STYLE DUO
The pairing of legendary architect BOBBY MCALPINE with MACRAE to create a line of furniture—modern inheritables—is a match made in design heaven. Launched by Mary Prillaman Holland, owner of MacRae and Holland & Company, the line is McAlpine’s sometimes curious, but always clever, reinterpretation of traditional English designs. hollandandcompany.com; macraedesigns.com; mcalpinehome.com

FRESH TAKE
Designer JOHN OETGEN’s indelible style is now seen on a new furniture collection available through Jerry Pair. Some of the pieces have a modern, even streamlined, Art Deco influence, but rest assured—the collection’s clean lines make it as at home in a traditional setting as a contemporary one. jerrypair.com

TALENT WATCH
First, her paintings and lacquer furniture finishes garnered the attention; now, it’s her fabrics. At the most recent High Point market, Bradley Hughes showcased Atlantan HEIDI PIERCE’s latest wares, including her pillows and ombré silk curtain panels, dazzling buyers from around the country. The modern elegance of Pierce’s designs merges the spirit of Hollywood Regency (sans the clichés) with the élan of classic Atlanta style. idartistry.com

FANTASTIC FOODIES
The culinary creativity of chefs ANNE QUATRANO and CLIFFORD HARRISON is no more evident than at their latest creation, Abattoir at White Provision. We’re smitten with the food and its presentation (think foie gras served in canning jars), but we’re gaga over the Dominique Coyne-designed interiors. (404) 892-3335, starprovisions.com

PERSONAL TOUCH
His presence on the local design scene is no secret, but as of late, RAY GOINS’ elegant, handcrafted furniture has gained the attention of New York’s design elite, as well as the style and design blogosphere, including decorati.com. We’re particularly star-struck by one of the most recent introductions that has come out of his Peachtree Road
