Very few people have an eye like Liz O'Brien. Her discerning eye sought out now iconic pieces from the likes of John Dickenson, Billy Haines, Karl Springer, Jansen and Line Vautrin, twenty years ago. This collecting foresight put her way ahead of the curve, and hers is the go-to gallery for the world's best interior designers in search of incredible statement pieces. But she is more than that. Not only is she the author of two noted books on designers Samuel Marks and Billy Haines, she has just debuted a line of stunning furniture called Liz O'Brien Editions. Capturing the essential elements of classic pieces from the past, she has updated them for today with perfect scale and fluid lines. A collection like this makes you realize the purity of great design. At its essence, it's all about form.
This dazzling debut is hot hot hot, so start collecting it now.

The gallery was all aglow for the launch party

I love a low, sexy perch. Very chic.
