Via th NYT blog and the Tages Anzeiger I recently discovered Arthur Rooks – Zurich’s very own Mix Meister.

American born Arthur is the man behind quintessentia.com. A home furnishing website you’d expect to be based everywhere but in Zurich. For all of you out there who know, that the term “eclectic” was not only coined for music, Arthur provides the answer.

Everybody else… feel free to stay with your USM shelf….

I recently purchased some items from Mister Rooks… and that’s my only “eclectic complaint”; the service was impeccably Swiss, simply swift and hassle free. Almost boring… Keep it up Arthur!

Quintessentia is an online treasure trove not to be missed.
