If you’re looking for a brief escape, make a visit to the Lawton Mull showroom in Long Island City to view their new show, Ordinary Splendor, now through June 25th. In collaboration with antique Japanese textile dealer, Sri, a carefully curated oasis of art and beauty awaits. Exquisite indigo dyed boro–or patched and mended–fabrics marry seamlessly with the ceramic vessels of Nobue Ibaraki. Scandinavian furniture sits in tandem with pieces created by Lawton Mull and from their collection. A sublime joining and “celebration of the hand-made, the scrap-made, the repaired and revered items that elevate daily life to everyday art in Japan and Scandanavia.” –Lawton Mull
