Current Obsessions is our recurring feature where you'll get an inside look into what Alder New York's Chief Creative Officer David Krause and CEO Nina Zilka are currently obsessing over.
1 NZ: I just had an iconic fall day, complete with apple picking in the North Fork and lunch on the water at Sound View, an extremely chic revamped mid-century hotel with modern-nautical vibes. Current zoning laws wouldn’t have allowed the hotel to be built so close to the shore- but as it stands, each room overlooks the Long Island Sound with a private outdoor deck perfect for watching the sunset, glass of wine in hand.
2 NZ: I recently spotted Subu’s quilted slippers at Shoppe Object and my feet fell in love. I think I'm going to end up getting another set so I have a pair for both inside and outside my home.
3 NZ: My sister-in-law gifted us two of these Mociun Spills as a wedding present and nothing gives me more joy than displaying them on our wooden bar cabinet where they scare guests with their seeming precariousness.
4 NZ: I just had my much delayed pandemic wedding and you’d better believe I was gua-shaing every day for the month leading up to it. It’s the best thing I know to get my face looking toned and glowing.
5 NZ: I’m eyeing some cozy season crafting projects, especially this tinsel wreath kit from FatPomPoms. Everything she makes is colorful, sparkly, and uses upcycled materials, and I want to learn her tinsel pom pom secrets for myself.
6 DK: Laura Fischer's cotton and found stone sculptures are just so beautiful and delicate. I love the idea of one of her pieces resting on top of a stack of books just waiting to be picked up.
7 DK: I've been traveling a lot this past month and Alder New York's travel-friendly face masks have been having my skin from aesthetic ruin!
8 DK: Crate & Barrel collaborated with Shinola an0d the results are divine! I especially love all the furniture (especially this chair) which has a modern craftsman vibe that feel refreshing and familiar.
9 DK: Season 3 of What We Do In The Shadows is back and it has kept me laughing all the way through.
10 DK: I have been lusting after everything enamel splatter lately. It's the perfect combo of traditional, practical, modern, and fun.
