Jonathan’s mission: to bring style, craft, and joy to your life. How? By creating a foundation of timelessly chic furniture and accessorizing with abandon. It all started with pottery. Jonathan first gave the wheel a spin at summer camp when he was 12 years old. He was obsessed with clay the moment he touched it, and the rest of his summer was spent in a clay-spattered Rush concert tee. Clay clay clay.
Jonathan opened his first store in Soho in 1998. Although pottery will always be his first love, his desire to design all the bits one needs to create a flawlessly chic home became more and more difficult to ignore. First, he designed a few innocent throw pillows, then the sofas on which to plunk those pillows, then the side tables with which to flank those sofas, then the lamps to light it all up…you get the picture. Each piece, from a vase to a bench, is fueled by Jonathan’s various points of inspiration: Mid-Century Modern design, Brancusi’s mix of guts and elegance, Pop Art, global pop culture, fierce femmes, luxe lifestyles.
Today, Jonathan’s work spans a myriad of categories, from furnishings to fashion. In less than 20 years he’s opened nearly 30 stores. With his serious design philosophy and colorful sense of optimism, he’s built a robust ecommerce site and a successful worldwide wholesale business with over 1,000 locations. His guiding motto, “If your heirs won’t fight over it, we won’t make it,” reflects his commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and irreverent luxury. And our current flagship store? It sits across the street from that little store with a dream from 1998.
