I was very moved by the selection of the products in the photo with the mural. I used it as an inspiration for a space that combines the old with the new. I was curious about the mural itself. Can u tell me it’s origin? Id like to find a similar one….Rachel septimus

i love how personal the collection is to him—- there are fabrics & china patterns that I remember from my grandparents’ homes on both sides that I still think about. memories are tied so deeply in pieces like those from our childhood.

My grandma used pieces from a bunch of different china sets on a daily basis in our family’s lakehouse. 15 years after she died, every piece of my favorite pattern (wild thistle) had been broken except for 1. I took that piece & was able to find it on replacements.com and I ordered 8 place settings. Looking at it & using it today just gives me the best feeling. Serving my 2 yr-old the same soup she used to make out of the same bowl…

ok, TOTALLY off & way too long of a comment but I really love what he’s doing here & it’s just so special.

xoxo,
lauren

I saw his collection at the WDC. I really liked them. I ordered a few memos for some current projects ~ I think they will be wonderful.

I am so glad you’ve posted these. I haven’t been able to make it down to any of the events downtown this week due to being down for the count with a combo of some stomach bug and a sinus infection….so I really appreciate the glimpse in!

Barry is a master of theory it is re-freshing! The de satuurated hues create that harmonious tonality..the transiton from tone to intense chroma is seamless! Congrats..look forward to using these in my color theory class.

Jennifer – Wonderful presentation, thank you! The photographer who took the shots for Vervain is Erik Kvalsvik. His shots are far superior than mine (that goes without saying) and I feel I need to give him some credit – ha! Of course we’re over the moon with the positive feedback. The full collection can be viewed and at the J. Lambeth showroom in DC and at various showrooms in major US cities. Thanks all!!
