The sophisticated home decor flash-sale site One Kings Lane hosted its first event in Washington, DC last week – a party celebrating their “Tastemaker Tag Sale” collaboration with Thornwillow Press. Guests were invited to Thornwillow’s stationery salon in the lobby of the historic and lovely St Regis Hotel to preview the vintage and exclusive items curated by Thornwillow founder, Luke Ives Pontifell.

The San Francisco-based One Kings Lane was happy to host a reception in Washington DC to meet guests from the design community who turned out to eye the interesting objects, romantic letterpress paper-goods, and beautifully bound books. This has been a strong market for their site which often skews to sales of modern or globally-influenced takes on classic decor – which seems very DC.
