Wretched Flowers, the cult brand that has amassed a loyal following for their beaded chainmail creations, just opened their first-ever showroom in SoHo. Visitors enter through a graffiti-covered door and climb several flights of old-school New York stairs to reach the loft space, which Wretched Flowers shares with Petra Hardware. Here, they’re showing lighting, room dividers, and in-process tapestries inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Raphael: Sublime Poetry” exhibition. “We spent a lot of time there, seeing how we could subvert certain things, and develop our own visual language around them,” explains Johnny Stanish, who founded Wretched Flowers with his wife, Loney Abrams.
