Introducing “Interwoven: Everything Touches Everything Else,” our latest exhibition at Dernier Cri. This show considers the ways in which all things are connected. Threads—both literal and conceptual—run throughout, binding disparate forms into a cohesive whole. At a moment when our relationship to the natural world feels increasingly fragile, these works offer a reflection on interdependence, on the systems that sustain us and the delicate balance that connects all living things. On view are wall sculptures by @vanessabarragao_work , composed of recycled wool and recycled synthetic fibers; sculpture by @windychien from her Crowns series, in which knotted, ribbon-like cordage forms a crisp, squared column that can be hand-manipulated to shift and settle into evocative shapes; wall sculpture by @benjaminkapoorstudio that traces a continuum of material states, where metal, sand and painted surfaces register conditions of deformation; works from @jonsara ’s Furniture Renovations series, where iconic designs are deconstructed and reimagined with homage to their original makers; assemblages by @jaysylvesterart , woven from bittersweet, honeysuckle, and wisteria vines with bamboo and found materials; and wall sculptures by @suzannetick , including pieces from her Mylar Balloons and Woven Wire Hangers series. Show here: @vanessabarragao_work ’s ÍSIS I and @marius_ritiu ’s Hot Seat from Space (L) and Platypus (R). Interwoven is open now through June 12th.

The Enduring Vision of Jamie Drake Some careers are built… others are destined. In this extraordinary episode of Beyond the Design, host Cray Bauxmont-Flynn - @cray.bflynn welcomes legendary designer Jamie Drake, whose remarkable journey from early inspiration to industry icon has helped define the language of luxury interior design for decades. Jamie’s story begins in New Haven, where the architectural brilliance of Louis Kahn’s Yale Art Museum first ignited his fascination with space, material, and form. That early spark evolved into a lifelong pursuit of design excellence—shaped by a Bauhaus-influenced education at Parsons School of Design, where he learned to view the built environment holistically, blending architecture, interiors, and visual composition into a unified vision. His career-defining moment came with the design of a New York City townhouse for Mike Bloomberg—an extraordinary project that introduced him to the world of fine antiques and ultimately led to his first national recognition. The response was immediate and undeniable, signaling the arrival of a designer whose talent would leave a lasting mark on the industry. Today, as a member of the AD100 Hall of Fame and recipient of the Interior Design Hall of Fame, Jamie’s work continues to inspire with its bold use of color, refined layering, and fearless creativity. Yet, what makes his story so compelling is his humility and passion—still feeling that sense of awe and excitement with every project and recognition. In this captivating conversation with Cray, Jamie reflects on his journey, his creative evolution, and the principles that continue to guide his work—offering a rare glimpse into the mind of a true design visionary. 🎧 Listen now 🔗 Discover more: - @designerjamiedrake #BeyondTheDesign #JamieDrake #LuxuryInteriorDesign #AD100 #DesignLegend

McGraw PR is pleased to announce our representation of @ashleytstark and the @ashleystarkhome brand. Ashley is the Creative Director of STARK and the stylish namesake behind Ashley Stark Home. At an early age, she fell in love with the legendary carpet and textile company founded by her grandparents, setting her on a path immersed in design—one that honed her eye, sharpened her sense of quality, and shaped her inimitable style. Raised in New York City, Ashley has always felt that design is in her blood, and Ashley Stark Home is the natural evolution of her singular experience and her family’s venerable heritage brand. In creating Ashley Stark Home, Ashley began with her first love: rugs. Drawing on her irreverent design sensibility and deep knowledge of craftsmanship, she created a versatile, works-anywhere collection that is as distinctive as she is. Skillfully juxtaposing unexpected touches with classic elements, the line feels at home in any setting, from a chic coastal retreat to an urban aerie or mountain escape. New product introductions and exciting collaborations are on the horizon for 2026. Stay tuned. Photo @brittanyambridge

A modern Dallas home, composed with a collector’s eye. Recently featured in Patron, this residence by Ten Plus Three unfolds as a quiet stage for an exceptional collection—works by Roy Lichtenstein, Marc Chagall, Eddie Martinez, Shara Hughes, Hayal Pozanti, and Antone Könst. The result is a seamless dialogue between art and interior—where bold compositions are balanced by an atmosphere of calm restraint. #mcgrawpr 1. Roy Lichtenstein’s Green Face, 1989, hangs beside the entrance. 2. Marc Chagall, L’Arbre vert aux Amoureux, 1980, is installed above the fireplace 3.
