NEW YORK – Spanish porcelain brand Lladró this month opened a new lighting and home décor showroom in the Decoration & Design Building, located at 979 Third Ave. in New York City.

The new space follows the opening of a Lladró lighting and home décor showroom in Milan last fall, in partnership with Spanish brand Cosentino, a provider of architectural and design surface solutions.

The D&D Building represents more than 3,000 leading manufacturers of residential and business interior furnishings. The Lladró showroom, on the 15th floor of the building, showcases the brand’s most recent venture into lighting as well as its home décor selection.

Lladró offers lighting and decorative creations in a range of different sizes and colors, including customized solutions.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
