Hugh

Next door to Nora, Hugh is stylish and contemporary, filled with exceptional home furnishings, personal accessories and
gift items. Japanese molded-plywood drink coasters, leather-stitched flasks and wire-framed end tables are just some
of the tasteful offerings to be found at Hugh. Originally started as a pop-up shop “tribute to classic bachelor-pad style”
in 2009, Hugh opened its permanent location in 2012, featuring a cool vintage vibe reflected in its goods. While we
swooned over the buttery Gus Modern leather couches (shown), we fell in love with a sleek, modern desk clock for the
hubby. 4240 Cass Ave., Suite 107, Detroit. (313) 831-4844; lovehughlongtime.com.

ment of housewares and barware,
many Michigan made. Rail and
Anchor’s biggest sellers, however,

Found Objects

On a cool Monday morning,
we followed the delicious
scent wafting from a collection
of Thymes candles through
the doors of Found Objects
— and the store is equally deli-
cious, brimming with Barefoot
Dreams pajama sets, Monrow
sweatshirts and Sugarfina can-
dies. Started by mother-son
team Laurie and Zachary Kay,
Found Objects has a delightful
selection of clothing, baby and
kids’ pieces, home décor and
gift items. It also carries an
impressive selection of Corbe
pottery, made by a husband-
and-wife duo in Detroit, which
makes the perfect hostess gift.
Shown: Chaser Eyelash Tee.
