We have a clue about Furniture

For this week’s product pick, we’ve got a beautiful and fabulous modern chandelier from Italian lighting company SLAMP.

The Ginetta Prisma is made of iridescent polycarbonate, which has been made into a thin design representing a more traditional chandelier model. It uses a halogen bulb in the center that radiates throughout the polycarbonate. From that second picture, you can really see the glow that emits throughout the tips of the chandelier.

I can see this glamourous piece in a super chic restaurant or hotel lobby. Where do you see a stylish modern light such as the Ginetta Prisma?

While previously British designer Faye Toogood made mostly one-off pieces, the Batch series is a small production “batch” of design products that make her work more accessible. The series explores clean geometric forms and simple honest materials. Element Table (this reminds me a little of some pieces I saw by Massimo Vignelli while at the Vignelli Center for Design Studies ) has simple tinted glass atop three ash “elements” that are basic shapes: a square, circle and rectangle. The spade is an icon of rural life in the English countryside and the majority of these pieces are named after the Spade: Spade Chair is made of ash and has simple milking stool bottom with a gardening tool-style handled back. The Spade Side Table is turned from a mono block of wood

Babele is a playful, self-produced lamp from brand new design studio based in Ivrea, Italy called MID (manifattura italiana design) . Their starting point was a classic abat-jour silhouette, which they played around with: disassembling it in plain sections, shuffling and putting them back in order, creating  and defining light gaps.

Black interior doors. Such an interesting concept. I’ve never actually seen or thought about black interior doors until I saw them on Pinterest a few days ago.

Against glossy white molding, I love the way the black pops. One home I saw painted the doors facing the hallway black and kept the interior (facing the bedrooms and bathrooms) white, which adds a contrast and element of surprise.

Is there any other color you can imagine painting your interior doors? Other than white or ivory, of course! I’m not sure I can…maybe a dark glossy navy but I would still probably prefer black. How about you?

Gone away are traditional figurines or your grandmother’s not-so-exciting tea set, and replaced with beautiful, modern designs, oftentimes inspired by her Japanese heritage. Now back to that tea set… The Drip Tease collection might be a classic looking tea set in form, but this one has a bit of a contemporary twist. Drip Tease teapot in gold Each piece in the set comes complete with playful drips of “tea” represented in precious gold and platinum

Over the weekend, I spent some time perusing the LA Furniture Store website, and I came across some seriously cool and interesting furniture. What really caught my eye while I was browsing the site was the many different styles of beds they offer.

When you think of a bed, the most essential part of the bed is where you sleep – on the mattress! But when you really think about it, there is so much creativity that can be had with the headboard or footboard – or even the shape of the bed. The variety of shape of beds is evidenced in the round bed above – simple and circular, yet totally different than most beds as we know them.

As far as headboards go, the variety there is endless – from shape, length, materials – there are so many different headboards out there. I really like the tufted leather one above because its large, looks like an oversized sofa and is just glamorous overall.

The real question is, if you had to choose between these two beds, which would you rather? The sleek round bed or the oversized tufted glam bed?

Personally, I’m rooting for the glam!
