Past Lives Studio

Curation Practice
Past Lives Studio is a New York-based interior design firm and vintage dealer specializing in restored 19th and 20th-century furniture and decorative arts. Founded in 2021 by Carly Krieger, the studio offers a curated mix of pieces spanning the 1800s to the 1980s, with a focus on Viennese Secessionist, French Art Deco, Swedish Grace, and Italian Modernism. We source prized pieces from designers such as Josef Hoffmann, William Spratling, Carl-Johan Boman, and Jean Lurçat. In sourcing for our shop's inventory, we seek the unordinary, and refinish it with the finest attention to craft material. Through the use of custom finishes and bold upholstery, we add our own touch to timeless and historic designs, resulting in one of a kind pieces. 

Interior Design Practice
In our interior design practice, we mix different time periods and styles to create layered, soulful spaces grounded in vintage design. Her work emphasizes function, timelessness and a sense of humor through the use of objects with unique form, color and materiality. Past Lives Studio has been featured in Architectural Digest, Sight Unseen, The New York Times and New York Magazine. 

Philosophy
Our commitment to high-end product, quality aesthetic and sustainable process is our identity. Through carefully restoring pieces from the past, recycling packing materials and using biodegradable branded collateral, we are doing our part to minimize our footprint on our Mother Earth.
