From Julie and Francesca:
John Danzer, designer of historically inspired as well as original garden furniture, likes to operate under the radar. However, his small, third-floor showroom at 799 Madison Avenue in Manhattan—well known among the interior and garden design crowd—is open to the public. His company, Munder-Skiles, makes beautifully proportioned, graceful garden and outdoor furniture; it’s expensive, but it will last forever.
