It's my favorite drass.
It's a VINTAGE drass. . ."

They actually have a pretty expensive furniture collection which includes several Charlotte Perriand stools, a Jean Prouvé lounge chair, a George Nakashima "Frenchman's Cove" dining table, Isamu Noguchi Akari lamps, a rare steel leg George Nelson bench, patio chairs and chaises by Hendrick Van Keppel and Taylor Green, and an assortment of Architectural Pottery.... and that's just what I can see in the video, there's probably more.
Those are premium pieces of furniture, with big ticket price tags. Each stool is usually 1500-2000 USD. That dining table usually goes for 12000 USD at auction. Similar Prouve lounge chairs usually go for $20000-$25000.
For me, it was actually kind of refreshing to see all the French modernism. To fill the house with Knoll and Herman Miller, even though it's nice, is not really new.
That bench was at Wright a few years ago:

I'm with the_beloved here,...
I'm with the_beloved here, -Great collection.
And although some of the pieces are French, I'd say that the style still has more of a 'Pacifica' style.
I don't see a Prouve lounge chair anywhere though. Do you mean the Luther Conover chair, with the boomerang wooden sides? I love that chair and in fact, it pretty closely resembles some of Neutra's own chairs, so I think it fits in perfectly...

Thanks the beloved,
I may have jumped the gun with my previous comment as I found it too uncomfortable to sit through the whole clip.
I will try again, but not today, I have a terrible hang over this morning and I fear watching this will push me over the edge.

Oops
I totally confused it with the one below. Thanks Alexander.

Resurrection Chair
Interesting, there is a chair in Katy Rodriguez's 1stdibs showroom that appears to be the love child of both designs:

wow, nicely spotted!
that...
wow, nicely spotted!
that chair does indeed looks related to both of the above chairs. My guess is Prouvé on this one... -or at least European.
Here is the Neutra chair:

Yes. . .
And yet another design (like the well-known Risom webbed low char) that looks like it wants to roll over backwards.
Anybody had a chance to try Neutra's chair ?

Knowing nothing about fashion...
Knowing nothing about fashion design but knowing what I hate does anyone else think these clothes are just shapeless sacks of cheap printed cotton?
Hard to take a design 'star' seriously when the whole house is a sentimental pretentious fashion plate.
Excruciating, its like a theatre set, just a bacdrop to vanity.

I agree Heath, being...
I agree Heath, being completely ignorant of womens fashion and not being completely familiar with the Iconic French pieces on display here I feel like I`m setting myself up for a backlash on this, but I see little in the way of elegance and an interiors that is just pleasing to the eye rather than working with the architecture to creat symbiotic effect.
I`m sure there are some incredibly expensive pieces on display here, and as stand alone items they are very nice, but the overall effect of this collection is just a bit too bland for me.

Heath my friend, some perspective...
I'm sure you've come across people don't know anything about furniture design, and their sentiments about some of the things that we cherish could be similar:
"Knowing nothing about furniture design but knowing what I hate, does anyone else think these "Eames" chairs are just cheap old plastic school chairs?"
You and I both know though, it's not that simple.
H.Moon. No backlash, I respect your taste. If you don't like it, that's fine. For example, I really hate Paul Evans furniture. No matter how expensive it is, it's ugly to me. Ugly.

The clothing seen in the video is an assortment of her collection
of vintage stuff, not her own designs.
Perhaps I'm naive, but I can't help but wonder how someone who owns a couple of vintage clothing stores and a smallish(?) fashion company can afford the swell house and furnishings. (Everyone in the world seems independently wealthy... 'cept me!)

Old money? Old money can...
Old money? Old money can make you such a fascinating person. You mean you get to work in your dream creative field, and can afford a Neutra?

So true....
so very very true....

Indeed...
Old money means 'show and tell' lasts a lifetime.
