...Le Matin...






Lovely minimalist vases and bowls from Rupert Spira @ Matin Gallery. Delishously wabi-sabi. Wouldn't it be cool if you could commission him to do a custom piece with your favorite quote, text, or song lyrics? mmmmmmm yesssss

...More from Ochre...


How cute are these little leather bookends from Ochre? Completely different from any other bookends I have ever seen-- tasteful, modern, but warm at the same time...

...Light Drizzles for a Drizzly Day...


A beautiful Light Drizzle Chandelier and Snooze Lounge Chair (which is exactly what I would like to be doing on a rainy day like this...) from Ochre. On top of all that, a very nice photo-- I love the muted colors. Makes me want to light a fire and drink some tea.

...Calder meet Pucci...


Fantastic light fixture by David Weeks for Ralph Pucci. It extends 9' from arm to arm and drops a dramatic 7' from the ceiling. What an Alexander Calder mobile would look like if it got together with a chandelier and had magnificent babies.

...Concrete Mentality...






Chicago designer, Jan Jander's collection of cast-concrete furniture began as an grad school architecture project and morphed into a line of modern furnishings and light fixtures with a cool industrial, but organic touch. Chairs and benches boast custom molded seats that conform to the clients own behind! Each piece is custom made, hand-mixed, hand-poured, and comes stamped with the designers name in braille.
