Global Home

The influence of cyberspace has effectively downsized the globe, so it’s not surprising to notice decorative textiles, lighting and other useful objects fashioned from indigenous materials by native artisans in remote locales. This array of accents combines ancient craftsmanship with modern aesthetic, and incorporates exotic materials, fabrics, colors and patterns. Elements of the global home are as easy to find in New Orleans as using the worldwide web.
