We Love Kate Spade
We’ve loved the Kate Spade brand for a long time. But, what we’re loving even more is the announcement of a new line, Kate Spade Saturday, targeting a younger demographic and at a lower price point. We’re excited about the news and looking forward to seeing what this means for the in-store environment. Kate Spade New York stores are known for the brand’s signature storytelling style and colorful brand personality, and we’re hoping “Saturday” will bring the same upbeat energy. Stay tuned; you know we’ll be watching. |

I love the Tre stool by Davis Furniture. I recently saw this item at NeoCon last June, but I rediscovered it again while browsing around on the Davis website. I had forgotten how much I love this stool.
The Tre stool is available in three heights: low, counter and bar, making it convenient for practically any purpose. It’s also available in various paint and wood grain finishes as well as white laminate.

Philippe Stark collaborated with Emeco to create a functional, sustainable and beautiful chair called the Broom Chair. For those of you who are not familiar with Emeco, they first manufactured the Navy Chair in 1944 to use on submarines, a chair that is still manufactured and used today! The Navy Chair is guaranteed for life as is the newest addition to the Emeco line, the Broom Chair.

Bess and Brian—our faithful Chutie “snaparazzis” in Düsseldorf—soaked in as much as they could at EuroShop. They’ve been on-the-go, non-stop, but they still made time to send a few notes to the team back home. On their list of key takeaways:
A note from the editors: “Inspiration boards” give a glimpse at the inner landscape of a creative person’s brain. The usual components tend to be images, words, sketches, photographs, swatches of material, postcards, poems, anything at all that tells a cohesive story. Boards can be used to convey a concept, a design direction, ideas for a kitchen remodel, or in our case, a personal narrative. Each month we feature an inspiration board from one of the creative spirits at Chute Gerdeman.
