Jewelry Designers Build a Home in Upstate New York By: Grace Bonney

A few weeks ago Julia and I took a trip to High Falls, New York, a small town near the Catskills that was having incredible makers fair called Field + Supply. Created by interior designer Brad Ford, the event was an incredible showcase of just how much talent is living in and around the Hudson Valley area. Max and I both visited on different days and we each came back with long lists of people to contact about home and studio tours. I’m so thrilled to showcase one of those tours today with Jude Rand and Eben Papele, the artist and metalsmith behind Rand Papele jewelry. Inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian symbolism and folk art traditions, Judy and Eben’s work feels like it has one foot in the future and one firmly rooted in the traditions of the past. It’s that new-meets-old feeling that I love in just about everything in my life and these two talented artists have brought that feeling to the 19th century farmhouse in High Falls, New York that they now call home. Former antique and art dealers, Jude and Eben have filled their home with historic weavings, rugs, furniture and all types of intriguing objects, from spiral entry bells to wooden crates. This is the sort of space I want to wander in for hours and ask questions about every object. So I’ll let Jude and Eben take it from here and introduce us to the beautiful things they surround themselves with at home and at work. xo, grace
