The first concept of its kind, the “1stdibs@NYDC” marketplace changes the dynamic of the New York Design Center—a once design-trade-only building—into a progressive, all inclusive design resource.

1stdibs Opens in the New York Design Center

They’ve taken over the entire 10th floor of the New York Design Center, and they open to the public tomorrow (2/18). In short, it’s the most upscale antique mall ever — we had fun getting a sneak preview of the space and fantasizing about which big-ticket items we’d take home if we had the cash. Read more…
1stdibs: Brick and Mortar
The big news in the New York design world this week is the opening of the 1stdibs pavilion at the New York Design Center. As a 1stdibs dealer and a showroom owner at the NYDC-with my own vignette on the new floor–I’ve been in a unique position to witness the process from conception through negotiation to fruition. Last night’s opening event drew somewhere upwards of 2,000 people, possibly the best attended-and also possibly the best-design event I’ve been to. Read more…

Pro Portfolio: 1960s family home updated to blend cool with comfortable
In the renovation of this Beverly Hills-area home, we transformed a dated and awkward structure into a functional, modern home for a young family with two children. In the photo at top, a cream-colored chair from Nickey Kehoe complements the bentwood and leather coffee table from Thomas Hayes Gallery. It was important to temper the new concrete floors with wool and silk rugs. Read more…

The Robb Report Online: Antiques Again the Grain
Not far from Espasso’s Los Angeles showroom is NOHO Modern, which recently opened a second, 6,000-square-foot gallery in the city. Here, Brazilian pieces by the Portuguese-born Joaquim Tenreiro, the Romanian-born Jean Gillon, and others are on display. “Brazilian design is nowhere near exhausted from a collector’s standpoint,” says Jeremy Petty, who cofounded NOHO Modern with Thomas Hayes.

Shop Talk: NOHO Modern
Meanwhile Thomas Hayes, NOHO Modern’s co-owner and Petty’s high school friend from the Oakland area, is the son of a mother who was an antiques dealer (and an absent, gangster-type father). “As a child I was strongly encouraged to help with all the ‘dirty stuff’ and I hated it,” says Hayes. “I resolved at age twelve to get smart and work indoors at a nice clean desk so I’d never get the antique grime on my hands again!” Read more…
The New York Times: Cheep Chic
Birdhouses don’t usually get as much attention from designers as human houses do, but there’s no reason birds shouldn’t have some style at home. Online, they discovered unusual items like the industrial-looking wood-and-concrete sparrow colony house (on the German site manufactum.com) and a stoneware birdhouse designed in the 1970s by Victoria Littlejohn (on nohomodern.com).
If you choose the latter, you might want to think twice about hanging it outside. Read more…
The Scout: NoHo Modern opens in Hollywood with $125,000 chair
“The only thing more rare than a rare piece of furniture is the buyer for that rare piece of furniture,” says Jeremy Petty, a co-owner of NoHo Modern, with a laugh. He should know. Current inventory at the showroom that specializes in Brazilian, Scandinavian and California design includes a one-of-a-kind chair by Sergio Rodrigues for $125,000. Though Petty and co-owner Thomas Hayes may be sitting on that particular piece for a while, the recession hasn’t kept NoHo Modern from expanding. Read more…
The Los Angeles Times: Housewares Treated as Art
During the last two years, Los Angeles vintage design dealers — notably Reform and Noho Modern in West Hollywood and Ten 10 in Silver Lake — also have played the education card, refashioning their spaces for temporary museum-like exhibitions of California artists and craftsmen. At some of these shows, art trumps commerce, and some of the furniture on display isn’t even for sale. For many, the key to survival lies in the convergence of the fine art and home decor worlds.
