Design Hunting - At Home With a Couple of 'Art Hoarders'

L.A.–based Joe Lucas and his partner, David Heika, decided that they’d had enough of hotel rooms and camping out in friend’s apartments during business trips to New York. Their cozy rental in the West Village, which they have used as a pied-à-terre ever since Lucas opened a branch of his L.A. showroom at the New York Design Center, features “a mix of things found in France or on our travels mixed with random, crappy cheap stuff we find in flea markets.”

Also on Curbed: Justin Davidson asks how the city might think about memorializing the pandemic. We published proposals by Deborah Berke, Paul Chan, David Rockwell, Michael Arad, David Lang, MODU, and Daniel Libeskind.

Best,
Wendy Goodman
