Roaming around the Decorators and Designers Building at 979 Third Avenue in NYC is my normal routine. This is where I source, not all, but a lot of fabrics, furniture, accessories, etc. I was on the 17th floor, and glanced down the hallway to a rainbow of colors! The Artistic Frame company is one of the "go to" places for, "if you can dream it, they will figure it out, and build it" kind of places.... They already have hundreds of different chairs and sofas in their repertoire, but are constantly looking to what's new and innovative...
The first thing you see when coming into the showroom is a spectrum of prints!... This is a new line of custom fabrics that you can actually print any image you want on it, then upholster away! Super fun, and a definite statement piece in anyone's home.
They do the whimsical as well... Again your imagination is the director of what is possible. This chair, which I'm kind of loving was picked up by the hotelier giant Ian Schrager for a project he did...
Artistic Frame also does casegoods... Above is just a sample of the amazing slabs of wood you can use on a dining table, or a more innovative material like the undulating wood blocks that you could turn into a stunning cocktail table, topping it with a thick piece of glass... Amazing!
So, if you were used to walking down Third Avenue before and seeing the large chair back from street level, and now the storefront looks bare, it's because they moved inside, but are still going strong, and looking spectacular!
