Happy Thanksgiving!

As it’s Thanksgiving week, we decided to ask our coworkers “what are you thankful for?” Responses were overwhelmingly similar, “family … actually, everything!” but one answer stood out from the rest: “I am thankful the sun is shining and the earth is spinning, the wind is blowing and most of all, that I can enjoy it all.”

The dp studio family would like to wish you and yours a safe and happy thanksgiving holiday.

ICFF 2009

Some of you may remember us from ICFF 2008 where we showcased our designs to the trade and the public. Well, Diane Paparo Studio has confirmed our space in the ICFF 2009 show! We’re thrilled to fill our booth with some favorites from last year and to show a few new pieces. Though we’re still working through the details, we’ll be sure to keep you updated as dp studio continues to work towards next year’s ICFF show.

The Strong Buzz & DPA!

Foodie Andrea Strong mentioned Diane Paparo Associates in her popular food blog, The Strong Buzz. Strong, who took the time to visit Braeburn Restaurant, made some lovely comments on the décor by DPA:

The restaurant was designed by Diane Paparo Associates and it feels intimate and warm with a palate of earth tones. In the front room you’ll find a polished concrete bar and light walnut wood floors, while the dining room is marked by alder wood branches, rich chocolate brown banquettes and mesquite-tiled tables. A hand-painted mural of Bistrong’s apple orchard and family farm in East Haddam, Connecticut is the room’s visual anchor.

We appreciate the kind words towards our sister company and encourage you to check out Braeburn as soon as possible – we’re dying to try the seared shrimp-crusted codfish Strong mentions in her piece!

DPA on Gobbl Feed

DP Studio and DPA at home

Diane Paparo has spent many of her years designing for her firm Diane Paparo Associates. She created Diane Paparo Studio “out of necessity”. Diane’s high-end clients were on the search for something different, something custom, something unique from their furniture, linens and rug choices, and thus, dp studio was born. dp studio is lucky in a sense, because as DPA clients continue to work on their homes, they often turn to dp studio products for a special touch.

One of Diane’s most recent projects purchased several great pieces, including the Skyline Bar Chair, the Otto Table, and the Wave Tiles. With help from Diane, they created a comfortable balance in the home through shades of yellow and brown, cream lacquers and maple wood. The addition of Wave Tiles employed as a back splash in the wet bar helped create depth through bouncing light, casting shadows, and echoing the shape of the sink.

For more details on the highlighted pieces or the full dp studio collection please visit our website.

dp studio in Your Home and Lifestyle Magazine

Diane Paparo Studio was pleasantly surprised to find out we were published in the October 2008 issue of Your Home and Lifestyle Magazine! Pick up the current issue, which highlights our Hand-Tufted Lotus Rug in the Danish Morning colorway as a “dynamic and harmonious composition”.

Lampworks

The last few months in the dps office were spent excitedly putting together a wine and cheese tasting event to celebrate our fall window vignette in a New York lighting center. We were approached by Lampworks to be a part of their Designer Showcase. With the dp studio collection starting to gain recognition, you can imagine that we were thrilled with the opportunity! The wine and cheese event, which happened October 16th, was the perfect venue to do more than talk furniture. With Raven’s amazing food displays accompanying the incredible wines and catered plates, all of which were organic, guests found more than just the furniture to be inspirational.

If you missed the event, please stop by the Lampworks Showroom at your own convenience to see our display. You’ll receive an exclusive look at the brand new Concave Chest, our latest product to coordinate with the very successful Concave Armoire. Now on display as part of our fall window vignette, the Chest continues to bring versatility and style in eye-catching colors. The Chest can be viewed alongside our most popular pieces, including the visually stimulating visually stimulating Luxe Sofa Table, featuring a Macassar ebony inlay top. Other items include the Wave Tiles, installed with wall-mounted antique sconces; the graceful Hand-Tufted Lotus Rug; the lime Tt & Viv triangle ottoman; and the oval Otto High Table, which boasts a walnut burl inset top and cream lacquer reveal.
