Brooklyn – Furniture company An Aesthetic Pursuit has created an Airbnb rental house in Maine with furniture and products available to purchase.
Pieces Home is a shoppable stay that ‘is an experience designed to uplift traditional Airbnb stays’, as an alternative to outdated furniture showrooms. Available to rent via Airbnb, the property has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and both indoor and outdoor living spaces – all featuring furniture available for guests to buy.
Among the colourful space's purchasable products are rugs, chairs and tables, including pieces from Swiss furniture brand Vitra, and designers Jasper Morrison and Alvar Aalto. Jenny Kaplan, co-founder of An Aesthetic Pursuit, says: 'This affords our guests a unique opportunity to fully immerse themselves in a space filled with the beautifully designed products from our incredible group of partners and from each of our Pieces collections.’
