There is a way of living that moves at its own pace, unbothered by the modern world. Slow mornings with the drapes spread wide. A strong cup of tea at the age-worn kitchen table. Silver on the dining table. The scrape of chair legs, goodbyes at the door running long. Rooms that don't ask what year it is.

McConnell was never new. We are devoted to beautiful things and the people who live with them. Furniture, objects, art, the table and the traditions that surround them. Pieces of real quality, made and touched by hands, most of them older than any of us. We look after them until the next generation.

McConnell was founded by Nicole McConnell from her San Francisco home, to bring things that matter back into our own.

The McConnell shop and studio are in Marin County, just north of San Francisco.
