MICHAEL BRUNOMichael Bruno's 1stdibs.com is the guilty pleasure of every major interior designer, architect, and anyone with discriminating taste looking for home furnishing ideas. FRENCH BOMBAY CHEST - CHRISTOPHE POURNY STUDIO  The site has mushroomed in the last few years.  What was once a bare bones site likened to a high end ebay when it first launched in 2001, is now as polished and vibrant as any home furnishing glossy.   The beauty of the site is you can peruse  the collections of a gallery cross-town or cross-country the day the items are available - all without ever leaving the house - or even your bed for many late night surfers.   Ever expanding - the site recently started featuring estate jewelry and has added Orange County, California area stores to the mix.

SUSANNA SALKCHRISTOPHE POURNY Mr. Bruno has a first class team of correspondents that scout new resources and talent.   Style expert Susanna Salk writes many of the profiles on various talented store owners and Artisans.   One recent article featured antique restoration specialist and aLIFEofSTYLE subject - Christophe Pourny.   It is this type of coverage that has made 1st dibs so much more than just a site to buy furniture and decorative objects.   Registered users get weekly email announcements of recent additions to the site.  Happy clicking!
