We love New York designer Steven Alan's effortless, urbane shirts (and his Knox-Henderson store isn't too shabby either). So we're happy to report his new collaboration with West Elm is nothing short of fabulous.
The 22-piece artisan-centric collection features duvets, vases and rugs, not to mention two handmade, papier-mâché side tables ($299) that perfectly bridge timeworn and contemporary furniture-making traditions. West Elm sent Alan to India, Nicaragua and Haiti to gather insight for the collection, about which Alan says: "I wanted the collection to feel organic and modern at the same time, so I combined a color palette of earth tones with a clean design."
Well done, sir.
