Old school with a new guy. Walking by John Kelly's shop on Franklin street your eye will be caught by the warm wood and comfortable look of new furniture that seems to hail from an earlier era. No slick Soho shop or trendy Tribeca modern, Kelly is an architect who steeped himself in mid century classics before building his own... which is what makes him interesting.

Interestingly, I just had a fantastic experience with John, albeit in a roundabout way.
Ordered the Tau storage bed (King) I'd learned about on AT, from US-Mattress.com, after not seeing it on John's website and thinking it'd been discontinued.
After nearly two months (although the charge went through to my credit card within the first week), I learned that the delay was due to the bed being shipped from NY to Michigan and back again to Brooklyn. Then four bashed-in boxes arrived, with no instructions on what to do next. Mind you, this wasn't exactly an Ikea purchase, and I was expecting a Room-and-Board-like assembly.
In a panic, I called John Kelly at his studio. He asked me for my address, and showed up at my house - IN PERSON - a few days later. The designer himself put my bed together!
I know how bad the economy is, and how it looks good for him to have helped me out, but John went out of his way to do a good deed.
So the moral of my story? Order directly from the manufacturer, not a web-based seller, and he will probably make you a good deal as well. Thanks. juniormint on Oct 9, 2008
