Of course, when I think of high-end furniture in Richmond, LaDiff immediately comes to mind. But it’s usually internationally sourced, modern pieces I picture. Well, this month, that’s changing.
Starting tonight with a reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m., La Diff is hosting a special exhibit featuring 16 local artisans’ designs. The goal of the event is promote collaboration and sales. The show and sale runs through March 22.
The group was gathered by blacksmith Kyle Lucia, who owns Phoenix Handcraft shop with his wife, Johannah Willsey. The two also founded RVA Makers, a group that holds regular events geared toward showing off local artisan talent.
