Stylish Set

A LEADER IN LEATHER
Already a go-to choice for an exceptional roster of international design talents, Moore & Giles is developing quite a following with Atlanta stylemakers, who are applying its superb quality leathers to a number of chic design projects. Acclaimed style blogger Jennifer Boles, a.k.a. the Peak of Chic, recently installed the Vienna Ocean Blue leather in a nailhead design on an interior door of her Buckhead condominium. Similarly, Raymond Goins used the company’s luxurious Kipling Canary Yellow for a tufted door in the 2010 Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators’ Show House. The Lynchburg, Virginia-based company, which was launched in 1933, still operates without a physical showroom, so all trade inquires and orders must be placed directly through a Moore & Giles rep. But the company’s glamorous new line of leather pillows—available in small, medium and Euro—can be purchased directly through the site. $175-$480 each. (434) 846-5281; mooreandgilesinc.com

FOR ART’S SAKE
Gallerist Alessandra Carter—whose gallery, Astolfi Art, celebrates its one-year anniversary at White Provisions in November—boasts an impressive history in the Atlanta art scene, having previously owned galleries on Miami Circle and East Paces Ferry for nearly a decade. Her new space, located just steps away from many of the best restaurants and shopping spots in the city, is perhaps most notably Atlanta’s primary source of paintings by Todd Murphy. Yet, Carter continues to build upon this strong foundation with many other noteworthy contemporary talents, from John Folsom and Tony Hernandez to Kevin Archer and Sandra Milton. 1170 Howell Mill Rd., Suite P-16, Atlanta 30318.

LAMPS WE LOVE
Local tastemaker Rob Kennedy—vigilant theater advocate and one-time manager of Belvedere—launched his signature lamp line, Coalition Society, to much fanfare in 2007. Now, with Coalition Society 2, he offers limited-edition, customizable wood-turned lamps in bubinga, oak, maple and more that serve as striking, lower-priced alternatives to his previous couture line. (404) 875-7570; coalitionsociety.com. Atlanta interior designer Suzanne Kasler also debuted an exciting new lighting line this spring in collaboration with Circa Lighting; elegant designs that have already garnered a tremendous fan base due to their dashing good looks. Case in point: the Thornton table lamp, with its architectural tripod construction and modified drum shade, looks equally fantastic atop a desk or side table in either of the available polished nickel or antique brass finishes. $420-473. Available through Circa Lighting, 22-B East Andrews Dr. NW, Atlanta 30305. (404)233-4131; circalighting.com
