fine furnishings for low key living
Seattle's Georgetown Design District | Coming soon to Avenue Bellevue!
OUR STORY
A POETIC APPROACH TO LIFE
A Brume is a light fog, common in the quiet Pacific Northwest and Northern European climates. We believe that the poetry, stories, and craftsmanship, and people behind the pieces are what make them beautiful.
OUR
FOUNDERS
Renate Ruby founded Adorn LLC in 2015, after a career in Interior Design and art. As a maker, Renate is dedicated to a deep understanding of how making fine furniture works in a way only possible with the experience gained by making things oneself. She is a knowledgable bridge between designers and makers.
Renate's step daughter, Roisy began working with her at her design firm and at the fledgling Adorn in her mid teens, assisting with website development and other special projects. The foundation for Brume was developed while Roisy attended UW's Foster school. Their home was filled with ideas and curiosity. Their shared passion for excellence and Roisy's insights and instincts were invaluable as the business grew.
Roisy is not currently involved in the day to day operations of the business while she explores some other interests. Renate always relies on her sharp instincts and advice. Who knows what the future holds?
OUR PURPOSE
We are a knowledgeable resource for designers and design enthusiasts to resource and learn about fairly produced products with great workmanship.
We work to empower interior designers and elevate what they do. We encourage clients to allow their designers to create whole compositions that are worth more than the sum of their parts.
We fuel a flourishing interior design industry that ethically and generously supports its suppliers, showrooms, designers, and end customers in order to sustain a thriving community.
​
Our mission is to cultivate an appreciation of well-crafted furnishings built by people who make a good living building them. We believe the first step in sustainability is to stop benefiting from poor people's labor.
OUR PASSION
We believe in people. We believe in beauty. We believe in community
We are committed to telling the stories of quality materials built by people that are treated fairly and make a comfortable living.
We are passionate about supporting designers and reimagining the value proposition they bring to consumers.
​
We invite consumers to hire a designer to take them on a journey beyond where they could dream of going alone
Finally, we strive to offer a different perspective to our community about the stories of the people and techniques the products in their homes are made from.
