Hable Construction Fabric

From Julie:

Here’s an Anthropologie alternative: Find a dowdy chair at a second-hand store and upholster it in fabric from Hable Construction, one of our favorite print-and-pattern outfits. Go to hableconstruction.com for procurement info.

Fritz Hansen Visit

From Julie:

Some interior images that make one’s own existence seem hopelessly bourgeois: the townhouse of Jacob Holm, head of Fritz Hansen, in Klampenborg, Denmark, and his wife, industrial designer Barbara Bendix Becker. Regard the masterful juxtaposition of antique gilt mirrors and sleek Poul Kjaerholm pieces. Go to fritzhansen.com for more images.
