SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION 74 EYE ON DESIGN CLOSET COUTURE I f Carrie Bradshaw had only been acquainted with Ornare, we're sure hers would have been the closet of dreams. Brazil-based Ornare, which specializes in sophisticated and customizable closets, kitchens, and bathrooms, has been a Design District staple since opening six years ago. It caused a stir recently when the showroom underwent a renovation in order to house the sleek Wide Line collection, designed by Ricardo Bello Dias. Consider this the Rolls-Royce of walk-in closets (hanging rods wrapped in leather), with more than 50 custom finish options, including natural-wood veneer, leather, glass, metal, and matte or gloss paints. For housing collections of accessories, there are options for square or rounded LED-lit shelves, and pullout shoe racks and drawers. Ornare, 1617 Hi Line Dr. #190A, 214.377.1212, ornare.com. PAPERCITY TAKES A LOOK AT WHAT'S NEW IN THE DALLAS DESIGN DISTRICT, FROM SWOON-WORTHY CLOSETS TO A MUST-SHOP SPOT FOR CHIC TOTS. W hen Dondolo founder Catalina Gonzalez selected the Dallas Design District for her flagship bou- tique, we knew she was on to something. Indeed, since opening the shop barely a year ago, it has become a go-to stop on the design circuit for style- savvy parents in search of chic clothes for their little ones. The heirloom-quality collections, crafted from European and Colombian fabrics, have a social conscious- ness bent. Dondolo employs mothers in Colombia to work on hand-embroidery and hand-smocking, with a portion of sales going to provide children in Colombia with much-needed clothing.
