Textiles have the privilege of being close to the skin. They should be
choice and uncompromisingly pleasing, or why bother. The Teixidors
collection embodies this principle so completely that every piece is
handwoven on a wooden loom in Terrassa, outside of Barcelona. It's
a clean look, reminding the world that simulated purity is not nearly as
stunning as raw materials imbued with true emotion. When crafted in
a manual workshop with artists dedicated to producing their individual
imprints in fiber, quality is the natural side effect. Beauty in linen, silk,
cashmere and merino wool—the real thing always looks and feels better.

It was an epic winter. New Yorkers experienced a hazing ritual
Chicagoans know fondly: the inconceivable soreness of the
thoracic vertebrae following hours of shoveling. And now they
feel invincible, weatherproof and ready to rumble. Armor for
spring is more mental than physical; it is a season that rarely
shows up. When it does, Hering-Berlin has the most glamorous
accompaniment: the Noble picnic trunk. Living out the fashion-spread fantasy of an afternoon picnic is serious folly best left
to a handcrafted walnut creation, detailed in ostrich and calf
leather that can be customized to one's wishes. A special piece,
for which the German porcelain house summoned avant-garde
dining tempered with a measure of practicality: the trunk holds
interiors
plates, bowls, cutlery and stemware for four…depending on
one's willingness to share. To the trade, Julia Watts 212 582 1182
