Fair Isle Finery

The print designer Shayna Kulik inspects porcelain pieces by Rosenthal and Hutschenreuther at the End of History in the West Village. 

We are often humbled to hear that we are a source of inspiration to the creative community at large. Beyond interior decorators, designers of all disciplines have come to recognize the style lab that is our collection of 20th Century goods. We were recently visited by print expert Shayna Kulik, who likens the patters found on many of our 1960s Bavarian porcelain pieces to the Fair Isle motif... which she singles out as a design trend to watch in an article from today's New York Times Home & Garden section. Fashion for the home...indeed!
