about
Linda and John Meyers are the owners of Wary Meyers Decorative Arts.

A few months ago we went house hunting, and while our Serge Chermayeff-designed modernist dream house in Falmouth is still not for sale, we did find that what we'll likely move into will have sliding glass doors and an open floor plan. Seeing this future of glass walls led us to ask the question, "What are we going to do with all our posters?" 

As we collect things we always envision them in our house somewhere, for instance the 1960's grocery store posters all framed in our giant kitchen, or the Japanese Obi unfurled down the middle our farm table, set with Danish candleholders. But in reality our normal-sized kitchen is already packed with old Le Creuset and graphic design posters, which we like just as much, and the dining room has a Saarinen set, French fabric on the walls and an old chandelier, and we're not quite sure we want to change it just yet, or even when we move.

In other words, we have too much stuff, and not enough space or time to use it, no matter how much we'd love to. (and we've only scratched the surface...)

So why not open a shop?! This will enable us to keep buying things we like while simultaneously making people happy that they can have that vintage Pompidou Center poster, or an old L.L. Bean leather wine carrier to bring to a housewarming party.

We've also been wanting to open a shop to sell our own designs, among them the typographic chess set, Le French Dresser, polystyrene crumpled paper ball lamp shades, our forthcoming sea-aged farm table, along with one-offs and prototypes. While we develop that in the coming months, the shop is open....
