“My designs make a nod to the past, yet always look to the future,” says designer, TV host, and author Joe Ruggiero. That’s evident in the pieces in this sale: each has an evocative, relatable quality, while possessing a subtle new twist — and all are made in the U.S. Examples: the Bergen chair (“It was inspired by Jean Harlow’s room in the ‘30s, but I cleaned it up and simplified it,” says Ruggiero), or the Classico cocktail table (“I love Italian architecture, so the legs recall Doric columns"). We also love the award-winning pie-cut table, which allows you never to be too far from your glass of vino. And everything’s easy to care for; all upholstered pieces are done in Sunbrella fabric.
