But it is the first to reflect a new way of living and the rhythms we’ve grown into. This Corona era collection was defined and inspired by the happiness we found in two places in Corona, Queens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth celebrate repetition and unexpected harmony in different ways, which we thought fitting for a collection of repeating pattern motif rugs.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLouis Armstrong’s House\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepetition is comforting, and in the best cases it can surprise and delight. And find a room that repeats, comforts, surprises and delights like the guest room in Louis Armstrong’s house. Armstrong’s wife Lucille Wilson bought the home without telling her husband and made mortgage payments in secrecy for nearly a year. But once Armstrong moved in he refused to relocate despite Wilson repeating her ploy, making furtive down payments on several homes in more fashionable neighborhoods. She eventually found happiness in frequent, exuberant renovations of their Corona house, where she lived to the end of her days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Queens Zoo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast year we roamed outside for hours in the dead of winter, hunting for pockets where wildlife and city overlapped. The Queens Zoo is an elegant if modest affair in the middle of a large park. Low guilt as far as zoos go, populated by orphaned puma cubs, flightless bald eagles (one knocked out of the sky by an airplane, the other by a hunter), a coyote rescued from Central Park, giant bunnies, a shy donkey. And a spectacular geodesic dome housing the zoo’s aviary. A walkway spirals through the open air dome leading you through treetops; below you can see and hear the highway. Designed by Buckminster Fuller for the 1964 World’s Fair and nestled between the elk exhibit and Grand Central Parkway, the Aviary at 110th St is both nostalgic and futuristic.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhotography by Clément Pascal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-aviary-early-spring-1","title":"The Aviary, Early Spring","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can find the Aviary in a spectacular geodesic dome at 110th St in Queens.
