A house with a Santa Fe story
On a hillside east of the Plaza, Sunmount Sanatorium opened its doors in 1906. It was built as a place to heal, and it became something more. By the 1920s Sunmount was the heart of Santa Fe's creative life, where writers, artists and musicians gathered for readings, lectures and long conversations. Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay read poetry there. A young architect named John Gaw Meem set up his first studio in one of its cottages, then went on to shape the Santa Fe style the world knows today.
Sunmount House borrows that name and that spirit: a place where good design, good company and high-desert light come together.
What we do
We curate modern Southwest goods for the home and table: ceramics, textiles, glassware, serving pieces and gifts, chosen from independent makers, small brands and distinctive suppliers. Not themed decor. Not souvenirs. Pieces with warmth, texture and quiet character that look as right in Chicago or Maine as they do in Santa Fe.
How we choose
- Would it belong in a beautiful Santa Fe boutique?
- Does it bring the high desert home without turning a room into a theme?
- Is it made well enough to keep for years?
- Would we put it in our own home, or give it as a gift?
If the answer is no, it doesn't make it onto our shelves.
The resolana
In Northern New Mexico villages, the resolana is the sunny, south-facing wall where neighbors gather out of the wind to talk, share news and pass along what they know. That idea of gathering runs through everything we choose, and it is why our entertaining collection is called The Resolana Table.
Curated in Santa Fe. Designed for anywhere.
