When Ilon Specht was a creative director in NYC she alleviated the stress by collecting antiques. Constantly. "If it was beautiful, and I had a place for it, I bought it. And, if I didn't have a place for it, I bought it." But she couldn't decorate as fast as she could hunt and gather. So, in 2000, Hacienda was born, dedicated to diversity of beauty. Run by Martin Sierra. And filled by Ilon.
