Weekend Spotlight: A Brooklyn Design Firm's Curated Collection - Remodelista
This weekend, our spotlight is on Studio Bartleby, a member of the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory, that recently launched Bartleby Objects, a collection of handmade objects and vintage products. The simple ethos, “We ultimately aim to achieve that sense of pleasure from a perfect fit and a nice thing,” says Mary Chan, Studio Bartleby’s principal designer. Chan’s hand-turned wood candle sticks can work individually or grouped together. Hand-Turned Candle Sticks An assortment of hand-turned candlestick holders made of whitewashed poplar, oiled cedar, and oiled claro walnut. Chan describes herself as “a knitter and weaver of no formal technique and 25 years of practice.” Her floor mat designs are produced in Peru. The Kubis Floor Mat is a hand-crocheted wool floor mat with rust knots and fringe, 18 by 24 inches; $485. The Kohl Floor Mat is a hand-crocheted black wool mat roughly 36 inches in diameter; $515. The Maize Floor Mat is hand-knit in Peru from gray/brown wool and alpaca; the 18-by-24-inch size is $450. For more information, contact Studio Bartleby. We can’t resist a good leather pull and Chan’s luggage tag-inspired pulls are especially satisfying to grasp. The leather will soften and acquire its own patina over time. The Natural Leather Door Pulls are 6 inches by 1.5 inches, hardware included; $35 each. The six-drawer walnut Warren Dresser is a Bartleby collaboration with furniture maker December Box. Blackened brass pulls and brass inlaid into the drawer fronts of the Warren Dresser combine to create a simple yet distinctive detail. The design is 30 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 48 inches tall; prices start at $9,500.
