Past: Trame — 'Seminara Mask' Installation
The first US installation of work by Paris-based design studio Trame. Developed by select artists in collaboration with artisans from Calabria, Italy, Trame’s capsule collection of handcrafted Seminara masks are ostentatious and grotesque, with deliberately frightening features to scare away all malevolent beings and forces in order to protect the home. The masks are finished in enormous wood fired kilns, which adds an uncontrollable twist to the features and colors rendered by the artisan’s hands — the final touch in their fierce and imperfect beauty.

Past: Holiday Shop
Kalon’s holiday shop puts its focus on the women of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. Refugees, educators, poets, potters, painters and performers, these women found a way to make space for themselves within institutions and movements where women’s voices were (and still are) largely absent. The collections we have on display are an ode to the enduring inspiration of these women and the power of the work they created. This special offering of giftable items includes our newly released wooden Tableware inspired by work done by Mim Sihvonen, handprinted table and bed linens inspired by the women of the Bauhaus by Studio Ford, and beautiful handcrafted bronze accessories for the table by Ramsey Conder.
In store shopping through December 23rd.

Past: Kalon x Reath - Special Collection
Installation of the Kalon x Reath collaboration.
Released in 2020, the Rugosa Collection is the synthesis of a many years’ conversation exploring the evolving function and spirit of the living room. Inspired by the Narragansett home from which the collection takes its name, Rugosa was designed to invite comfort — both communal and solitary. Two years later, the collaboration with fellow LA-based design studio, Reath Design, looked to this original seed of inspiration to present a brand new limited release of custom upholstery for the Rugosa Sofa, Rugosa Daybed, and Rugosa Chair.

Past: Bough Collection - New Work
A celebration of the Bough Collection, including a debut of new designs.
The Bough Collection was first released in May 2018 during New York Design Week after two years of development. A celebration of America’s longstanding, but increasingly rare furniture craft industries, the pieces required a level of precision not commonly found in woodworking. Complex joinery used throughout the collection was developed by Kalon using the most advanced manufacturing methods available. More…

Past: Laure Joliet — 'Invitations' Installation
The first fine art show of LA-based photographer Laure Joliet. One of the most widely published interior photographers working today, Joliet has captured a plethora of aspirational homes and styled scenes. Elsewhere, in moments stolen, Joliet turns her lens on earthly and domestic observations and found vignettes marked by a striking intimacy. Invitations is curated across nearly a decade of unpublished archive material and exhibited within the Kalon showroom. More…

Past: Korean Bojagi Workshop with Nossi Bojagi
The Korean textile technique of Bojagi has played an important role in Korean culture for centuries. Utilizing square pieces of cloth skillfully constructed from a variety of fabrics, these beautifully functional items were a means of self-expression as well as an integral part of everyday life. Today, Bojagi is a thoughtful way to lessen our environmental impact during a season of gifting.
Guided by Ellen of Nossi Bojagi, attendees will pick from a special edit of environmentally-conscious fabrics and learn 5 different wrapping and knot applications, with the option to bring personal items or gifts to wrap. A special offering of Korean teas by Kioh Tea will be available.
