Original in every way
From the people defining what’s next to the places that show what’s possible – these are modern design’s greatest stories.
Tracee Ellis Ross
For PATTERN Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross, beauty is a celebration of self-expression. As her company grew, so did the need for an office where people could connect and feel inspired. “DWR was able to help warm up the space and create eclectic, joyful warmth,” she says.
Piaule
In New York’s Catskill Mountains, Piaule lets nature lead. Co-founders Nolan McHugh and Trevor Briggs opened the “landscape hotel” in 2021 – and in partnership with DWR, have now outfitted it in furniture equal to its surroundings.
Willy Chavarria
Fashion designer Willy Chavarria reveals “layers of interest” in his runway collections – as well as his home, where his passions, personal beliefs, and creative ethos are reflected in a lifetime of belongings.
Sandy Liang
Nostalgia, joy, and a little bit of humor – fashion designer Sandy Liang takes inspiration from her girlhood memories, without feeling too precious. Her keepsake-filled home exudes that same authenticity and livability.
Devin Wilde
Trained in architecture, Devin Wilde brings structure to ornamentation. His hand-sculpted tables and vessels distill Art Deco buildings into “usable art,” glazed in richly saturated tones.
Susan Clark
Designer Susan Clark moves effortlessly between disciplines – glassblowing, metalworking, weaving, woodworking – each shaping her restrained, material-driven approach to design.
WeShouldDoltAll
WeShouldDoItAll lives up to its name by doing it all, together. The close-knit studio works without hierarchy, allowing collaboration and fluidity to produce bold, unexpected results.
BassamFellows
Designers Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows coined “Craftsman Modern” to describe their approach: honest materials, clean lines, and meticulous construction, imbued with tactile warmth.
Jerald Cooper
Photographer Jerald “Coop” Cooper fuses memory, pop culture, and design to reframe architectural history through the lens of Black culture.
