Premiering a collection grounded in the philosophy of connection between the human spirit and the built environment, The Sanctuary Collection by Lisa Kahn for Chelsea House will debut at the High Point Market in October. Festivities supporting the launch will include a party on Sunday, October 15, from 4 pm - 7 pm and a seminar on the importance of built environments and sanctuary in design.
The initial collection will have more than 30 pieces including furniture, mirrors, lighting, and decorative accessories. The introductions are influenced by sacred geometry, celestial bodies, and motifs from nature.
Lisa Kahn is the founder and CEO of Lisa Kahn Designs, a premier award-winning design firm based in Naples and serving clients nationwide. Kahn is also the founder of Finding Sanctuary by Lisa Kahn, created to focus on spaces that nurture people emotionally and allow them to feel a sense of well-being, tranquility, and joy. In addition to grounding her design projects in this philosophy, Finding Sanctuary hosts retreats, seminars, and conversations as well as marketing a line of home accessories and journals.
"I believe our surroundings have a profound effect on our lives and daily experiences," said Kahn. "Thoughtfully created environments affect our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. In fact, it can affect all areas of living including health, quality of relationships, and how time is spent. Inside a sanctuary, we find a private, sacred space that belongs to us alone. It’s the place where we can be still, be creative, and be our true selves while exploring the world around us, while exploring the world inside us. That’s what this collection is all about.”
"Lisa's collection for us brings together two things that are important for us," explained Pam Cain, President of Chelsea House. "First, it is grounded in a successful history of design — Lisa did a collection for us 12 years ago, which was one of the most successful launches we have ever had. Many of those pieces remain in the line today as among our most popular offerings. Secondly, the collection reinforces our philosophy that design is not only about aesthetics, but more importantly it is a creative pursuit that has a real impact on the quality of lives and relationships. To have this collection bring these two aspects together is a home run and doing it with Lisa made it incredibly special."
