The House of Things- A new exciting store for your home shopping
Wedding Planning - Mar 26, 2015
The House of Things is a new ecommerce site that functions as a curated marketplace for those seeking design objects which are beautiful, rare and inspired. From fine furniture, resplendent paintings to exceptional curios, precious jewels, sculptures, antiquities, rugs, and accessories – each of their objects has remarkable workmanship and soul.
Founded by design and digital experts Astha Khetan and Sabina Chopra, The House of Things values the increasingly rare notion ofindividuality and was created to cultivate an appreciation for these things and facilitate their access. Their curatorial team of experts meticulously puts together a personal selection of poetic objects, sourced from travels across the globe and serendipitous findings.
Apart from a selection of in-house products, the site is collaborative and appoints well known design experts, each of whom acts as a curator, showcasing their own unique selections. With carefully considered content, the site shares stories and anecdotes of particular pieces, recognizing the importance of history and process. Visitors can also opt to engage a Concierge service to help them personalize their shopping experience.
Here’s a sneak peek into their exquisite collection:
