Local lighting, furniture and fabric debuts make their mark

GREEK CHIC Founder Sophia Phoutrides tapped into her own Hellenic heritage to create Gaida Guild, a fabric studio based between Washington, DC, and Thessaloniki, Greece. Lively patterns, including delicate florals such as Cypria and Tokat (shown at left in different colorways), draw inspiration from historical textiles, Grecian motifs and folk art. All fabrics are hand-printed in France at a family-owned mill. gaidaguild.com


MIAMI HEAT There’s a new furniture showroom bringing a dose of Latin American flair to Cady’s Alley. Headquartered in South Florida’s style capital, Adriana Hoyos is opening its first DC outpost in October, featuring an array of customizable luxury pieces. The 5,000-square-foot space will showcase iconic designs such as the Rumba swivel chair and the Origen Buffet (left), which blends hardwood, exotic leather and a stone top. adrianahoyos.com


LIGHTING THE WAY Annapolis-based architecture firm Kimmel Studio has launched two inaugural lighting collections featuring nine distinct pieces under Kimmel Crafted, their new line of bespoke fixtures and furnishings. The Tidesmith Collection (Batten, far left) is a fresh and modern interpretation of maritime lanterns in solid brass and thick glass; Crestforge (Davy, left) draws on the tools of mountaineering and mining to introduce refined, yet industrial forms. kimmelcrafted.com


FRESH VISION Sherrill Furniture has teamed up with the DMV’s own DuVäl Reynolds for House of DuVäl. With a design ethos rooted in the concept of New American Heritage, the furnishings, such as the Amari accent table (left), are defined by an air of timelessness and understated sophistication. The tailored lines and tactile textures of menswear inform the collection, which blends classic silhouettes with modern attitude. houseofduval.com
