Collier West is like a Parisian flea market that was somehow transplanted to Ohio. The store focuses on one-of-a-kind pieces: romantic chandeliers, luxury fabrics, unique tabletop, and artist-designed items.

Poking around online searching our name and found this unanswered post.
Better late than never!
thenewblack: If you cannot find a good deal at CW, you haven't been in for a long while. I continue to curate great finds and support artists not factories. And quite frankly, we should all be supporting our inspired visionaries. I got the biggest hug and thank you yesterday from a local artist that we career launched. It was a proud moment, as I am always the first to offer that free advice and disclose business wisdom.
For the AT readers: The artist that glues: Erica DiPaolo. She is a Columbus resident and was recently signed by a representative that has gotten her work into Harrod's after being discovered by CW.
The Brancheliers are hand crafted and take about 3 solid weeks to create. They are comprised of naturally harvested hickory and each is finely "screwed" into a crafted base. Getting the abundance into the design is an art form. Much like delicious oranges from the south or Ohio corn, if there is a harsh winter, the chandelier cannot be constructed, as the hickory buds are eaten by hungry little bunnies. This is a recent fact from the artist....who knew? Hence the exclusivity of the design. They are indeed wired throughout and UL certified, which for reference is apparently a really respectable and expensive endeavor.
I make jewelry under the name Pont Neuf. I started teaching myself how to do that about 18 months ago, after admiring work from other inspiring artists. But it is in fact the only thing produced by me.
Mouth blown Juliska lights are from outside of Prague where the locals have been passing down the technique from generation to generation for over a hundred years.
Christopher Marley of Pheromone is our bug guy. He is amazing and you can think of him like a cool collector and preservationist.
FL Scott: Great story about those DIY shelves. I was building the store over 6 years ago and my friend and contractor had a little brother who was also in construction. A building was being torn down in Old Town East and we were able to salvage the joists. Another friend in Hocking Country sanded and resurfaced them to make my shelves. They hang from "airline cable" from deep within the ceiling. My installer had to climb through the AC duct to get into the ceiling. I later found out that he was claustrophobic and terrified. When I asked about their strength, he told me I could climb them with a Volkswagen in my pocket. I always thought that was funny. The whole thing was a comedy scene.
If you have other questions about the origins of our lines, let me know and I will do my best to answer. I have met nearly every one of our designers, and always have a good story to tell. (Ask me about the Love Heals Jewelry line!) suziwest7 on Apr 17, 2011
