The intertwined trends of home fashion lent their voices in harmony.

at the 2019 AD show in NYC on Pier 94. The soothing notes of green echoed loud and clear as I walked the aisles of this years’ show. Each aisle showcased the world’s leading home and design brands from Bosch, Compass Security, Gaggenau, Graff, and JennAir, to the best of show winner, Opiary.  The green notes of the flora and fauna were amplified by fiber and texture tones.  Matte black and gold, soft textures, and flat grays added a counterpoint of sophistication.

There was an overall sense of subtle refinement. The textures and shapes were silky, organic, visually clean, and classic.  This theme was pervasive and was expressed in the walls, sculptural elements, cabinetry, tables, and counter surfaces.  An outstanding example was the metal sculpture tree from Compass Iron Works, which captured the essence of nature in the inanimate.

In summary, the show was all about nature delicately embodied indoors.

Shiny, ornate and bright are trends of yesterday.   Welcome to the new age of balance, composure, and elegance in the home and living.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
