Designer Harry Allen revives his upstate New York cottage with subtle modernist makeover
New York-based industrial and interior designer Harry Allen founded his eponymous brand in 1993. From producing furniture collections and tableware to commercial and residential projects, Allen’s career spans the breadth of design disciplines – in 2007 he really broke the mould with his pig-shaped resin piggy bank. We visited his upstate New York home in 2009 (W*118), a 19th-century cottage in suburban Bedford that had just emerged from a gentle modernist makeover.
