NEW YORK —

The Matteo boutique at ABC Carpet & Home celebrated its opening with a party on Dec. 13th.

"It's just a welcome change for us," said Rita Roffe, dmm, home furnishings, ABC Carpet & Home. "The shop has been incredible. It's a different kind of lifestyle; we're going after a different kind of customer."

Matteo president Matthew Lenoci said that the shop has "been fantastic. We've been very pleased with both the results and the response." He added that the hot colors for his products have been red, chocolate and periwinkle, and the company is now expanding into furniture, upholstery fabrics and, come April, sleepwear.

Matteo took over the space that formerly housed the Calvin Klein boutique. ABC still carries Calvin Klein bedding.
