The beginning

Eighteen years at Rose Tarlow Melrose House

Robert Steloff established Trade Secrets for the home in January 2013, after 18 years running the Los Angeles flagship for Rose Tarlow Melrose House.

With an evolving collection, the company specializes in the design and production of original case goods, seating and tables inspired by late 18th and early 19th century furniture, and a variety of home accessories.

The craft

Made with the artisans of Los Angeles

Robert's close relationship with the various artisans, workrooms and showrooms, and his collaborative approach to design, enables mastery in the art of producing furnishings tailored to each client's personal requirements.

Every original design begins as a model or prototype in the workroom. See the models and prototypes, or browse the shop.
