Tse & Tse Associees

Catherine Lévy and Sigolène Prébois met shortly before beginning their studies at L’école Nationale Supérieure de la Création Industrielle in Paris. Shortly after, they created Tsé & Tsé Associées with one simple design goal in mind - to create things they loved. The simplicity of this approach allowed them the creative freedom to produce incredibly unique (and invariably beautiful) pieces, the success of which were at first doubted my many - but successful they are. From irregular porcelain dinnerware to gold & platinum adorned bowls to quirky lighting fixtures, these two design gurus have taken their passion, love and unique point-of-view and allowed it to manifest in objects that the rest of us can now use to adorn our homes.
All of Tsé & Tsé's designs make for wonderful gifts and with the Holidays rapidly approaching we suggest you get your soon! (quantities are limited to stock on-hand).

Fog Linen Work - New!

Yumiko Sekine started her first business in 1993 importing used books and house ware from Europe and America to Japan. As Yumiko settled into a new home she quickly discovered how hard it was to find affordable, every day linens like the one's she had used during her childhood. Determined to stock her house with the same type of linens that she had fallen in love with many years before, Yumiko started designing and producing her own product. Her linens were so popular that she quickly realized the commercial viability of her product and quickly launched Fog Linen Work. To this day, Yumiko is still inspired to create simple, beautiful products for daily use. HORNE is happy to be able to bring to our customers an extensive offering of Yumiko's work. Above and below you will find a few new pieces that just arrived in the shop - enjoy!

HORNE's Late Summer Holiday

The HORNE Team was recently in Italy and France for our Late Summer Holiday. We took some time for much needed rest and relaxation but we couldn't resist doing some buying for HORNE. Our trip consisted of a week long stay in the countryside of Northern Italy and then a week in Paris. Our resident photographer took many images, however, being the analog lover she is, they are all either Polaroids or film!
The film is due back from processing soon but in the meantime we wanted to share some Polaroids taken during the trip.
Hope you're enjoying the fall weather!
