Robert Otto Epstein's collection was inspired by the concept of "flattened forms." Using a superflat technique his art exudes a nostalgia for the past, conveyed with a vintage aesthetic inspired by fashion magazines from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Meet Robert on Uprise Art's blog>

We are loving this new line of stacking rings from Avindy! As you know, we are treasure hunters and only bring in the best of the best to our beloved 77 Wooster. This line of hand-crafted jewelry by mother-daughter team Avril & Cindy, caught our eye for its unique, understated and refined elegance. We were shocked to find they are also committed to making quality pieces that are quite affordable (diamond rings for under $400 - I'd say so!).

Mallory in Zebra Geo - Copper is just plain stunning.

We pour our creativity into the chic line of upholstery fabric we have created with Robert Allen - the authority on quality fabric. The current Modern Color Theory collection is coveted by our local shoppers, many ordering it on furniture and others buying it by the yard. Want to know the current favorite? Everyone is loving the Zebra Geo pattern in Copper, Current and Ink.

Happy Spring!

We're HUGE fans of Lonny Magazine (aren't you?). So imagine our excitement when they called us up asking a tour of our newly opened flagship store in New York City? (We were thrilled, of course!) We adore the article—it's beautifully written—and the images capture our 77 Wooster boutique in a stunning light. Here are a few screen grabs from the gorgeous August issue, but head to Lonny's site to read the full feature.

Thank you Lonny Magazine!

Its black façade may appear intimidating at first sight, but muster up the courage to venture inside and you’ll find madcap designs from the art studio Convoluted Construct.

We spoke with the Convoluted Construct artists (that’s a mouthful) to find out more about the inspiration behind this project: “Our idea for the traveling gallery comes from the constant search for gallery space in NYC. If you can’t find it, why not create it?”

The artwork combines dream-like landscapes, graphic illustrations and brushes of color that create a fantastical world reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Many of the paintings are silk-screened onto T-shirts, blurring the line between fashion and art.

We're totally on-board with the communal and start-up spirit of this cool summer project.

The 83rd Anomaly truck will be roaming the city streets all summer. Check the Convoluted Construct website for the full docking schedule, and let us know what you think!

The renegade spirit of New York street art aligns seamlessly with our founder Christiane's entrepreneurial spirit and her no-fear approach to taking risks and pushing the boundaries of success. So it's really fitting that to generate some street level buzz about our opening day we mounted our very own work of graffiti art. Once whispers of a possible street art collaboration started to travel around the Studio, one of our in-the-know staffers quickly connected us to CS Krew and within a week plans were set to adorn the empty, gated-lot just around the corner from our flagship.

We've always called Soho home—the company has really come of age in this neighborhood (our first offices were just down the street on Canal). And over the years we have loved playing witness to the innovative—and to put it simply—rad street art installations in our own backyard.

Thank you to Carlo Van de Roer for his video skills and to Duotone Audio Group for composing an original score and to CS Krew for collaborating with us. We LOVE our installation!

We LOVE these pomelo-scented candles (designed exclusively for the DwellStudio Flagship store). It's the perfect summer scent—so crisp! The pomelo is a beautiful green citrus fruit found in Southern Asia. Christiane actually hand-picked the scent because it reminds her of her trip to Bangkok earlier this year.

We've been so humbled by all the amazing press we've received about our flagship store. We would love share some of the stories...

We’re so lucky to have a wealth of galleries right at our finger tips here in SoHo. Stopping by during coffee breaks is a nice way to refresh the mind during long days in the office.

Peter Blum Soho

99 Wooster Street between Prince and Spring

Showcasing artists like Sol Lewitt (one of the abstract artists we love!) and Louise Bourgeois, the Peter Blum Gallery always has an interesting show primed for graphic inspiration.

Team Gallery

47 Wooster Street between Broome and Grand

If you’re into abstract sculpture, video installation and mixed media presentation, Team Gallery is for you. We’re always impressed with this gallery’s range of madcap offerings, and we love garnering a sense of who’s who in the ever-changing world of up-and-coming avant-garde artists.

Ground Support

399 West Broadway at Spring Street

We’re always on-the-go here at DwellStudio and for those many trips back and forth between the studio on 6th avenue and our flagship store on Wooster, Ground Support has become our coffee standard. The staff always greets us with a smile and a steaming cup of Intelligentsia drip. Plus we think it’s a pretty good sign when you can cull outfit inspiration from your baristas.

Phaidon Store

83 Wooster Street between Broome and Spring Streets

When we need a break from staring at computer screens and falling down the rabbit hole of Pinterest browsing, the Phaidon bookstore provides a welcome escape. The white washed walls and exquisitely produced hardcover art books restore our faith in the potential of print publishing’s staying power.

The Dutch

131 Sullivan Street at Prince

Some days it’s necessary to unwind from a long day with a fancy little martini glass in hand, and The Dutch has become a go-to for many of the DwellStudio designers. With an open and airy interior, grand French windows and beautifully styled food presentations, we feel right at home here.
