NY Modern show - Balsamo

Steven and Ray are friends I met while doing Jean Sinenberg's Bridgehampton Antiques Show, that was a good ten years ago. Since then their company Balsamo has branched out into interior and garden design serving the Hamptons, NYC, Connecticut, and even Mexico.
Balsamo is described in this way on their website:
"Balsamo Antiquités and Interior Design is housed in a renovated 1837 church in the bucolic town of Pine Plains, NY — just 1 3/4 hours north of Manhattan and 20 minutes south of Hudson, NY.
Balsamo offers an eclectic mix of European 18th, 19th, and 20th century antique furnishings and accessories for the home and garden. Capture and bring home the essence of Old World
sophistication and style."
The Balsamo color pallette usually leans towards dove grey, off white, camel, but their booth at the Modern show was edited to more accurately reflect the venue. It was edgy and urban though not "expected".
The booth was dark and masculine with highlights of brushed steel. Interspersed were wood tones and opaque milk glass clock faces with appearences of galvanized tin - a nod to their mainstay of garden related objets back in the Pine Plains store.
Steve told me one of his favorite items in the booth was the huge white clock face that he said could be illuminated from behind. We both loved the distressed numbers and art deco hands.
