As space on the block became available, John saw an opportunity to expand his emporium of ceramics, textiles, antiques, art, holiday, and furniture from his collection with Cisco Brothers (a collaboration inspired by John’s collection of 19th-century pieces collected throughout the years), into three consecutive storefronts on the same block. Today, 6, 8, and 10 East 2nd street remain destinations for design enthusiasts and decoupage fans. Throughout his time in New York, John has created a wide design presence through collaborations with companies and artists like Designers Guild, Astier de Villatte, Pierre Frey, Jeanette Farrier, Target and a line of paper goods including two published picture books.

In 2008, John opened a seasonal shop in Provincetown, Massachusetts, a longtime personal getaway that also reflects his love of coastal New England and history and introduced a West Village outpost on Christopher Street in 2018... two small outposts that echoed the charm and spirit of the East Village shops. To commemorate 30 years in New York, John has collaborated with the UK brand The Jacksons to create a vibrant, 100% sustainable jute bag. As a love letter to the city that has shaped John's work for the past three decades, we are also highlighting a selection of decoupage designs featuring antique postcards, maps, and ephemera related to New York City.
