SWEPT AWAY

photos shiraz ansari








Filled with washed up treasures from the Pacific, Andrianna Shamaris is RAZ's favorite getaway to the tropics in NYC. Always worth the visit just to take in the indigenous woods, vivid pillows and artisan's handiwork of island belief and folklore. Just plain gorgeous. 121 Greene Street, Soho andriannashamaris.com

KIF








The Moroccan/African is the look, feel and food of Kif,
located in Brooklyn. Loving the ambiance....219 Dekalb Ave

WEAVE



I have been loving these woven accessories from Aero, ever since I got back from NYC. Just love the texture and the colorways...perfect if you want that laidback, yet refined style. I prefer the white washed pieces like the breakfast tray above, but the ice bucket with tongs and the small storage boxes with lids are also a nice accent to any space. aerostudios.com

EYE FOR DESIGN

Do... judge this book by the cover alone!

Just the most dazzling array of furniture, rugs, accessories, fabric and those to-die-for pillows!
Just be prepared to for go a paycheck...or two.

ALL ABOARD

Just spotted: Vintage NYC subway signs at Restoration Hardware. Love the graphic quality to these pieces and would be perfect at the end of a hallway or office area. RAZ has his eyes on the Wash Hts sign for obvious reasons...
