FABULOUSNESS UNDERFOOT
Fine rugs purveyor Moattar, Ltd. recently introduced its Moderno collection. Developed with contemporary upholstery resource Nicolleti Calia, this group of dynamic solids and graphic patterns is a departure from Moattar’s more traditional inventory. After debuting to much success at last season’s High Point market, the collection—comprising hand-tufted wool patterns and hand-loomed wool and silk solids—has been expanded to include even more colorways and patterns. But perhaps Moderno’s most appealing draw is its affordable price point. 351 Peachtree Hills. Ave, Suite 314, Atlanta 30305. (404) 237-5100; moattar.com
MODERN EXCLUSIVE
In a match made in modern heaven, famed Italian housewares innovator Alessi gets a permanent home in the Atlanta market with the debut of its shop-in-a-shop within Midtown’s SWITCHMODERN  showroom. The dedicated retail space features a stylish assortment of Alessi products for the home, table, kitchen and office. And for those pining for an Alessi product not stocked in the city’s exclusive pop-up shop, worry not. switchmodern’s proprietors, Roy Otwell and Doug Henderson, can secure just about any Alessi kettle, corkscrew and even bookmark. 1193 Howell Mill Rd. NW, Atlanta 30318. (404) 605-0196; switchmodern.com

 

Over the past several years, World of Rugs & Furniture has evolved into a full-scale lifestyle outpost. Given the addition of furniture, accessories, wall décor, gifts and an in-store design service center, the store has fittingly been renamed The Foundry to celebrate its growth though the on-site flooring gallery will keep the original World of Rugs moniker. Another notable update includes the addition of 25,000 square feet to its in-store warehouse that houses furnishings ranging from Lexington to the more upscale Caracole and Lauren by Ralph Lauren lines. 1530 Ellsworth Industrial Dr., Atlanta 30318.

METRO SHOPPING Specialty furniture retailer I.O. Metro makes its mark on Georgia’s design scene with openings in Snellville, Cumming and Marietta.
