Rita Konig's Domino Days
Rita Konig started as a Domino editor in 2004 and lived in a 400-square-foot NYC apartment.
“Everything was fun; nothing was stuffy and it was quite attainable”
Wicker Cache Pots
Konig buys wicker or willow baskets for multiple uses like holding dishcloths or plants.
“I love items with multiple uses. Wicker or willow, but I particularly love wicker cache pots for plants like hyacinths in winter”
Wine Tumblers
Konig prefers wine tumblers for their casual feel and ease of use in drinks.
“The ones I reach for more and more are wine tumblers because they’re so easy and feel so much more casual”
French-Inspired Sofa
Konig bought a shallow, high-backed sofa that moved with her through apartments and reupholstered multiple times.
“It’s shallow and high-backed, perfect for chatting in the kitchen”
Lacquer Trays
Konig designed a Belles Rives lacquer tray with The Lacquer Company for multi-use storage.
“I learned the power of the tray at Domino. Everyone seemed to corral things into little trays”
Serving Bowls
Konig bought a single Mud Australia china plate for roast chicken and still uses it today.
“I bought a big serving plate, just one, and I used it for my roast chicken, potatoes, and vegetables”
White Bed Linens
Konig collects layered bed linens, including vintage covers and D. Porthault patterns.
“I’ll do a solid sheet with maybe a colored edge. I’ll have vintage covers, like a lovely old suzani or eiderdown in the winter”
