1 week ago | 1stdibs.com | Courtney Lichterman

Certain New York events — like Fashion Week, Shakespeare in the Park and the New York City marathon — aren’t just annual happenings; they’re part of the culture. For the design community, the same might be said of Design on a Dime (DOAD), the furniture and home-decor shopping extravaganza held each spring to benefit people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as other New Yorkers in need.

2 weeks ago | 1stdibs.com | Andrew Sessa

For Elena Dendiberia and Homan Rajai — founders of the San Francisco–based 1stDibs 50 firm Studio AHEAD — crafting the interiors of this Silicon Valley residence was as much about balancing the husband-and-wife clients’ disparate energies as about selecting finishes, fixtures and furnishings, art and accessories that would turn the newly purchased mid-20th-century house into a 21st-century home for them and their young son.

Those who know glass artist Jeff Zimmerman best for the vine-like chandeliers with blossoming handmade glass globes that he’s been making since around 2008 might be shocked to see what else he’s been up to in recent years when they open the pages of Jeff Zimmerman: Glass, Light, Space.

3 weeks ago | 1stdibs.com | Cara Greenberg

Some call the works on view at Etage Projects conceptual. Some call them political. Maria Foerlev, owner of the airy Copenhagen gallery, calls them poetic. “What I usually say to justify showing these strange — to some people — things is ‘The world doesn’t need another chair, but we do need poetry.’ ”The “strange things” Foerlev purveys in her high-ceilinged white space in the city center are the otherworldly imaginings of an international assortment of contemporary artists and designers.

This Marquetry Surfboard Impresses, Whether on the Wall or the Waves

3 weeks ago | 1stdibs.com | Meredith Mendelsohn

Every Woodpop surfboard is designed to ride the waves. But none has had the chance yet, it seems. “Collectors prefer to hang them up,” says the firm’s founder, Emma Wood. “As far as I know, no one has tried to use one.” It’s no surprise, really. Operating out of her studio, in the Black Mountains of Wales, Wood inlays her surfboards with elaborate marquetry. The board’s deck is her canvas, and each of her ocean-minded designs a gleaming work of art.

Julia Sobrepeña King Designs with an 'Offbeat Chic' Aesthetic

1 month ago | 1stdibs.com | Fred A. Bernstein

It’s no wonder that every room designed by Los Angeles’s Julia Sobrepeña King reflects a range of influences. She began her career working for — and learning from — Southern Californian stalwarts Kelly Wearstler, Michael S. Smith and Waldo Fernandez. Then, she did stints with the hip L.A. firm Commune and the San Francisco master Charles de Lisle. By the time she opened Studio Roene, in 2021, she couldn’t imagine adopting just one style.
