The Best Little Museum in New York!



Technically The Fisher Landau Center for Art is in Long Island City, a quick shot over the Queensboro Bridge. Emily Fisher Landau has accumulated an impressive collection of art starting from 1960 to the present from artists like Donald Judd, Agnes Martin, Ed Ruscha, Cy Twombley, Jenny Holzer, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg. On a non-descript street in a former parachute factory the immaculately white building is crowd free, as if you are walking around your own private museum. And there is no admission fee. Make a day of it and go to the Noguchi Museum, PS1, and the Socrates Sculpture Park(a Trans Am trophy!), all are nearby.

Classic Cameras


Stylistically this Rolleiflex camera by Minox is reminicscent of times gone by, but underneath the vintage design is a digital camera with today's technology. The shutter release even requires you to manually wind the crank. It's available in a no non-sense black, or a more sporty red and black. Not surprisingly, Minox also makes the 007 Spy cam, check it out at license-to-shoot.com.

Pendleton Wool Blankets



This has been a long winter and it's not showing signs of stopping. One of our favorite old school home accessories that you probably remember from Grandpa's cabin are Pendleton Woolen Mill's blankets. One of our favorites is the Grand Teton National Park blanket from the National Park series. The simple, bold designs made from wool will stand the test of time. Warm up the bed and your decor with any one of these. They will last forever.

Savannah Desk and Regency Dresser

With our new designs, the Savannah Desk and the Regency Dresser, we decided to use fabric to cover the drawer faces for texture and depth. This is another way to customize our furniture so that you can make each piece your own. The fabric option along with our many multi layered, hand applied finishes help you to create the perfect piece for your home. The Regency Dresser is shown in color cerused iron mountain gray with a high gloss finish and wool flannel drawer faces. The Savannah Desk is shown in a weathered finish with Belgian linen drawer faces. Each piece of furniture is hand made in our Connecticut factory. Please contact our Client Services Group and make an appointment to visit our studio in SoHo where we can offer inspiration and ideas for your home.
