Introducing: Coil + Drift

Led by modern dancer-turned-designer John Sorensen-Jolink, Coil + Drift was founded in 2016. Based in New York’s Catskill Mountains, the studio works with a wide range of materials, including brass, sand-cast metal, hand-blown glass, and sustainably-sourced domestic hardwoods, shaped into forms that feel simultaneously sculptural and deliberate. Coil + Drift sees design as the process of choreographing objects and space; making objects with material honesty, curiosity, and a deep spatial sensitivity. Every piece is created by their team of in-house artisans and local craftspeople.

“John has created something truly special and lasting with Coil + Drift. Over the many years I’ve known him, I have watched him consistently, tenaciously, and poetically push his studio into new creative territory. It’s my honor to welcome Coil + Drift into the permanent Colony roster.” – Jean Lin

Vibes Only: The Testament of Ann Lee

Directed by Mona Fastvold, The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) follows Ann Lee herself, a member of the Shakers in 18th-century England, as she leads and expands their movement to the United States. It is an epic musical and, while it does not focus closely on the furniture our industry so reveres, the film does trace how Shaker values were embedded in their labor, craftsmanship, and use of materials.

Inspired by the minimalist ingenuity of Shaker furniture, we’ve pulled together a selection of work that shares the movement’s emphasis on functional beauty.

The series continues what we consider our most imperative work: introducing the limitless spirit of the independent designer to the American market. 

“I am constantly seeking out work that breathes artistry and ingenuity into every detail. Through our new “Colony Presents” program, we can support a larger, even more diverse network of talented makers.” —Jean Lin

Introducing: Sarah Sherman Samuel Fall 2026 Launch

Designed by Sarah Sherman Samuel, this eight-piece collection marks a continuation of the world she has built through interiors, furniture, and objects. Each piece carries real weight and presence while inviting a closer look. Upholstered silhouettes are sculptural yet soft enough to feel lived in; ceramic inlays add unexpected details to hardwood forms. 

For Sarah, there proves to be no design inspiration deeper than the Michigan landscape of her childhood. At the heart of this collection is a balance between landscape, memory, and the hand. Samuel reveals that “flying kites on the beach, building forts in the woods and being surrounded by rivers, trees, stones, and water” were all memories turned effortless design details.

Vibes Only: Mississippi Masala

Mira Nair’s Missippi Masala (1991) follows the love story between Mina and Demetrius, two people from opposite sides of the world. There’s a cultural friction between their worlds, but it only brings the two closer together. 

Inspired by the colors and visual expression of the film, we’ve pulled together a selection of work that speaks to the warmth and color in this love story.

Introducing: Colony Architecture

We are elated to announce the official launch of Colony Architecture, a full service architecture studio in New York City. Eleven years ago, we began humbly in real estate staging and have since partnered closely with architects through all phases of their projects. Our earliest interiors clients found us the same way that our trade clients do today: through the roster of independent American designers on our gallery floor. With Colony Architecture, our commitment to independent design will now encompass every aspect of the built environment. Just as our interior design projects have given us greater insight into the ways heritage furniture is specified, our architectural projects will help us better anticipate spatial challenges on a larger scale. 

Colony’s nascent architectural projects present us the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the built environment. We will continue to work with our cherished ecosystem of ethically-driven creatives and makers to bring spaces to life where beauty and substance take equal precedence. 

“We believe that the best design is that which is made with integrity and the best spaces are those which bring meaning and purpose to the people who inhabit it.” —Jean Lin

Vibes Only: Under the Skin

Jonathan Glazer’s Under the  Skin (2013) starring Scarlett Johansson offers more of a viewing experience rather than a traditional plot. The film exists in an in-between that is told through a visual language of the world. Focused on high contrast, 70s imagery, and light alien aesthetic, Under the Skin is it’s own genre of sci-fi film. We’ve picked a few pieces that we think speak to the textures, themes, and visual vibes of the film, without getting too out of this world.
