Ochre Love Affair

March 23rd, 2007

Here’s a story of design DNA from Julie and Francesca:

A few years ago, Julie became fixated on a new UK furnishings line, Ochre, while paging through favorite magazine World of Interiors (or was it British Elle Decor?). Moves to London for a year; visits the Ochre booth at the 100% Design interiors show. Fast forward a year; Francesca mentions she has come across great new store, Ochre, in SoHo. Begins to haunt the shop like a stalker. The two of us visit over Christmas; almost hyperventilate at the beauty. If you’re in NY, stop by at 462 Broome Street (212/414-4332). In London, their showroom is open by appointment (27/31 Clerkenwell Close; 44 0870 787 9242). Or scroll through the website: www.ochre.net. Just have the smelling salts at the ready.

The Broom Street shop in NYC:
