Choosing Keeping, known for their Japanese Gansai watercolor palettes based on popular color motifs from different decades, has teamed up with John to create an 18-color palette based on a 1912 watercolor study from John's archive by a boy named Sherman Barnes.
It’s peak foraging season; mushrooms in every shape and size have sprouted in our shops. John’s fondness for fungi appears in jigsaw puzzles, matchboxes, ceramic motifs for Astier de Villatte, and tablecloths and napkins for Summerill and Bishop.
Something eerie is in store for Halloween. Black cats and bats say boo on ceramics John designed for Astier de Villatte. His spider-web silk scarf and Happy Hallowe’en jigsaw puzzle are treats worth sampling. Ino Schaller, a family-owned business since 1894, has been creating holiday-themed objects in Germany; devils, pumpkins, and glittery mushrooms are a few of the designs on offer. Cody Foster’s vintage-inspired papier-mâché buckets are perfect decorative accents, even sweeter when filled with candy. Halloween creeps closer here.
John has cast his spell over decoupage treats for Halloween. Dancing devils, black cats, floating skeletons, spooky spiders, and more, all custom-made in our New York studios and designed as plates, trays, mirrors, and paperweights. Enter if you dare.
Explore the forest and discover our bounty of new decoupage. Mushrooms, squashes, gourds, pumpkins, leaves, and more lend an autumnal touch to your fall décor. Each piece is made to order in our New York City studio. Begin the harvest here.
Get a sneak peek at the year ahead with our 2027 wall calendar. Beautiful blooms from John’s collection of 19th-century prints, books, and lithographs mark the start of each month. Take note: our selection of notepads and notebooks is perfect for making lists, writing, or doodling.

John is back with his favorites from last season's Target collection. Inspired by his love for 18th & 19th-century nature imagery, the collection features throw pillows, candles, tableware, and more.
Last fall marked the 30th anniversary of John’s first shop in New York. A few years after starting his one-man decoupage design business in Boston, he moved to New York in the early 1990s. As orders increased, he hired a team of artisans to craft his motifs and opened his first shop in 1995 on 2nd Street in the East Village... a quiet block that would soon become his creative hub.
