Emily Evans Eerdmans founder of the Eerdmans, a design historian and author of a long line of interior design books discovered Kate’s work in 2023. She said, “When I first saw Kate’s work, I was immediately smitten – they are heirloom pieces that are made beautifully, and they make you smile with their wit. Our holiday bazaar, which champions the maker, is curated to offer one-of-a-kind gifts for the aesthete. It is now in its eighth year and much anticipated by our loyal client base. Clients known they will find pieces they can’t find anywhere and love discovering them in an inspirating setting that is also an enjoyable, fun, and social way to shop. We are delighted to present Kate’s work here in New York for the first time.”
