Premium Home Decor and Fashion in Pittsburgh
Orr’s Jewelers
A fine watch celebrates traditional craftsmanship and technological precision. There’s no men’s style stamen more reassuring than that! Shown here, clockwise from top left: Breitling Chronomat 42 NFL Steelers Edition, Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, Cartier Santos de Cartier, Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds, Bell & Ross BR03 Skeleton Lum Ceramic, IWC Pilot’s Watch 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Edition, Tudor Black Bay Chrono, Breitling B01 Chronograph 43 Navitimer, and IWC Ingeniuer Automatic 40.
Chelsea Textiles
Havisham fabric from Chelsea Textiles is another example of faded grandeur, this time evoking Lady Havisham’s disheveled, Dickensian country residence. The printed fabric is designed to appear naturally distressed in places, making it look as if it might have been done decades—or centuries—ago. This cotton and hemp blend comes in teal, seafoam, and fern.
DWR
The Atlason Composed Modular Sofa and Sectional is a new DWR gem by Icelandic designer Hlynur Atlason. Its various configurations connect and expand your seating options as far as your room and imagination will go. Visit DWR’s new showroom in the Strip District to see it in person.
Tile and Designs
Open up new depths in your bath or kitchen with Frondere Aqua’s serene blue-green hue and crackle glaze finish. Each tile features a subtle three-dimensional surface and a handmade look.
James Mohn Design
Architect and interior designer James Mohn shares with TABLE a glimpse of a dining and family room he’s putting together as part of a substantial reimagining of a 1929 Ingham and Boyd house built in the style of a Norman chateau. Verdigris bronze vases and dark wood finishes bring an intensity to otherwise classic choices of Holland and Sherry Chilean tweeds, Venetian-inspired printed cottons from Le Gracieux, and trims from Samuel and Sons. The intricate marquetry floors of the room are by Peiser Floors.
Important depth comes into the picture from a 19th century marble mantlepiece from England and a delicious antique Chinese rug from Doris Leslie Blau. As always, Mohn quietly seasons his work with found objects and art. “Every well-thought-out room needs the warmth and tactility of the handmade. Time-worn hints of history take us somewhere important. Together, all the details lead to a sensuous, layered experience for the eye and the hand.”
