Many things can rub right off Crypton, but here’s one we would never want to wipe  away: Hollywood glamour! That’s Phoebe Cates Kline, erstwhile model and actress, wife of actor Kevin Kline, and busy proprietor of Blue Tree, Manhattan’s most eclectic lifestyle store. And by Phoebe’s side is her beloved little rescued mutt, Joe!

Phoebe and Joe are taking a break from helping customers to show off one of Joe’s favorite places to hang out while he’s visiting his Mom at work: a 1950s-era  slipper chair – low, wide, and handsome, not unlike Joe himself – that’s covered in Lipstick  Crypton Suede.  It’s one of several one-of-a-kind furniture items sold exclusively at Blue Tree. These haute home furnishings range in style and period, but they share one thing in common: all have been Cryptonized. Currently available: a Gustavian-style chaise longue with a button-tufted back, done up in Icing and Hershey Crypton Suede … and a Louis XVI oval-back arm chair in Grape Crypton Suede.
