Inspired by the chair of the same name, this bookshelf was one of many pieces that found a home in Cite University. It was one of many fruitful collaborations between Prouvé and Perriand from that period.

1. Navajo Germantown Wool Rug, circa 1920s“We’re particularly enamored with Navajo weaving and textiles. We both grew up around them and they carry a great significance for both of us. This piece is very special. It’s made out of Germantown yarn that was introduced in the late 1800s. It was very expensive and only used by skilled weavers -- the Navajo really liked these bright colors, they couldn’t get them from traditional dyes. It’s interesting because this yarn is not traditional- it was introduced by settlers, but it really helped encourage and build a market for Navajo weavers.”

7. Oaxacan "Alebrijes" Carved Wooden Dog, circa 1950s“There’s a famous guy named Manuel Jimenez, a Oaxacan carver, sort of the grandfather that started the trend for the crazy, brightly colored Oaxacan folk art that is popular today. We both collect his work. He used natural materials for his colors and his carvings have unusual details. He has all these identifiers for his work -- a very specific way of putting nails in to attach the arms, a special way of carving the hooves, and he rarely signs his pieces. We really love the subtle details and whimsical quality. We like things with a history.”

An accent wall of Serena & Lily wallpaper and chandelier by Aerin really bring an elegant touch to this home office.

6. Swirled Clay Pot from Mata Ortiz circa 1970s“Mata Ortiz pottery re-emerged in a new generation of artisans in Northern Mexico in the 1970s. Their pottery is an adept example of mixing different colors of clay together to create an intricate marbled effect. It doesn’t have any glazing on it, it’s just sanded down and burnished. We’ve know a few contemporary ceramic artists who have tried to marble clay like that and it’s really difficult to get it to not crack apart, since it’s a whole bunch of different clays mixed together.”
