STARS AT KNIGHT

Allan Knight’s new showroom opened with a bang - dancing Foo dogs (that were a little aggressive with a pretty friend of mine), Chinese drummers, and the lovely “Divine” covered in ivy walking around on stilts. But, that is nothing compared to the impressive array of incredible artistic talent Knight has amassed. New lines that have not been seen in Dallas like Sun, a Korean furniture designer from Los Angeles, and Sabina Fay Braxton whose painted and stamped velvets are so beautiful they will make you cry. As exotic as Knight’s ambience is, he has two new lines that are almost local - First Circle from Oklahoma City uses the most marvelous craftmanship with different woods, and Cowden Bell from Weatherford, Texas does gorgeous hand-studded leather and upholstery. Knight is an incredible talent that has this jaded editor in awe. But, I don’t understand the human pyramids that were at the opening - canvas pyramids with a body inside gyrating and pressing against the fabric. Anyone get it?
