Together with our friends at Brooklyn-based Misha & Puff, weβre excited to introduce a small collaborative collection featuring summer/orchard/fruit-inspired motifs from their Spring/Summer β26 collection.Β
Playfully paired/sun-ripened/orchard-
Earlier this Spring, we took the collection for a spin through Fort Greene, Brooklyn with Merie Subryan β interior stylist, designer, creative consultant β and her two children: Phoenix and Cy.Β
We started the morning at The Center for Fiction, a quiet neighborhood bookstore Merie calls her second home, before wandering over to Candor Candy for sweets from around the world β easily the highlight for Phoenix and Cy. Fueled by sugar, we spent the afternoon at Fort Greene Park playing soccer, tossing frisbees, and enjoying one of Brooklynβs best parks beneath the trees.Β
Weβve admired Misha & Puff for years β not only for their beautiful knitwear, but for the care behind everything they make. Founded in 2012 by Anna Wallack, the brand has built a thoughtful world of heirloom-quality clothing handmade by artisans in Peru using natural fibers, hand-dyed yarns, and slow production practices rooted deeply in craft.Β
This collaboration is a shared celebration of handmade work, family life, and the neighborhoods that shape us
Sincerely,
The Sabah Dealer

A Day with Merie & Her Family.
Tell us about yourself. Who are you? What do you do?
I'm Merie Subryan, an interior stylist, designer, and creative consultant based in Brooklyn, and founder of Studio Subryan. I create lived-in interiors and help brands turn spaces, objects, and daily life into visual and editorial stories. My work is rooted in spatial planning, emotional atmosphere, and unexpected color relationships. I also write Section Plane, a newsletter about how taste evolves over time.
How long have you lived in NYC?
My whole life. I'm a lifelong New Yorker, raised in Brooklyn by Guyanese parents. Growing up surrounded by one of the largest West Indian communities outside the Caribbean deeply shaped me. My parents owned property in Brooklyn, so I spent much of my childhood walking through construction sites and renovations across the city. That's where my eye for space first developed. Now I'm raising my own kids here, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
What attracted you to Fort Greene? What do you love about it?
Its energy. Fort Greene has a rare mix of families, creatives, and longtime residents all sharing the same neighborhood rhythm. Between the park, farmers market, restaurants, and shops, you can live a full day without ever leaving the neighborhood. It feels equally suited for family life and creative life.

You selected 3 spots for today's photoshoot. Tell us about them. Why did you choose them?
Candor Candy Shop recently opened nearby and feels wonderfully nostalgic β like being a kid again, now through the eyes of my own children. The Center for Fiction is my second home; bookstores are where my mind finally quiets down. And Fort Greene Park is simply the best park in Brooklyn. Together, the three places reflect how we actually spend our time here.
Tell us about your family.
I live with my husband Alex, our daughter Phoenix (8), our son Cy (3), and our maltipoo Charlie. Phoenix has long been obsessed with architecture, sustainability, and preservation β alongside witches, NASA, and Tom SachsβsΒ Space Program: Mars. Cy loves cars, his sister, and pointing out every light fixture he sees. Sometimes he sits beneath our Noguchi pendant imagining itβs a UFO. Apparently design obsession runs in the family.
Is there anything you learned early in your career that carries through with you today?
I learned early on how important it is to clearly articulate a vision. You canβt assume everyone sees the same thing, even when working toward the same goal. Whether Iβm styling a room or consulting on a space, I try to define the feeling and intention carefully so the work stays aligned. And above all, Iβve learned to stay true to the vision β if it becomes too diluted, itβs probably not the right fit.
Tell us about a design project inspiring you right now.
I keep returning to Crina Arghirescu Rogardβs palazzo-inspired penthouse overlooking Central Park. Her work begins with structure, flow, and light, allowing atmosphere to emerge naturally. I also admire Rafael Prietoβs Casa Bosques PensiΓ³n in Mexico City and Laila Goharβs ARKET carousel installation at Salone del Mobile. All three projects make bold, unexpected moves while remaining deeply grounded in the space itself.
The Collection.
