The concrete-floored storefront delivers a heady mix of post-industrial nostalgia, contemporary chic and just plain weird. Furniture designs by co-owners Sara Parisotto and Hamid Samad tend toward spindly stainless steel frames, weighty Douglas fir and delicate Carrara marble. A beige-streaked marble coffee table ($1,500) looks great with one of the solid walnut credenzas ($2,500–$3,800). Most furniture is custom; the designers’ theatrical sensibility is demonstrated by an elaborate 11–foot gilt frame. Their quirky side is manifested in shadow boxes ($250–$395) featuring such unique artifacts as mismatched taps and Matchbox cars.
