Analisse Taft-Gersten
Analisse Taft-Gersten’s ALT for Living New York and Los Angeles showrooms are the go-to resources among top interior designers looking for the subtly luxurious, such as Shawn Henderson, Robert Couturier, and Drew McGukin. Taft-Gersten pushes the envelope by stocking over 20 of her own fabrics, and she brings to the forefront fresh brands like artisanal rug company Shiir by Chicago design firm Soucie Horner, Rule of Three wallpapers, and Laine + Alliage textiles. Plus, her on-site New York café, A Little Taste, offers cappuccinos brewed with her very own signature roast.
Color story: “I have a particular palette that I believe in and our clients follow us for. I look for things that have an undertone of earth, texture, grit, and maybe a little bit of dirt.”
