Kaplan and her husband\/business partner, Chris Corrado, run a Brooklyn-based creative agency called An Aesthetic Pursuit, as well as its furniture and accessories arm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/pieces-by-an-aesthetic-pursuit\/\">Pieces by An Aesthetic Pursuit<\/a>, born out of Kaplan\u2019s interior design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was always a challenge to find pieces I liked and that fit correctly,\u201d Kaplan recalls. \u201cSo, we started making bespoke furniture and accessories for clients and launched Pieces in 2017.\u201d They brought in a third partner, Taisha Coombs, who had valuable (and needed) production experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/building-garden\/planters-jardinieres\/cone-planter-pieces-yellow-fiberglass-planters\/id-f_11469763\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-679x950.jpg\" alt=\"Stairwell of the circa-1878 house, where guests can even buy the wall paints.\" class=\"wp-image-340397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-679x950.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-250x350.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-86x120.jpg 86w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-1097x1536.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680-667x933.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIECES_MaineHouse3680.jpg 1429w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Guests who stay in the ca. 1878 house can even buy the Backdrop wall paints.

Looming large in their minds was the idea of a shoppable stay hotel, a vacation home that would showcase their own furnishings as well as those of various partner companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was very important to hand-pick brands that aligned well with Pieces and filled in the gaps in terms of product categories we do not offer,\u201d Kaplan says.
