Luxury: Custom Made

Part 3

Some folks  relish the process----the time needed to laboriously create/fabricate a something (or experience) by hand, by slow multi-steps.

And understand the value-and obtain great satisfaction-from the end result.

Others might need a nudge "...to spend a little money..." as recounted by Brian Sawyer (Sawyer/Berson) in the enviable image driven showroom presentation, Custom Luxuries- during the D&D Building's Fall Market 2018 open house.

For others who are short on time (or patience) -stunning one of a kind or limited edition possibilities exist ready to buy/deliver at well edited establishments such as Benoist Drut's Maison Gerard -in which to "build a room around."

Perhaps the most audience excitement was for the exhibitor showroom itself- where the event took place, DEDAR Milano.
You'd think they were giving away Halloween candy (or authentic espresso shots)...the audience at the Dendar Showroom hosted presentation Custom Luxuries... literally swarmed a samples' loaded oversized table adorned with fabrics-afterward. 

Drop dead gorgeous mashed with ne plus ultra might barely describe the assortment of luxe textiles, wallpaper and trimmings- currently on display at this fairly new to NYC showroom.

Fabric is the easiest way to make a space your own-via color or pattern...noted family member Caterina Fabrizio...of this Italy based company---with bolts of beautiful samples-some custom made for clients.

"Like a fashion wardrobe..." Dedar offerings are often inspired by couture, mastering the hand crafted techniques to "create your dreams."

Other Thoughts:

"Every fabric must be a journey..." via 3 D textural qualities, performance attributes (fire retardant finely woven damasks, silks, silk like-or  cotton coated linen textiles for restaurants -the latter-reminded us of LV haulers),  and statement making patterns...from archival designs, or inspired by geometrics, primitive-modern art, outerspace and nature...creating " magical moments that transform rooms."

Kudos to the moderator Galerie Magazine Editor Jacqueline Terrebone...who probably had every attendee checking out their (un)manicured hands.
