Found
Ruth Davis
Houston
A true master of the mix, Ruth Davis opened Found in 2007 to share a menagerie of furnishings, accents and gifts spanning different eras and provenances with fellow design lovers. Scouring markets near and far—from High Point, North Carolina, and New York City to France, Italy and Belgium—she emphasizes a time-honored philosophy to make her vision come to life: “I buy what speaks to me.” In her Houston showroom, a traditional armchair clad in a vibrant Pierre Frey fabric may be seated near a curvy midcentury sofa, all embellished by artwork from local and international artists. “The combined effect of the different elements is greater than the sum of their parts,” she reflects. Lately, Davis has also been developing her very own Found Collection, collaborating with artisans she discovers via social media or at markets to create ceramic, metal and marble pieces, while also working on an exciting new upholstery line.
