Antique textiles from John’s collection emerge in exciting new ways. Antique rugs are repurposed into unique pillows and ottomans. A selection of 19th-century French ticking material is reimagined as pillows, with each piece chosen to ensure no two are alike. One-of-a-kind Olly rag rugs, made from recycled wool and silk are carefully washed, cut into strips, and crocheted by hand by Oliver Williams, transforming discarded textiles into vibrant, textured treasures. a
John has designed a series of plates for Astier de Villatte based on his collection of antique Delftware, showcasing the artistry of this centuries-old decoration and beautifully complementing their handmade ceramics.
Hooray—Spring begins tomorrow! A garden blooms in our decoupage department, where the sun shines, bees buzz, and birds fly. Whether you fancy a simple flower or a lush bouquet, John has designed a collection filled with botanical options, from a single daffodil to a bunch of tulips.

Lavenham and John Derian have come together for a second collaboration featuring classic Lavenham silhouettes embroidered with 18th- and 19th-century imagery from John's archive.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of John’s first shop in New York. A few years after starting his one-man decoupage design business in Boston, he moved to New York in the early 1990s. As orders increased, he hired a team of artisans to craft his motifs and opened his first shop in 1995 on 2nd Street in the East Village... a quiet block that would soon become his creative hub.
