Acme Studio was founded in 1985 by husband-and-wife team Adrian Olabuenaga and Lesley Bailey. The first limited-edition collection was done in collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist and Memphis Group member Peter Shire. Shire's Skyhook brooch is especially kicky: Its two parts connect with a chain.

Built in 1957, this home was saved and dismantled at its original location in Illinois and relocated to its current location in Acme, Pennsylvania—only 30 minutes from the iconic Fallingwater. The Duncan House shares the 100-acre Polymath Park with three other homes for rent, designed by Wright’s apprentices.

The built-in Miele oven has storage above, and the Sub-Zero drawers are far less bulky than a freestanding refrigerator. The Carrara marble countertop and backsplash were custom cut by Brooklyn’s Acme Marble Co.
