The Orchid Affair
Veranda
|May - June 2023
At Charlotte's Duke Mansion, fine craft dealer Ruth Runberg toasts her spring accessories show with a dinner starring the tall, graceful tropicals (the rarer, the better).
ON A BREEZY SPRING EVENING, Ruth Runberg sets a long table aglow with candlelight on the front porch of Charlotte, North Carolina's Duke Mansion. With this orchid-laden dinner, the founder of R. Runberg Curiosities is saluting the finale of her annual spring show, an unveiling of unusual objects and other rarities from around the globe. "I'm driven by discovery," says the shop owner, a former fashion buyer for Barneys and Browns. "Everything I buy is made by hand. That human element gives a sense of soul to each item. And I'm drawn to antiques and vintage pieces because I like to imagine what they've seen and the stories they could tell."

Golden Hours
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, design brand strategist Sean Yashar wrote an essay for his Sub-stack newsletter lamenting the disappearance of evening photography—images of atmospherically lit rooms—from design magazines like this one. There are several explanations for this, including a pivot away from the more glamorous, even disco-influenced aesthetic of the 1970s and '80s to a flatter, shadowless decorative point of view and, of course, the transformational evolution from analog to digital technology. Regardless of design preferences or technological advancements, our lives at home unfold across a wide range of light conditions, from dusk to dawn, with many of our domestic moments occurring after dark. It seemed a lost opportunity not to tell the stories of those “narrative-rich hours,” as Yashar called them, in VERANDA.
