Furniture and lighting designer Chris Lehrecke christened his new store location at 415 Warren Street in Hudson with an elegant opening on Saturday, June 4. Lehrecke's curated collection of design objects also includes jewelry by Gabriella Kiss, jewelry and objects by Ted Muehling, gilded objects by Maureen Fullam and hardware by ER Butler. With the doors thrown open to summer, Columbia County cognoscenti gathered at Lehrecke's long handmade tables for wine and cheese. Chris Lehrecke commented that he will continue his operations in New York and Los Angeles, where he will spend most of his time, with the Hudson store in the capable hands of manager Julia Hilbrandt. Lehrecke also proudly introduced son August, who recently joined the family business.–Robyn Perry
