Thomas O'Brien

I first discovered the very talented Thomas O'Brien many years ago when his New York apartment was featured in House Beautiful. Since then I have been hooked on his warm modern aesthetic. His Soho shop, Aero Studio, is chock full of amazing accessories and design inspiration. Get a good view of the store here. Well worth a visit if you haven't been.

It's fun to watch how O'Brien's living room has morphed from super clean and simple above....

to this.....

to this.....

to now this.... he went ahead and moved his bedroom into the living room. Genius!

Trays are an O'Brien signature (below). It's amazing how they pull a look together and make things important and orderly. Read more about the designer here. (Check out the new shipment of trays at Shed).
