100 Main, Falls Village
One of the biggest names in interior design has set up shop in her favorite small town. "It really came about because of the building,” says Bunny Williams of her new store in the Connecticut town where she has a home. When the one-time grocery store came up for sale, Williams couldn’t resist the opportunity to do something she’d always wanted to do: showcase local artists and makers. She tapped Christina van Hengel as a partner to run daily operations, stripped the space down to its industrial bones, and set up a collective-style store with everything from clothing and textiles to ceramics and leather goods, with several exclusive collaborations. The most important criterion, according to Williams? “It has to be something I just love.”
