All things analog: Why designer and heir to a New York furniture empire Eric Villency still finds inspiration in the old days.
Eric Villency—the grandson of furniture magnate Maurice Villency and son of the mixed-media artist Rowann Villency—turned the furniture empire his grandfather built in the depression era into a full-service design firm specializing in everything from interiors to product design.
