steed - fine hoarding + tack {my obsessions}



horses have always been my passion, i love design and i'm basically obsessed with everything that my wickedly talented friend, dione carston, conjures up, so when she called to ask if i would be interested in shooting her space the answer was, "um, yeah!"

steed is the perfect marriage of practical products for the equestrian and original awesomeness for the collector. dione's barn is filled with one cool, distinctive item after another ranging from a zebra rug that i coveted for ages, to a fine pair of gucci english riding boots.  mixed in-between you'll find things like a boar tooth necklace, a skull and cross bone belt buckle, or a chair that dione fabricated herself from an old metal frame that she fashioned with stirrup leathers to create that seat and back...this i covet as well.  you don't need to be a horse person to admire and appreciate dione's fine hoarding, you just need to have good taste, a sense of style, and a sense of humor.
