Lori Bate founded The Wren as an expression of her great love for art, artifacts, and travel. She travels across the globe, sourcing one-of-a-kind goods for The Wren’s clientele. Professionally trained as an architect and fashion designer, Lori has a keen eye for the spectacular. As the former chairman of the board of the non-profit organization Yo Art!, she hopes to share the world of visual arts with the next generation.
With bright conviction and curiosity for cultural experiences, Lori hopes to be a source of illumination, inspiration, and authority in creative communities—showing up in her unique collections and in our customers’ homes. She draws on her grandmother’s legacy of traveling the world and bringing back gifts from distant lands that tell the tales of how people live in other places. “I couldn’t wait to grow up and travel to experience those same things as my grandmother did,” Lori says.
Today, she brings new treasures home for The Wren’s clients, keeping a few to cherish in her own home stating, “I’m bringing back the best each culture has to offer.”
