If you are in need of escape, L. Becker Flowers on East 83rd St. is just the place. The dappled ‘Swedish Light’ as Mr. Becker appropriately calls it, filters into the narrow space and lights on collected treasures of the exquisite.

They’re up to it again. Lewis Miller Design recently made a few redecorating changes to their East Village Studio and the results are sublime.
