These Artisan Crafted Products

Antiquarian Shop

The Bea Stool, offered in three colors, serves as flexible pull-up seating or as a water-safe end table. Indoors or outdoors.

Rosemary Hallgarten

Designer Hallgarten wanted to honor the past but look towards the future with her new Country Manor collection, photographing the sleek, modern pieces in Great Britain’s atmospheric Ashby Manor. The pieces come in classic fabrics and skins including silk, mohair, alpaca, and shearling, in warm in colors like deep cognac, soft camel, oxblood, and vintage green.

Brenda Friday Design

North Carolina’s Michael Noelle designs and hand-makes unique artisan cigar pouches and handbags. Their Soigné Tote, both practical and beautiful, is ready to be your “go everywhere” bag.

Elitis

Shown as part of Déco Off during Paris Design Week earlier this year, this wall covering mixes raffia, linen, and wool. They are combined in a repeating pattern inspired by the Japanese concept of yūgen, which roughly translates as subtle grace or beauty, something not immediately obvious. The company calls it “a dialogue between emptiness and fullness through airy abstract patterns, faux plains with intricate textures, and playful knots.”

Danny Mankin

When we asked TABLE Contributing Editor Danny Mankin to share a selection of materials and objects that inspire him, he appeared with a treasure trove of textures, objects old and new, personal sketches, books, bits of jewelry, and more. They telegraphed important messages to ponder when diving into a creative project. Or life. Defining who you are is an act of constant discovery: you need to fall in love with the mysteries of what crosses your path and look for ways to layer their virtues into your vision. And, perhaps most important: Everything and everyone is a text to be pondered, which means hasty rejection and harshess have no place in a tender vision for living. Thank you, Danny. His Instagram feed is a testament to his journey.
