In Their Permanent Collection

Heta Fell

Heta Fell

This week we wanted to amplify the voice of someone doing some concrete good in the world. We turned to our friend, the London-based cultural changemaker, Heta Fell, to speak to her about her work and—as this series would dictate—her most treasured belonging. Most recently, Heta organized 'New World New Rules,' a fundraising initiative to benefit Plan International's Coronavirus Appeal, which supports at-risk children, especially girls, around the world. 'New World, New Rules' runs through June 14—check it out, buy an artist print, and support this urgent cause.

Emma Lipp

Emma Lipp

This week we spoke with our friend, Emma Lipp, the chef and owner of Valley, a brand new Sonoma restaurant and wine bar. Since we just made 'Acqua e Vino' singles available online—Italian glassware intended for red, white and sparkling wines—we thought there'd be no better person to catch up with than Emma, someone whose taste in wine (and food!) we trust implicitly. We asked Emma what personal possession she would place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection.'

Ally Walsh & Casey Wojtalewicz

Ally Walsh & Casey Wojtalewicz

For our first ever couple's feature, we reached out to Ally Walsh and Casey Wojtalewicz, the partners-in-life-and-coffee behind cult Los Angeles roastery, Canyon Coffee. We felt that Valentine's Day gave us the perfect excuse to see what personal object this dream duo would chose to place in their so-called 'Permanent Collection.'

Sloane Crosley

Sloane Crosley

For this week's 'In Her Permanent Collection' feature we caught up with Sloane Crosley, one of the most consistently charming and funny people we know, and incidentally also the bestselling author of I Was Told There’d Be Cake (a 2009 finalist for The Thurber Prize for American Humor) and the recent essay collection, Look Alive Out There. We asked her to name the one thing she most identifies with her personal 'Permanent Collection'.

Lazuli Whitt

Lazuli Whitt

This week we caught up with Lazuli Whitt, the antique jewelry collector behind Monk Estate. We asked her to name the one thing she most associates with her personal 'Permanent Collection.'

Shinichiro Nakahara

Eileen Mockus

Eileen Mockus

This week we're especially thrilled to be speaking with Eileen Mockus, the CEO of organic bedding company Coyuchi because her team will be joining us for a pop-up at our new store at the Marin Country Mart—opening today! Come shop their gorgeous range, November 7–14!

Nancy Wu

Nancy Wu

For this week's "In Her Permanent Collection" we spoke with Nancy Wu, the designer, and co-founder of Building Block. Given her ability to spot unusual and idiosyncratic details in all things design, we couldn't wait to see what possession she’d selected—we suspected it might be something a touch outside the ordinary.

We're thrilled that Building Block will be joining Permanent Collection for a week-long pop-up at our Marin Country Mart Store, December 6–13. Save the date!

Rhea Fontaine

Rhea Fontaine

This week we spoke with Rhea Fontaine, Partner and Gallery Director of Paulson Fontaine Press in Berkeley, California. Given that Rhea's considerable career has involved so much critical looking at art, and collaborative work with artists to help them execute their visions, we were eager to see what possession she would choose to share with us.

Rosa Park

Rosa Park

This week we spoke with Rosa Park, Editor in Chief of Cereal and Director of Francis Gallery. Because Cereal is known for its refined aesthetic and keen editorial sensibility, we were curious to know what possession Rosa would place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection'.

Leigh Patterson

Leigh Patterson

This week we spoke with Austin, Texas-based creative and editorial director, Leigh Patterson. Leigh is the founder of the creative studio, LUCCA, and is the visionary force behind many of our favorite brands and designers. Leigh also runs an ongoing project called The Moon Lists, which started as an online series but evolved into a book — just launched last month! Given that Leigh is someone who thinks about objects of personal importance as much as we do (a question she asks all interviewees for The Moon Lists is to reflect on an object old and new), we were excited to see what she would select for her own 'permanent collection.'

Sam Bakewell

Sam Bakewell

This week we stopped by for a studio visit with the London-based clay artist, Sam Bakewell. Sam has explored the possibilities of clay since childhood—first encountered in grade school, the medium now sits at the core of his practice as the current ceramics resident at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Given that Sam spends his days in the legendary ceramics collection galleries at the V&A, we couldn't help but wonder if the immersion had perhaps swayed his choice of 'permanent collection' thing...

Alisa Grifo

Alisa Grifo

For this week's 'In Their Permanent Collection' we caught up with Alisa Grifo, co-founder of the cult, ever-changing shop, KIOSK. Alisa and her partner Marco ter Haar Romeny travel the world in search of the everyday, ordinary household items, found and used locally but virtually unknown elsewhere. Always on the go and in search of beautiful things, we couldn't wait to see what Alisa would choose as her permanent thing.

Claire Ptak

Claire Ptak

This week, we caught up with the brilliant cookbook author and superstar pastry chef (not to mention the owner of London's cult bakery Violet), Claire Ptak...one of whose many claims to fame is having been picked by Meghan Markle to craft her infamous wedding cake. We were eager to know what personal possession Claire would place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection'.

Amy Revier

Amy Revier

This week we caught up with weaver, sculptor, and textile artist Amy Revier. This Texas-native's London home—a Deco apartment adjacent to Hampstead Heath—is filled with so many beautiful objects and artful details, we couldn't imagine the pressure of having to choose just one thing for a 'Permanent Collection'...

Kajsa Ståhl

Kajsa Ståhl

For this week's edition of 'In Her Permanent Collection,' we spoke with Kajsa Ståhl, a brilliant graphic designer, and one-quarter of the London-based design collective, Åbäke. We asked her to tell us about the one possession in her 'permanent collection' she treasures most.

Kitty Travers

Kitty Travers

This week we spoke with Kitty Travers, ice cream confectioner and founder of our favorite ice cream shop in London, La Grotta Ices.

Aleishall Girard

Aleishall Girard

For this week's edition of 'In Her Permanent Collection' we got in touch with our friend, the Berkeley-based artist and designer, Aleishall Girard Maxon. Granddaughter of celebrated designer, Alexander Girard—and creator of one of our custom wrapping papers!—Aleishall told us the story of the one thing she most identifies with her so-called 'Permanent Collection'...

Cathy Bailey

Cathy Bailey

We're counting down the days to the second annual Heath Make Good Market (in which Permanent Collection is thrilled to participate for the first time!), so we decided to reach out to Cathy Bailey, co-owner of the iconic Bay Area tableware and tile company, Heath, to see what personal belonging she would place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection.'

Martino Gamper

Martino Gamper

This week, we reached out to our friend and collaborator, Martino Gamper, an internationally-renowned Italian designer based in London. We suspect the set of Acqua e Vino glasses he designed for us might be the 'Permanent Collection object' for many—but we wondered what personal belonging he would nominate for himself.

Simone Bodmer-Turner

Simone Bodmer-Turner

For this week's 'In Her Permanent Collection' series, we reached out to one of our favorite makers, the New York-based ceramic artist, Simone Bodmer-Turner, who's currently in residency at Shiro Oni Studio in Japan. In her work, Simone frequently draws inspiration from ancient objects in the permanent collections of museums like the Metropolitan—we were eager to see what personal possession she would choose to place in her figurative 'Permanent Collection.'

Momoko Mizutani

Momoko Mizutani

This week we spoke with our friend, Momo, owner of the beloved design shop, Momosan, located on a sweet little stretch of East London's Wilton Way. Because we covet just about everything in her store—not to mention admire her innate sense of style—we were curious to know what possession she would place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection'.

Hannah Goldfield

Hannah Goldfield

For this week's 'In Her Permanent Collection' series, we spoke with New Yorker food critic, Hannah Goldfield. We caught up with her—between meals—to learn more about the possession she treasures most.

Christine Nielson

Christine Nielson

This week we sat down with Christine Nielson, the mother of Permanent Collection co-founder, Mariah Nielson, and founder of luxury organic bedding company, Coyuchi. Because all of Permanent Collection's jewelry designs derive from Christine's personal collection of J.B. Blunk creations, we were excited to see what she would choose.

Veronica Ditting

Renee Friedrich

Renee Friedrich

This week, we reached out to Renee Friedrich, owner of the beloved San Francisco shop, Anaïse, and someone we'd trust to decorate our dream home (and dress us head to toe). We were, needless to say, excited to hear what one thing she'd place in her personal 'Permanent Collection'.

Su Wu

Su Wu

This week, we reached out to Su Wu, a curator and writer based in Mexico City and the author or our favorite blog-cum-Instagram feed, @imrevolting. Su, tell us what one thing you would choose to place in your personal 'Permanent Collection'.

Jacqueline West

Jacqueline West

This week, we caught up with acclaimed Hollywood costume designer, Jacqueline West. Described by Brad Pitt as a 'method costumer,' West does deep research to create looks for characters that will convincingly – and atmospherically – situate them in a given historical period. We were eager to see what personal belonging she would choose to place in her so-called 'Permanent Collection'.

Leslie Williamson

Leslie Williamson

Photographer Leslie Williamson travels often to shoot the remarkable interiors and belongings of her subjects. Given that she's been inside the homes and personal collections of some of the greatest artists, designers and tastemakers who've ever lived, we were especially curious to hear which of her possessions would make the cut...

Christina Kim

Christina Kim

This week, we called on Christina Kim, the legendary artist & designer behind cult fashion label, dosa, to nominate an object she would place in her personal 'Permanent Collection'.
