Pavilion

Deborah Colman, owner

This Bucktown store specializes in 20th-century decorative arts, from France and Italy in particular.

Favorite era: “The 1940s through the 1970s. Those were years where design looked forward but also back.”

What to buy now: “The contemporary designs of Michaël Verheyden, Rick Owens, and Lukas Machnik. They all begin with a minimal aesthetic and use simple, elegant materials to elevate the design.”

Must-have: “Unusual lighting, whether it’s a table lamp, floor lamp, or chandelier.”
