OTTO, located at 409 Warren Street in Hudson NY, specializes in handmade Turkish imports for the home. Russell Hatch is the owner of the new store.

“I’ve always appreciated the beauty and vibrant colors of traditional Turkish ceramics”, says Hatch. “On my last trip to Turkey, though, I was captivated also by the novel art glass objects that were sold in several shops around Istanbul.”
Hatch’s partner, Michael Morrissey, is the developer and manager of OTTO. Morrissey thought a collection of Turkish handmade goods would be a unique addition to the Hudson retail environment. Morrissey has traveled to Turkey for many years, and chose all of the merchandise for the store, “When I have decorated my own homes, I’ve often gravitated toward Turkish designs”, says Morrissey, “Turkish wares have a classic beauty that can fit into any period décor from the most modern urban loft spaces to classic country houses.”

OTTO features both traditional and modern Turkish wares. Some traditional items include hand-painted ceramics, woven throws, and kilim pillows. OTTO also features handblown and painted glass objects that reflect a more contemporary style, as well as some novelty items, including evil eyes and period movie posters.
