CGH Inspired: Show Some Skin!

Written by Clayton Gray Home

We couldn’t help noticing Sara Ruffin Costello’s article this past weekend in the Wall Street Journal. We have loved Sara ever since the Domino days and continue following all of her great design work and trend spotting!

In this particular article, she shares her love of leather and how this indestructible upholstery can withstand many spills and only gets more beautiful with time. Paying homage to icons such as Albert Hadley, Miles Redd, and Kelly Wearstler, Sara notes several notable designs which we had to search out. Here is what we found…
