Designing a timeless, layered home begins with thoughtful curation. The most compelling interiors are built piece by piece, drawing on objects with history, craftsmanship, and a distinct point of view. The destinations below, personally selected by President Andrew Sheinman and Chief Strategy & Brand Officer Alexia Sheinman, are exceptional sources of inspiration, as well as remarkable places to discover furniture, lighting, antiques, and decorative pieces that can elevate and transform a home.

London

Few cities balance heritage and modernity with the effortless grace of London, and its design institutions reflect that duality. Howe is a treasure trove for those who prize patinated leather, bespoke upholstery, and antiques with quiet soul. Nearby, Jamb offers an unmatched collection of mantelpieces, lighting, and period furnishings that celebrate British neoclassicism while welcoming contemporary interpretation.

Sweden’s design legacy is defined by clarity, warmth, and a reverence for nature. Svenskt Tenn embodies each of these qualities. This institution champions Josef Frank’s exuberant patterns and imaginative modernism, inviting visitors into a world of craftsmanship that feels both playful and deeply refined.

Italy remains the beating heart of artisanal excellence. In Florence, Riccardo Barthel is a destination for impeccably crafted architectural hardware, custom furnishings, and one-of-a-kind objects shaped by regional artistry.
