WHAT’S UP, WHAT’S NEW AND WHAT TO DO.
FABULOUS FURNITURE FINDS
Segueing into furniture design is a natural next step for many fashion designers and creative celebrities, and Christian Siriano is the latest to make it. The Project Runway alum has debuted his first-ever furniture collection, exclusive to 1st Dibs, and it’s a nod to his sculptural, innovative, red-carpet dresses: There are stools and chairs made of bouclé and wood as well as coffee tables and sofas that meld different textures and shapes. Prices range from $795 for a stool to $4,200 for a lounger at 1stdibs.com.
A TIMEPIECE TO TREASURE
If you weren’t one of the lucky ones who made it to Geneva this summer for the Patek Philippe “Rare Handcrafts 2021” exhibition, let us enlighten you: It’s where Patek artisans demonstrated their skills and prowess with 75 rare and limited-edition pocket watches, wristwatches and dome table clocks from 2020 and 2021. Each piece features the arts of engraving, enameling, marquetry, guilloche and/or gem setting. Only a few collectors are the proud owners of these limited-edition finds, but a small number of pieces are selling at patek.com, including this beauty called “Undulations in Black and White.” Patek Philippe small dome table clock in cloisonné enamel. Price upon request.

Remember when drawing on the walls was something you got spanked for? That was before Carter & Main’s “Color It Yourself” peel-and-stick wallpaper. It’s easy to apply and encourages young artists-in-training to get creative. The blackand-white print comes in five different patterns, from dinos to florals, and kids can get creative with markers, crayons or colored pencils for a nursery or playroom work of art that’s truly unique. Best yet: You can remove it at any time. Each 26-inch-by52-inch roll is $39.99 plus shipping at carterandmain.com.
