The key to scoring great vintage pieces is to check multiple sources. "We use auctions frequently—for this project, we ended up buying a great number of pieces and shipping a container over by boat!" says Keren. She suggests supporting local vendors as well as sourcing online through sites like Chairish, Etsy, eBay, Pamono, and 1stDibs, as well as more obscure auction sites, Instagram accounts, and online classifieds.

A framed John Baldessari poster brings the perfectly styled vignette together.
