The Residents
We are devoted to design that is resourceful, sustainable, innovative, and inspirational. We value the people who imagine and produce these designs and work to communicate their stories. The design we represent supports the communities in which it is produced, enriching the lives of its producers and collectors.

By selecting objects that we feel passionate about, we become attached to them, making them fragments of our history, to be cared for and handed down. We believe in the power of consumers to make choices that better the world through purchasing design that is thoughtful, functional and well-crafted.

We pride ourselves in offering products that celebrate the makers, respect the sourcing of materials and will have enduring value to the collectors. Working remotely has become the most convenient way for clients to access our staff with questions and requests. Schedule an in-person meeting to confirm finishes and product selection or request by mail.

Been working with Claudia over the past 15 years on various projects and I have to say she has an eye for design! A great colorist, coupled with her super keen design sense, it's been an absolute pleasure working with her. She's a great listener and accommodates to ones personal taste. We value her knowledge and viewpoint when it comes to the art of design. Her professional suggestions have never steered us wrong and heightened the appeal of every job we hired her for. My wife and I would not hesitate to use her again.

I was lucky enough to work with Claudia at The Residents. I called from New York because I was unable to get in touch with any Hay retailers in New York (go figure). I randomly chose SF and again, was lucky enough to get Claudia. I was working on behalf of a client for an international order and things were getting complicated; but Claudia stuck with it and got all the information needed. Unfortunately, we were not able to move forward with the purchase solely based on turnaround time out of her hands - but based on her support, communication and above and beyond problem solving, I would work with
