Where do our minds go when we read books, magazines and letters? Do we seek an escape, a portal to another world? A secret, a truth, a pleasant distraction? Voyagers, edited by Melissa Catanese (author of Dive Dark Dream Slow), consists almost entirely of anonymous black-and-white snapshots of people in various postures of reading in living rooms, on beds, at the beach, eating breakfast. We can't see what these readers are thinking, but Catanese occasionally breaks the hypnotic typological rhythm to reveal a new photographic element—a pyramid, a starry night, sunlight blindingly glowing through a window—giving us brief glimpses of the readers' potential narrative journeys. A wordless book with the size and feel of a vintage paperback found at a flea market, Voyagers reminds us of the power and intimacy of our relationship to reading devices, and evokes an exotic nostalgia for our recent predigital culture. As with Catanese's prior books (Dive Dark Dream Slow [2012], Hells Hollow, Fallen Monarch [2016]), the images were judiciously selected from the collection of Peter J. Cohen, a celebrated trove of more than 20,000 vernacular photographs from the early to mid-20th century. Gathered from flea markets, dealers and eBay, these images have been acquired, exhibited and included in a range of major museum publications.

Our Craft

Our Craft

Honoring our Tradition

Our craft is a tribute to heritage, an intentional celebration of traditional artistry passed down through generations. We work closely with skilled artisans whose hands carry the stories of time-honored techniques, shaping each piece with precision and heart.

Every curve, texture, and finish reflects the human touch, transforming handcrafted imperfections into a mark of true craftsmanship. Inspired by tradition, designed for today—our pieces honor the past while creating timeless forms for modern spaces.

Our Materials

Inspired by Nature

We embrace the raw beauty of nature, selecting materials that honor their organic origins. Every grain, texture, and variation tells a story, making each piece truly one of a kind.

We work with responsibly sourced materials, celebrating their natural character through thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship. By allowing these elements to shine, we create timeless pieces that bring warmth and authenticity into the home.

An Heirloom for Your Home

Designed to transcend trends, En Gold pieces are created with longevity in mind. Each design is thoughtfully considered, crafted to be lived with, loved, and passed down.

With a focus on timeless form and enduring quality, our collections balance function with artistry. More than furniture, they are future heirlooms. Pieces that hold stories, memories, and meaning for generations to come.
