Ulla Johnson sets her sights uptown with a dreamy new boutique
"When Jane Keltner de Valle, then an editor at Architectural Digest, visited Ulla Johnson's Brooklyn home in 2019, she wrote that the brownstone reflected the American fashion designer's 'love of textiles and craftsmanship' and 'easy, effortless, sophisticated take on bohemian style'."
"'Having grown up just a few blocks away, it felt like a homecoming of sorts,' Johnson tells Wallpaper*. 'Each store is unique, and I hope, reflective of its environment, but I try to maintain a deeply personal sensibility throughout all our spaces.'"
"In West Hollywood, Kelly Wearstler created a sunlit space imbued with California cool (not to mention cacti), while in downtown Manhattan, architect Elizabeth Roberts even polished the copper storefront and left it to oxidise for precisely 24 hours to achieve the just-so patina."
Jane Keltner de Valle visited Ulla Johnson's Brooklyn home in 2019 and observed the brownstone's love of textiles and craftsmanship and an easy, effortless, sophisticated bohemian style. Jane later left magazines to partner with her husband, designer Giancarlo Valle, and together as Valle de Valle they designed a new Ulla Johnson boutique on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The store is Johnson's fourth in the US and follows notable interiors in West Hollywood and downtown Manhattan. The Madison Avenue location draws inspiration from Central Park, the Frick Collection, a nearby Ralph Lauren mansion and designer Lorenzo Mongiardino, aiming for a more grown-up, personal sensibility.
