Coquille D’Oeuf

An old-world Vietnamese lacquer technique used to create delicate and unique surfaces. Before there was a white pigment for lacquer, artisans would use bits of duck or chicken egg embedded by hand into the surface.

Textiles by Fabric & Steel

Fabric and Steel makes artisan-crafted textiles designed in Brooklyn, woven in Europe, and hand screen printed in New England. Founded by Michele Dopp, their textiles reflect the relationship between the ephemeral interior, fleeting experiences, and the permanent exterior of buildings. Beautiful, rough, architectural materials paired with refined, intimate design inspire the line.

Their fabrics are timeless – durable and meant to experience a life of many years. The line is thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed – not a product to be consumed and tossed - but something to be cherished and kept. The designs are emphatically of our time, a reflection of who we are now. They capture our moment, refuse imitation – and integrity endures.
