S cot Meacham Wood's affection for tartans and plaids started with his Scottish grandfather a n d c o n t i n u e d a t Ralph Lauren, where he worked for 13 years. The newly transplanted-to- New York–interior designer (he lived in San Francisco for 26 years) now brings his home collection, SMW Home, which includes check wallcoverings printed on English OF TARTANS AND TOILE D esigner Christophe Delcourt takes a sartorial approach to the details of his furniture — he is French after all, working in a country where couturiers are prized. He's also a master of materials. Self-taught, Delcourt learned to create furniture by working closely with artisans in France such as blacksmiths and cabinetmakers. Even the Italians took note: Minotti tapped him to design furniture in 2016, and he soon went out on his own with a collection that made a splash in Milan when it debuted in 2019, praised for its sculptural qualities and seductive juxtaposing of materials. Since then, he's added a number of pieces to the line: tables, desks, and case goods in brushed oak, enameled lava stone, patinated bronze, and brightly colored lacquer; leather and ceramic seating; lighting in oak and lacquered steel; and textiles. Delcourt and his team of in-house designers make furniture the centuries-old way, first conceiving and hand-drawing at their atelier in France, then sending the designs to be produced to a network of top cabinetmakers, ceramists, brass casting experts, upholsterers, and stone masons. The collection is available for the first time in Texas at David Sutherland Showroom. To the trade at David Sutherland S h o w r o o m , D a l l a s Design Center, 1025 N.
