DESIGN NOTES: A Conversation with Molly Kidd and Studio SGT
On antiques, intention, and designing with enduring quality - Hosted by Galerie Town
Join us for a thoughtful conversation exploring the role of history, craftsmanship, and conscious design in shaping interiors that last. From the quiet elegance of bespoke pieces to the soulful presence of antiques, this discussion invites us to consider how intention, materiality, and narrative inform the spaces we live in. Each voice brings a distinct perspective, united by a shared commitment to quality, restraint, and the timeless language of design. Moderated by Hannah Klemm.
This event is presented in partnership with Galerie Town, a new destination redefining the showroom experience. Their curated space brings together a rotating art gallery, bespoke fabric and furniture collections and collected vintage and unique objects.

STUDIO SGT
Studio SGT, founded by designer Sam Thompson, is dedicated to crafting custom pieces and taking on private projects. Sam's passion for architecture led him to apprentice with a designer in Los Angeles, where he honed skills in space planning, custom furniture design, producing renderings, and drafting shop drawings. While working on a project for a collector of fine furniture, Sam immersed himself in the works of Jean Prouvé, Jean Royère, Charlotte Perriand, and Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. As he designed the architectural details of a home built around these masterworks, he realized how rare it is—amid today’s mass production—to find furniture that even complement or embody the same quality, craft, and design integrity as 75 years ago. His new made-to-order collection of furniture is crafted entirely in America from the highest quality materials, combining architectural discipline and a commitment to craft. Each design reflects a commitment to detail and a belief that furniture should be as lasting and meaningful as the architecture it inhabits.
BARN 10 | MONSOON MATCHA
The BARN 10 collection serves as a permanent destination for the highest quality staples both cultivated and found. Kitchen essentials are distilled into their purest and most nutritional form, shaping a conscious and purposeful wellness to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Each object made or found is carefully selected with the intent that if you can find it in their home, they know you'll love it in yours.
Monsoon Matcha - the first pantry item in the collection was born out of love, respect for tradition and quality above all. Japanese culture and food practices have and will always be a place they consistently look to for inspiration and respect. Authentic agricultural prices and ingredients are at the forefront of all Barn 10 products. Sourced from Uji, Japan - Monsoon Matcha is the highest form of organic ceremonial grade matcha.
