A new era of gathering
Few homeowners have a living room that was once a grand ballroom, but such is the case for Scott Arnold and Christiana Mavromatis, who faithfully restored an 1890 Arts and Crafts house in Tannersville, New York, for their family of four. Set in Onteora Park, an artists’ enclave created by visionary feminist Candace Wheeler, the 7,000-square-foot home began as a community center. Today it hums with gatherings of a different kind – from World Cup watch parties to “epic sleepovers” – and serves as the setting for our latest arrivals.
Arts & Crafts meets modern
Kaia Extension Dining Table
Over 75 years after its debut, the Kaia Extension Table still feels like it belongs – in nearly any dining room – thanks to Danish designer Niels Otto Møller’s infallible sense of proportion. Slender tapered legs amplify legroom, while leaves hidden within the solid wood apron make it easy to expand its size.
New Canaan Wood Sit-to-Stand Desk
Whether in a new or a 19th-century home, work calls for seated stints and standing contemplation. The New Canaan sit-to-stand brings warmth and timeless minimalism to days spent deskside, with a durable wood veneer top that rises effortlessly on four legs.
Matera Bedroom Collection
Inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s gift for turning functional objects into sculpture, Sean Yoo designed Matera to conceal its intricate woodworking within simple silhouettes that become a seamless part of daily life.
Saarinen Executive Chair
Newly expanded by Knoll, Eero Saarinen’s versatile seat now comes with a wood veneer back, bringing warmth to a range of interiors. Its graceful arch extends down each side and wraps beneath the seat in one fluid movement.
Conceal and
reveal
For his 1969 Lotus Table Lamp, Italian glass designer Carlo Nason employed “pulegoso” – a pioneering 1920s Murano method that creates a semi-opaque texture with small air bubbles. The result? Less glare, more glow. “There is a quiet magic to it: a softness, a depth, a tactile presence that makes the light feel almost like a material in itself,” says Carlo’s son, Alberto Nason.
