Holly Hunt Showroom welcomes Phillip Jeffries. LTD to their beautifully redesigned 5th floor space in New York's DD Building. Uncomplicated, transitional, clean, modern and fresh describes both the newly appointed space and the Phillip Jeffries collection of wallpapers.  I arrived soon after the 5:30 pm start time, greeted by smiles at the door, firm handshakes from the HH team, light music in the background and a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc.  It is hard to hold a glass of wine and camera at the same time, but I enjoyed the challenge.  Recognizable star power + good design = marvelous party. Thank you Hearst Publications, Holly Hunt LTD and Phillip Jeffries, LTD for your delightful gathering.

" Now in its third decade, Phillip Jeffries Ltd. has emerged as the industry leader in hand crafted wallcoverings.

Eric’s passion for wallcovering excellence continues to live on in the next generation of Phillip Jeffries Ltd., through his sons Philip and Jeffrey Bershad. Philip is President and Jeffrey is Chief Executive Officer. Eric, Philip and Jeffrey work with skilled artisans and craftsman to create the design world’s most beautiful and sought-after wallcoverings.
