When we bring objects into our homes, whether it be rugs, art, cutlery or furniture, we invite a chance to tell a story. When we choose items with character, individuality and age we allow for those items to communicate a bit of their history that has often been gathered over time. And that time worn patina can imbue our homes with softness, individuality and history that can rarely be found in new, commercially made items. If you choose to call it wabi sabi, shibui or otherwise, the idea is the same and genuine older items can warm sometimes cold contemporary interiors and invite conversation and story if we allow it to. That is one of the main goals of the Atelier; to find unique and interesting items from around the world, whether it be rugs, flags, art, furniture etc. to help people create unique and character built interiors!
