Pottery Barn Heirloom Frames
Hi, I'm Monica Rich Kosann, I'm a photographer and a designer
I like to think of myself
as being in the memory business I capture people's memories and document their lives
and I like to work with them and teach them how to display their memories
when you walk into a pottery barn you know that their philosophy is all about surrounding
yourself
with the things that you adore and cherish
and it's all about making memories for your family and for your friends
and my philosophy for my collection is very similar to that
and that's why I'm so excited to be creating this airline collection for pottery barn
because it's all about living with the things that we love
in the early nineteen hundreds there was a great artistic accessory
luxurious accessories going on in the world and those were the
cigarette cases and the powder compacts and jewelry and they were all very personal and every piece
that
anybody owned
was for you it was a piece of art
and what I would do is I would actually take the old powder out and I would cut
the photographs out and put them into
the powder compacts
and then I was give them to my clients as gifts and what I loved about them is that
these were heirlooms
in an heirloom
and that's kind of how it started because it was just a beautiful way to keep a memory
to hold
a friend or a family member close and dear to you
and that's the inspiration for the heirloom collection and what's great is that they sit
beautifully with
all different types of
collectibles. They sit beautifully with candles they sit beautifully grouped together on a tray
they sit beautifully
in a bedroom they sit beautifully on a desk and friends and family are so important and
you know we all worked so hard in
and this is such a fast world we live in and I feel by sitting down
and by feeling nostalgic and looking
at a group of photos and heirloom pieces this is a way to ground you and make you connect
to your family and your background and your culture
if you buy some of the pieces from the heirloom collection, you take them home
and you put your family photos in them they become a cherished piece for your family they
become an heirloom for you
and I it's just great it's like the pieces of the past
and something that you can keep in your family forever
