Studio Mascot
Chaos creator
Every classic design needs a touch of unpredictable charm.
Our studio mascot provides the daily inspiration (and mischievous antics) behind our collections. Known for leaping from furniture with the fierce audacity of a flying squirrel—and absolutely zero concept of gravity until the laws of physics inevitably catch him up—this furry friend reminds us that home should always be a beautiful mix of elegant craftsmanship and pure, whimsical joy
Christiane Michels
Photographer, Intrepid Traveller
Christiane’s global travels provide both the inspiration and the breathtaking imagery captured throughout our collections.
As the ultimate gift-giver, she has an eye for world-class, keepsake-quality treasures. Her deep love for cats and appreciation for beauty abroad became the spark for the brand, helping shape a collection that blends sophisticated, globally inspired quality with the cozy, seaside soul of New England.
Annie Michels
Founder, Designer
Pairing an IT background with creative curiosity, Annie loves collaborating with local designers and artists to bring thoughtful ideas to life.
Based on the New England coast, she channels her love for the Atlantic lifestyle into creating everyday luxuries—like our oversized wool coasters—that are as durable as they are elegant. Good design is all about celebrating family, fine craftsmanship, and the quiet comfort of a slow morning at home with a furry companion nearby.
From Global Finds to Coastal Classics
A little backstory on the brand...
My mother-in-law is the ultimate gift-giver, always returning from world travels with incredible finds. I set out to create a gift for her that is just as elevated and special as the treasures she brings home from abroad, but reflects the life we love right here in New England.
In the Northeast, the coastal lifestyle and devotion to our pets go hand-in-hand. Since she is a cat fanatic, I knew my first creation had to have a feline touch, while being durable and elegant enough for a classic seaside home. Because nothing beats a crisp morning by the Atlantic with a coffee and furry companion nearby.
Crafted from premium wool felt and proudly Made in the USA, this collection is my love letter to family, the Atlantic breeze, and the pets who make every coastal morning better.
The story is just beginning. I am so incredibly excited to share our upcoming collections with you. Cat lovers, get ready to share the spotlight—our next design is officially in production, and exciting new product collaborations are currently in development to bring even more coastal charm to your home.
Stay tuned—you’re going to love what’s landing next!
