At the downtown Santa Barbara showroom and studio Celadon House, owner and lead designer Kelli Thornton keeps her exquisite offerings and interiors earthbound with a cohesively curated mix of global goods, a calming color palette and natural textures. There’s a palpable alchemy in the showroom as rough-hewn ladders, modern marble candle holders and mid-century wood and raw iron coffee tables seem right at home together. The gallery-like shop is filled with inspiring yet approachable vignettes - the kind that is easy to envision in your own home. The pièce de résistance of Celadon House collections and what anchors most of these very liveable vignettes is furniture from Cisco Brothers - a sustainable furniture line with a serious commitment to social awareness and the environment. These chic and comfortable sofas, sectionals and chairs are manufactured using FSC certified woods, organic latex, jute, hemp, organic cotton and wool by local craftspeople in Los Angeles. Having partnered with the line for over 20 years, Celadon House now boasts the largest selection of Cisco Brothers furniture on the Central Coast.
This thriving design destination is a family affair. Kelli’s daughter, Allie Thornton and son, Rick Thornton, help run the business, along with long-time employee and design assistant, Jorja La Barre. The dynamic team is on-hand to provide assistance, insight and guidance to customers. In addition to the retail experience, Celadon House offers comprehensive in-house design services for commercial and residential projects, including new development and construction, space planning, color selection, custom upholstery and room design. Here the team shares their expert advice for creating sophisticated, grounded-in-nature living spaces.
