Marion Stora has done much of the same with her inaugural furniture collection ? Opening Acts. Stora initially worked on her own after opening the doors to her interiors studio in 2011 before working with a team to style distinct, warm, and lively spaces ? all with a penchant for using hand-woven fabrics, raw hides, and wood.

Opening Acts harnesses the experience Stora has accrued in designing made-to-measure furniture pieces for her private clients, which turned into a refined 15-piece collection made in partnership with the finest craftspeople.
