Last night at the GRANGE event, I met a delightful and talented artisan by the name of Sylvie Guieysse.  She designs everything from pillows to table runners to tapestries – all entirely designed and handmade in her New York workshop.  Her pillows are part of Susan Slotkis’ (one of four designers selected to design a winter-wonderland) elegant vignette in the GRANGE showroom, which will be on display until February. As excited as I was to meet her, I was equally happy to learn that she is hosting an Open Studios + Holiday Sale next week in her new studio in DUMBO (Brooklyn).  I always love an opportunity to buy beautiful handmade pieces and wanted to make sure to spread the good word to all of our loyal Design-Calendar readers.

Here’s all the details:
