In mid-March I had a fabulous visit to the Thornwillow Press in Newburgh, New York. This incredible facility, owned by Luke Pontifell and his lovely Swiss wife, Savine, is tucked away on a side street in several non descript brick buildings. However, once inside the door (a little hard to find), one is immediately confronted with an extraordinary array of printing equipment most of which is more than 50 years old and none of it digital.
Fresh and summery light colors with the addition of a cotton rug to give this a cool look.

Who doesn’t dream of a house at the beach? One immediately thinks of cool breezes, warm sand, fresh color, casual living, and relaxing on the shore under an umbrella — and finally, a delicious warm bath before dinner. Sounds divine to me.

I remember the first time we used dark grout as a design statement at Waterworks. Peter Sallick thought the columns in our 58th Street showroom should look like old New York, referencing the subways as an example. We loved the look; it emphasized the grid and gave the space dimension. It made the columns, which could easily have been a disaster, more integrated in to our design process as well as a focal part of the architecture.

The recent renovation of our Washington, DC showroom has given us multiple opportunities to think about the bath in new and sometimes bold ways. From using patterned cement tiles on the walls to the installation of decorative water jet-cut mosaics and highly varied 2cm mosaics, we like to inspire our clients to use materials, fittings and fixtures for their own projects in new and different ways.
