Johnson Hartig x Patterson Flynn: Mystical Rugs J ohnson Hartig, founder of Libertine, is renowned for fearless color and unexpected pattern. A celebration of his earliest esoteric influences, Mise En Place draws from 16th-century French emblem books. Arranged in orderly rows, each emblem is distinct — mythical creatures, celestial symbols, medical illustrations, and Latin inscriptions, including Amo Libertinae, a nod to his label — all rendered in intricate detail. At the Patterson Flynn showroom. Pamela Love: The Infinite Door T arot has shaped jewelry designer Pamela Love's creative perspective since she began reading Tarot cards at age 14. She has long integrated their symbolic structure into her work. The Infinite Door Tarot deck and guidebook formalize that influence into a disciplined, fully realized design project. Developed in close collaboration with artist Krys Maniecki, the 78-card deck balances contemporary visual clarity with fidelity to the system codified by British artist and oculist Pamela Colman Smith. Housed in a textured, debossed box with pull-out tray and grosgrain ribbon, The Infinite Door is positioned as both a working deck and a considered design object. $35, at pamelalove.com. J oining geology and contemporary design, Sten Studio's bespoke collaboration with Penhaligon's iconic Halfeti fragrance is a series of four sculptural stone totems. Rather than illustrating fragrance notes, the studio translates the fragrance architecturally: citrus lift, floral depth, and resinous woods reframed as balance, mass, and vertical tension. Four stacked forms echo perfumery's top, heart, and base, rendered in deeply pigmented stone with contrasting polished and honed finishes, launched at Zona Maco 2026 in Mexico City and at Penhaligon's Regent Street flagship. stenstudio.com.
