Custom Bridgewater Pieces

We just finished a set of custom pieces for an installation in Santa Barbara, California. The sofa, two armchairs and chaise were all fabricated in fabric by Clarence House with contrasting trim.

Classic Design on Chairish!

Have you heard of Chairish yet? It's a great marketplace for buying & selling home decor. As you may know, we periodically buy classic pieces, which are restored here, and oftentimes they stay indefinitely because the logistics of selling are difficult. Chairish makes it easier - you list, upload and they handle the transportation! We've listed some of the pieces we have on hand - click on over and browse a bit. Better yet, click on over and buy, buy, buy!

Another Classic Design sighting!

On my daily blog roll, I came across this story about the new Farmshop that opened in Marin County recently. The images are all lovely, but the photos of the bar and seating areas with stools that were made by Classic Design brought smiles to our faces.

It's always a treat to see our pieces in their intended places. Here are some photos of the stools before they left:

Be sure to check out the entire slideshow on the Domaine Home blog, it's a beautiful space!

White Silk Sofa

This is another recently finished piece for the installation I previously blogged about in New Jersey. The single seat is down filled and curves slightly at each end. The arms are sloped, and the recessed base is finished in white lacquer.

Custom Upholstered Headboard & Base

We just finished this Eastern King headboard & base for an installation in New Jersey (along with several other pieces I will be sharing).  This bed was designed to fit the clients' own Duxiana bed, and features horizontal square channels on the headboard from top to bottom. The base features the same fabric and is finished with square feet in white lacquer.

Classic Design sighting!

I love clicking and scrolling around, and finding work that we've done online (or in print)! While I'm very happy with the photos I am able to take in our little makeshift photo studio, there's nothing better than seeing a project in it's home, being used.

Earlier this week, after I uploaded to Tumblr, I scrolled down to check on a few of my favorites, and came across a link to an article about a historic A. Quincy Jones home (Tyre House) that was restored. As it turns out, we had restored & reupholstered the built-in sofa featured. Here it is as featured; it is truly beautiful in the home:

Here it is pre-restoration:

And after restoration:

If you would like to read more about this historic home & its' restoration, the L.A. Times article is here. It's humbling to be involved in these iconic restorations, and we are so happy that people are reviving these classic modern homes.

Leather Chesterfield Sofa

We just finished a leather Chesterfield style sofa for a client in New York. The leather is from Ashbury Hides and has a wonderful worn vintage look, which was exactly what the client was after. The legs are recessed far under the sofa, which gives it the illusion of floating in the room.
