Fine craft collection with no ribbon-necked geese or heart-shaped toilet paper dispensers.. The Space
Decorative crafts and modern furniture occupy this narrow gallery, sharing space with some of the Warehouse District's most beautiful and original jewelry designs, delicate glass works and ceramics. It's fairly easy to miss the tiny Ariodante, since it's at the very edge of the artsy neighborhood and is on the opposite side of the street from most of the area's other galleries.

The Collection
Visiting this space is worth the search, even if you just want to dream about filling your home with expensive pieces from its streamlined collection of tables, desks and chairs. Most of the work comes from Louisiana and New Orleans artists, but don't expect to find the down-home look common in most craft furniture; here the work is clean, fluid and beautiful to look at.
