it’s not everyday that you get to see a space that makes you feel “like your are inside of a boat,” but it’s a concept that jewelry designer anna sheffield developed with todd fenton (architect) and clayton haske (carpenter) – definitely a different feel than the designers roots in new mexico, but i absolutely love the result, especially that they used salvaged doors sourced from old buildings in virginia to “give a feeling that it had looked this way for years.” and if the new space isn’t enough, anna has also recently launched a brand new [main] site (complete with iphone app!), and the new bing bang line just launched last week. for additional details not pictured below, click here. {thanks anna and jess for coordinating!} -anne

[in the words of anna: We wanted to maintain the integrity of the space, which is a classic Soho loft, when we renovated- Exposing the tin ceilings and beams, and keeping decorative moldings. Its very much inspired by the idea of a stationary ship. So in creating a showroom and atelier, we worked to incorporate elements from posterity like the salvaged oversize wood doors and estate furniture mixed with steel and brass fixtures and new exotic wood trims.. and of course the kitchen is a highlight- it is stylistically like a provincial lodge with its raw wooden planks an butcher block counters. we also have the workspace side of the building which you feel is there but its obscured behind the frosted glass windows and clerestory transoms at the top of the walls.]
