Made Goods cofounders Chris DeWitt and Oscar Yague share the inspiration behind their new book, Layered Living, with LUXE Editor-in-Chief Jill Cohen. Includes the book and signing.

Truly memorable homes aren’t created in a single stroke. They grow richer with influences from every journey, collected treasure, and family story. Join Made Goods cofounders Chris DeWitt and Oscar Yague for a conversation with Jill Cohen, Editor in Chief of LUXE Interior + Design, about their debut book, Layered Living: Interiors with Story and Style (Rizzoli, February 23, 2027). Chris and Oscar will share the philosophy behind the book and take listeners inside three of their homes—including their colorful Palm Springs retreat. They’ll also reflect on how their design point of view has shaped the growth of the Ardmore family of brands: Made Goods, Burton James, Pigeon & Poodle and Blue Pheasant. Come for an early look at how layered homes come to life. Book signing to follow the panel.

The first book from one of today’s most dynamic design brands, Layered Living explores how Made Goods’ distinctive mix of materials, textures and unexpected details creates personal, collected interiors. The book showcases work by leading interior designers who incorporate Made Goods into their projects, along with an intimate look inside Chris and Oscar’s own homes—from a Mission-style Pasadena residence and colorful Palm Springs modernist retreat to an Art Deco apartment in Barcelona—revealing how their personal spaces have helped shape the brand’s distinctive design point of view.

Included with Your Panel Ticket: Each panel ticket includes a copy of the new book, Layered Living: Interiors with Story and Style—a $65 retail value—with the opportunity to have it personally signed by Chris and Oscar following the conversation.

Their Palm Springs residence will also be open for tours from 1:00–5:00 PM; tour admission is not included with the panel ticket: Alexander Spotlight Tour: Morse Residence, 1961
