Scene Design Dispatch
Three furniture debuts with New York ties spice up the design scene this season
When developing its Heritage Collection of furnishings, Studio Seitz founder Kevin Seitz set out to channel the craft traditions of his native Berneck, Switzerland, which is home to his family’s wood-joinery workshop. The New York-based studio’s latest item is a wall mirror inspired by the Fahreimer—a classic Alpine milking pail—produced using FSC-certified solid European Ash. This new piece combines the brand’s commitment to revitalizing skilled techniques that are rapidly disappearing and its adherence to modernist principles. And its release this fall coincides with the opening of Seitz and partner Rob van Wyen’s new Williamsburg, Brooklyn, showroom—in no less than a converted babka factory.
