The Weekend Read

Everything is on the table in our recurring weekend newsletter. Will you learn something about furniture? Perhaps! Some design tips? Likely! Maybe something else? Frequently! Will we soullessly shill products? We will not. Scout's honor!

	3/19/26 In Praise Of British Design Why does so much impactful design come out of the UK, and what are the reasons for the difference between what we see more commonly in the US? It turns out there are some very real explanations for the disparity between British and American home design. British residential interiors genuinely do exhibit more layering, color, and character than typical American interiors, and much of this is attributable to differences in the houses, culture, and psychology.
	2/14/26 On Never Finding A Color Match As the saying goes, "There's someone out there for everyone." As an optimist and romantic, I agree ? when we're talking about people. That same optimism does not extend to matching colors between materials, sadly.

On Boneless Sofas

Every few years, the furniture world decides it has reinvented the sofa. This time around, it's the boneless sofa — a bold new idea that asks: "What if we made furniture, but a little bit less?"
