"For one, this month marks thirty years-three whole decades-since John opened his first NYC shop. For another, he's got a particular knack for the wonderfully strange and the beautifully eerie. In his trademark decoupaged ephemera-for which he's achieved undeniable cult status in the design world-bones, spiders, crows, and black cats are just as likely to be found as old-fashioned eyeglasses, wine bottles, and playing cards."
"Which Instagram account do you go to for design inspiration? Stephen Kent Johnson What has been your best house upgrade? Toaster A simple or budget-friendly design move you wish you'd known sooner? š¤ My favorite sheets are... Rasa, hand block-printed My favorite paint color for the bedroom is... Mouse's Back My unpopular design opinion is... Lowered ceilings and paneled walls... Your design pet peeve? Bright lights"
John Derian has operated a NYC shop for thirty years and creates decoupaged ephemera featuring bones, spiders, crows, black cats, eyeglasses, wine bottles, and playing cards. He favors comfortable, eclectic, antique interiors and describes his style with those three words. He prefers Rasa hand block-printed sheets and Mouse's Back paint for bedrooms. He gifts tea towels, keeps a stack of books bedside, and cites the Diva soundtrack and 1990s Persuasion as inspirations. He follows Stephen Kent Johnson on Instagram. His go-to kitchen utensil is an antique wooden spoon; his best house upgrade is a toaster. He dislikes bright lights and dislikes lowered ceilings and paneled walls.
