The 9,500-square-foot showroom at Highland Avenue space has been open since 1993 and is an eccentric mash-up of antique items and contemporary designs including furniture, lighting, art and curiosities that spans numerous periods and styles. The owners, Adam Blackman and David Cruz, known for their quirky, daring style, which has drawn in celebrities and tastemakers worldwide.
We attended a book sign event two weeks ago–Beauty & Mischief: The Design Alchemy of Blackman Cruz. Art and culture journalist Stacie Stukin takes an all-encompassing look into the ethos and inspiration of the famed interior design duo Adam Blackman and David Cruz. Here are some photos we took from the showroom.

The modern creamy boules chairs and creamy area rugs really make all of the dark furnishing pieces stand out. The brass metal chandelier is simple yet classical at the same time. We also love the minimalist profile of the mirror hanging atop of a wood sideboard. And who wouldn’t enjoy the amazing window view that is filled with spring greenery?
Looking for a stunning and one-of-a-kind statement design that elevate your dining room in the new year of 2023? This Polanco Dining table is the perfect choice thanks to its oxidized metal base and characteristic oyster-cut mosaics wood top. And the story behind of creating this unique table is mind-blowing— “a family of artisans scours the forest, salvaging Mexican ash trees that have fallen naturally and would otherwise go to waste. Fragments of the recovered wood, as well as pieces of European ash, are cut and arranged by hand, creating unique mosaics where scorch marks, water stains, and natural graining add to the character of every tabletop.”
We would love to pair this table with minimalist dining chairs.
