TSMA’s takeout extension in Wyckoff, New Jersey

TSMA’s takeout extension in Wyckoff, New Jersey was designed to spotlight their core values: fresh ingredients, artisanal quality, and handcrafted flavor. The space brings these elements to life through thoughtful details such as hand-drawn wallpaper that celebrates their craft, a textured wood ceiling that adds warmth and authenticity, a hanging rolling pin sculpture and a window into the kitchen where a quirky, LED-lit dumpling glows proudly, highlighting their reputation as Wyckoff’s dumpling experts @tsmachinesecuisine #chinesefood #bergencountynj #wyckoffnj #foodie #restaurant #nj #dumplings #poeticmodernism® Design:@michelealfanodesign GC: @omegalfa30

Hosted by the @thenkba and the @dacorkitchen teams

Hosted by the @thenkba and the @dacorkitchen teams, this was an unforgettable evening of culinary artistry, conversation, and inspiration. Curated by Dacor Chef Jean-Bernard Villareal, the evening was designed to spark connection and gather design minds inside the innovative Dacor Kitchen Theater. The night’s menu was pure poetry: Passed canapés,Steamed shrimp ravioli,Rack of lamb in a holiday sauce with winter garden vegetables, Warm apple strudel to close the night. A beautiful blend of design, flavor, and community .. the perfect recipe for an elevated experience #NKBA #Dacor #DesignCommunity #KitchenTheater #CulinaryArtistry #DesignEvent #DesignForTheExhale

Scouted modern art in Chelsea NY with one of the best collectors in New York, AJ Thankyou! It was such fun popping in and out of galleries, and modern furniture stores in search for pieces that made my pulse quicken and gave me the goosies…the same way I want my clients to feel in their spaces. I now have a curated collection for future projects #PoeticModernism® #DesignForTheExhale #art #chelsea #nyc #artcollector #modernart

Poetic Pick Restorative Dark Olive! People think dark colors make a room feel small But to me, darker hues restore.They cocoon you, absorb harsh light, and quiet the mind. Take olive green and the wood grain wallpaper in this space...it’s not just a color, it’s a feeling. Aegean Olive #1491 is my go-to for 2026: deep, earthy, and rooted in nature. It doesn’t close in... it embraces. Because true wellness design doesn’t always start with brightness, it begins with depth.
