Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at The Ticking Tent, Rita Konig for Schumacher, and Veere Grenney in Conversation With Dara Caponigro. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
The Ticking Tent
The Ticking Tent returns to Brooklyn for its highly anticipated second bi-annual affair! The story of this unique shopping destination began on a rainy Friday afternoon in New York City, over a cozy lunch at Pastis, when The Ticking Tent was born. What started as an idea to capture the thrill of the hunt has since transformed into a premier shopping experience, firmly rooted in the art of discovery.

Rita Konig for Schumacher
London interior designer Rita Konig, known for her fresh take on traditional style, has teamed up with the iconic fabric house Schumacher to launch her debut collection of fabrics and wallpapers. Drawing inspiration from antique textiles and classic motifs, Rita has created a collection that feels fresh, timeless, and perfectly lived-in. Consisting of ten patterns, the collection exudes quintessential English charm, with a mix of florals, botanicals, stripes, and paisleys, each thoughtfully scaled and beautifully colored.
The designs capture Rita’s signature approach—layering color and texture to create inviting spaces that balance old and new. With over 20 years of experience in both the UK and the US, Rita has earned her place among the design elite, regularly featured in Architectural Digest’s AD100 and ELLE Decor’s A-List.
Recently honored as Condé Nast House & Garden’s Designer of the Year for 2024, her work is known for blending comfort, elegance, and a relaxed air. Her debut collection for Schumacher reflects this sensibility, with versatile patterns that work harmoniously together, creating a layered, aged look that feels cozy and chic.
Every design in the collection has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Rita’s commitment to her clients and her ability to transcend trends. With Rita’s distinct touch, these fabrics and wallpapers perfectly marry tradition with modern sensibility, making them ideal for today’s interiors, where style and warmth take precedence.

Veere Grenney in Conversation With Dara Caponigro
Veere Grenney is widely acclaimed as a master of interior design, celebrated internationally for his extraordinary body of work over the past three decades. Known for his ability to blend glamour with restraint, sophistication with comfort, and modernity with classicism, Grenney’s designs are the very essence of timeless elegance.
Yet beyond his stunning interiors, it is the narrative and ethos behind his work that continue to captivate, including through his latest book, Veere Grenney: Seeking Beauty, published by Vendome. On October 8th, Grenney will sit down with Dara Caponigro, Editor-in-Chief of Frederic, at the Decorators Club in New York for an intimate and thought-provoking conversation.
Hosted at The Whitby Hotel, the discussion—titled Style: My Point of View—promises to be an engaging exploration of design, aesthetics, and personal style, all within the iconic backdrop of one of New York’s most charming settings. A cocktail reception will follow, offering a chance to mingle with fellow design aficionados.
