The farm-to-tablemovement has revolutionized eating. Farmers markets havesprouted up across the city, and entire restaurants have beencreated around the concept of sustainability.While the Atlanta design industry is not as hyperlocalmany things are designed here, but made elsewherethere arereal signs that more home furnishings will be created in theUnited States in the years to come. Im certain well see thathere, too. In some respects, the Atlanta design community is atthe forefront of that shift. Our local craftsmen are unparalleled,and when theyre paired with a designer or architect with astrong vision, the results of their collaborative efforts can betruly inspiring.This months cover is a reflection of that. The core pieceswere made right here in our area. The console was imagined anddesigned by Square Feet Studio, a local design and architecturefirm, and it was fabricated by Skylar Morgan Furniture + De-sign at its Atlanta atelier. The botanical painting hanging aboveit was created by artist Susan Hable in her Athens studio. Thepieces were photographed in the recent Atlanta Homes & LifestylesChristmas House, which is featured in this issue. The show-house strives to capture the best in local design right now, aswell as provide an outlook to where its headed. And while youllfind objects with different places of originsItalian fabrics,Persian rugs, English antiques, etc.the essence of Atlanta styleis imbued throughout.About UsPublished since 1983, Atlanta Homes& Lifestyles is the city's only monthlyhome, garden and lifestyle titleTalk to Us + Connectblog.atlantahomesmag.comtwitter.com/atlantahomesmagfacebook.com/atlantahomesmagE-NewsletterOur weekly e-newsletter coversthe latest in local design news.Subscribe at atlantahomesmag.comDesign ResourcesFind hundreds of local sources foryour home dcor needs.
