Bruges Home Press: Philadelphia Magazine



It’s got furniture, it’s got dinnerware, it’s even got jewelry, but the best reason to come to Bruges Home is to accessorize your pad. Yes, that Bleu Nature lamp will match that branch candlestick, and it’ll also work perfectly with the colorful beetle mosaic for your wall. And there are a few reasons why: 1) Owner Ed Gray’s well-edited collection is inspired by the way Belgians incorporate nature into their home décor, resulting in a modern-but-not-cold, organic style; 2) Bruges stocks so many different designers (from Belgium, Brazil, France, Thailand, Italy, etc.) that it’s nearly impossible to over-design with just one; and 3) The big, square two-story space resembles a comfortable, lived-in house and not a store, making it oh-so-easy to imagine the wares in your home. Plus, try, just try, to find one of the pieces here anywhere else in the city. 32 Race Street, 215-922-6041, brugeshome.com.
