Haute Living Opens Up Shop in Chelsea

Founded by Jeffrey Smith in Chicago in 2007, Haute Living has just opened up shop in Chelsea. A prominent dealer of modern and contemporary furniture, the 7,000-square-foot showroom retails brands from all over the globe, from Sweden’s Massproductions to New Zealand’s Resident. “We’re always on the lookout for the next best thing,” Smith says. One can find Matiére Grise’s faceted Ankara dining table, Baxter’s retro Googie modular sconces, La Manufacture’s Champignon ottoman, and Tacchini’s Sesann sofa, a reissue of a 1970’s design by Gianfranco Frattini. There are also pieces exclusive to Haute, including the mid century–inspired Bukowski chair by Brooklyn’s Steven Bukowski for New Works.
