There's a fresh face on the rise in the world of home decor and design. Whether you're preparing to entertain guests, or looking for unique and sophisticated pieces to bring your home decor together, The Corcoran Group's associate real estate broker Jared Seligman is a name to watch, and he's ready to shake things up in the industry.

With a keen eye for style and a passion for creating elegant yet functional pieces for the home, the New York City-based broker is curating a collection of high-quality items that are sure to delight and inspire. Drawing from 20 years of experience in servicing an affluent client base in the real estate industry, four years of interior design experience, as well as personal influence from his fashionable grandmothers, Seligman is introducing an unparalleled approach to housewares. The overarching concept, in a word: timeless. The theme: exquisite, with an eclectic flair.

Seligman describes his style aesthetic as "charming and kind of an old-world nooks-and-crannies type of situation," and he'll be carrying that into the new line, but with a modern twist. Think sets that will last for ages and can be passed on to honor familial heritage - but it's not your mother's typical china. "I just love beautiful china. I always had a very hard time finding something that's a perfect blend of both traditional and Old World, but modern enough where it [doesn't] look like I [have] my great grandmother's sets of china everywhere," he said.

When reflecting upon how he developed his taste, the associate broker credits the influence of his grandmothers as his pièce de résistance. "I think my two grandmothers on both sides were - there's no other way to explain it. I think it all goes back to both of them," said the broker.

He talks about his paternal grandmother, who possesses a style that's classically eclectic, yet far ahead of her time.

"On my father's side, my grandmother is almost a bohemian. She's 97. I just spoke to her yesterday. She looks like [fashion icon] Iris Apfel. Not as bold, or I would say, I don't want to say fabulous, but as eccentric as her and definitely in that category. Always statement necklaces, really interesting things, and she'd find mixed vintage glasses like Christofle and Tiffany, and just really had an eye for detail. She had a gallery wall I remember in her big foyer. She had floor-to-ceiling cool different types of photographs.

"I think at her time, 100 years ago, people weren't doing stuff like that. It was one portrait, and it was of you and that was it. She had grown up in this very beautiful home and seen so many different types of things and had access to such incredible style and taste. So, I think she carried that through. She hasn't touched her bedroom since - I mean a long time, like 30 years. It's literally as relevant as most rooms that I see today. Definitely like an Old-World, sophisticated style for sure, but all of [the decor] are individual pieces that she could have gotten and did with a decorator last week."

On the other side of his family tree, his maternal grandmother exudes an air of sophistication and refinement.

"My grandmother on [my mother's] side is very WASP-y, and had this Old-World elegance. She was like the Jackie O of Westport, Connecticut. She had always captivated a room with her beauty, and her smile, and her style. People used to come to her house. I remember she always told me this and they would come, they would basically make up any excuse in the world just to see her decor and they'd be snapping photos and writing down notes. Because it was the time before cellphones and there's just a slew of things."

The broker has indeed inherited the level of attention these women paid to their respective aesthetics, and he will continue to do so with his own as he makes the transition into the homewares industry. "[I have a] set of plates made from handmade Chinese porcelain that's made in Austria with this red pattern," said Seligman. "I have this dream of hosting the most formal elegant Chinese dinner party served on the fanciest china one could buy and mix it with a very contemporary, almost whimsical napkin and a modern setting. The whole thing can't look like it's formal."

Drawing inspiration from these experiences, Jared Seligman's collection will be designed for those who appreciate the beauty of vintage design and want to incorporate it into their daily lives. It will be a true reflection of his personal style and love for the antique. With a focus on quality, function, and timeless design, Seligman is creating a collection designed to be used and loved in the home.

The associate broker's plan moving forward is to continue exploring research and innovation, delving deeper to identify any gaps in the market, with a focus on creating sets that are as affordable as they are stylish.

"I'm going to do some serious meetings and revisit the prototypes that I have," he said. "I think now after using and buying and renting and exploring all these different types of things as well as registering for them [for my wedding], I think will give me a unique kind of perspective to really envision what it is that I see is missing in the market. From extensive amounts of research, I found a few really amazing types of things that are doing very well and a direction that I would like to go on. But I would love to have sets of china that are affordable. Oftentimes actually, I find the price has nothing to do with style at the end of the day."
