A desk is part of your every day life, shaping the rhythm of your routine. Each of our designers has their own take on the shape of a desk. The Veil Desk by Riffmade allows for separation between work and life; the Skimming Stone 03 Desk by SSS Atelier offers warmth and weight to a space designed for your work. MTM Studio’s Very Dark Brown desk takes a more classical shape with a unique material. Every one of these options prove that a desk can serve its utilitarian purpose without compromising beauty.

Vibes Only: The Rider

June 16, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Chloé Zhao’s 2017 film The Rider follows the story of a rising rodeo star and horse trainer who survives a near-fatal accident and is left trying to redefine his identity outside of the rodeo in the aftermath.

Inspired by the open land and Americana feel of the film, we’ve selected a few pieces from our collection which evoke that same western energy.

June 16, 2026 / "If the name Chloé Zhao sounds familiar, it might be because she directed the acclaimed "Hamnet" which cleaned up at the Oscars this year. I much prefer "The Rider!"

Spec Sheet: Cove/Arc Cabinet by KWH

June 10, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Designed by KWH, the Cove/Arc Cabinet is made of solid wood, giving it both a physical and visual weight. The piece features a continuous concave arc detail that wraps around the entire profile, revealing the collection’s signature end-grain craftsmanship. After working with more decorative concepts earlier in his practice, Kai-wei Hsu of KWH returned to solid wood and considers it pivotal to his work. As he said in Jean Lin’s book, What We Keep, “I’ve started to let the material and the process speak in the design itself.” This perspective is evident in the Cove/Arc Cabinet: a simple form and elegant details render the piece classic and unique at the same time.

Studio Visit: Fleeting Gestures by Anjuli Bernstein

June 1, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

This week we are sharing a look into artist Anjuli Bernstein’s studio in advance of her debut exhibition at Colony, Fleeting Gestures.

These shots show Anjuli’s studio as it is, orderly and precise; each skein of yarn wrapped neatly alongside the next. Every one of her newest pieces was woven on the lowest floor of an industrial building in Bushwick. Inside her studio, South-facing windows let in a soft wash of light. Woven samples hang on various pin-boards and glimmer in its rays. The space is serene—perfect for the concentration weaving demands.

Join us next Thursday, June 11 to view these woven works off the loom and on the gallery walls. We hope to see you there!

You’re Invited: Fleeting Gestures by Anjuli Bernstein

May 26, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Join us to welcome textile artist Anjuli Bernstein to the Colony roster with her exhibition Fleeting Gestures, a debut of her newest woven works. We first encountered Anjuli through our consultation program and recognized her as a gifted technical weaver with immense artistic potential. We have had the privilege of providing mentorship throughout the development of Fleeting Gestures over the last six months and encouraging all of Anjuli’s most romantic impulses. From our very first studio visit, we have been enchanted with her inspirations as if they were our own. From the repeating perforations on a seashell to a sense of vast geological time, each artwork in the presented collection is imbued with a poetic viewpoint.

Celebrate the ephemerality captured in Fleeting Gestures by pausing to reflect alongside it. We hope you’ll gather with us on Thursday, June 11th to view Anjuli Bernstein’s weavings in person.

Spec Sheet: Taper Side Table

May 5, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Designed by our newest designer, Otzi, the Taper Side Table is a hardworking piece. A solid, hand turned poplar base is covered in a leather sleeve, which is carefully hand-stitched and laced to add subtle texture to the form. The table top is made from beautifully figured boards of locally sourced hardwood which can be matched with any of Otzi’s leathers for a near-endless configuration of finishes.

Vibes Only: Janet Planet

April 28, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Director Annie Baker’s Janet Planet follows a single mother and her eleven year old daughter over the course of a summer in rural Massachusetts. The film is a meditative study of its two central characters set against an atmospheric collage of early 90’s New Age spiritualism.

Inspired by the the woods of New England and the film’s depiction of home, we’ve pulled together a selection of material-forward work from our collection.

You’re Invited: Sarah Sherman Samuel Solo Show + Book Launch

April 15, 2026 Madeleine Parsons

Join us to celebrate an exhibition of new work by Sarah Sherman Samuel presented alongside her first monograph. The book traces the intersections of Sarah’s practice across interiors, furniture and art; while the objects exhibited offer a tactile expression of those ideas. Together they form a dialogue between process and outcome, between the built environment and the objects which inhabit it.

Ultimately this collection of new work from Sarah Sherman Samuel invites a slower reading. One where weight is felt and wonder emerges in the details.

Celebrate alongside us with cocktails and a book signing—we hope to see you there!
