do you karkula?



thank you john erik - for your namesake store karkula!

back in the days, before this design haven moved (further) downtown, we were familiar with this lovely meatpacking district shop under the name of breukelen. rugs, sofas and textiles, fantastic paintings, and all that glitters artfully displayed for designers and consumers alike.

personalized service in an intimate setting ... john erik does not give the hard sell, instead preferring to let your fingers do the walking. and everything is tactile and comforting, easy to imagine in your own pad. we are particularly partial to the myriad of works produced by paola lenti - gorgeous.

take a walk down to walker and visit the new karkula in tribeca!

Thank you Harley for your lovely comments on my showroom. Yes, I started with Breukelen in 1996 on a quite stretch of Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and it immediately became a success when everyone was saying "no way!". I now have the pleasure of working with many many talented designers from Paola Lenti to Bill Katavolos (a little know architect designer from the 1950's). We are very happy in our new space in Tribeca (with our great new landlord and our long lease) and look forward to turning on discerning folk like yourself to more design goodness for another decade. See you soon.
