Design Sourcing

Travel with purpose.
Return with pieces that carry the story home.

A future offering for clients who want more than something beautiful. Considered sourcing experiences shaped around the places, people, materials, and objects that give a home soul.

Collected with intention. Chosen for your life.

A different way to source

Some pieces fill a room. Others hold a memory, a place, and a story you could never order from a catalog.

The service

Two ways it will work

01

Your sourcing journey

A beautifully edited travel plan for clients who want to experience the discovery themselves. I will shape the route, identify the right sources, and may accompany the journey when the project calls for hands on design guidance.

02

Sourcing on your behalf

For clients who want the eye and discovery without the travel. I will be able to travel on behalf of your project, edit the possibilities, and present the most compelling pieces for your consideration.

The Penelope Studio lens

From vision to discovery

  1. 01

    Define the story

    The experience will begin with your home, project, point of view, and the pieces you hope to find. The goal will not simply be to shop. It will be to source with intention.

  2. 02

    Choose the right places

    I will research the markets, makers, ateliers, showrooms, and neighborhoods most likely to hold what your project needs.

  3. 03

    Edit in real time

    On the ground, I will help separate the truly special from the merely tempting, considering scale, material, condition, context, and how each piece will live at home.

  4. 04

    Bring the story home

    Selections will be documented with clear notes, measurements, and next steps, with guidance for purchase and shipping coordination when the scope calls for it.

A bespoke commission

The sourcing experience may include

Each future commission will be shaped around the destination, project, timeline, and level of support required.

Coming soon

A new way to source is taking shape.

Destination Design Sourcing is currently in development. Details and private commission availability will be announced by Penelope Studio soon.

Coming Soon

Travel, purchasing, freight, insurance, taxes, customs, receiving, and third party professional services will be defined separately for each future commission.
