Marble! It’s not going anywhere this year. I can’t wait to see how people will use it in the coming months. This dining table called KST , designed by Berlin-based Livius Härer and Ada Ihmels, is a nice juxtaposition of the marble top and bright yellow-painted steel base that’s bent in all kinds of fun directions. It’s kind of pipe-like, no?

Since the weather isn’t doing much to satisfy our warm weather cravings, we’ll have to rely on these fun and festive Beach Ball Shades from TOBYhouse. Aren’t they bright and cool?
Each modern pendant light is made from a real inflatable beach ball that has been rendered solid on the inside to be a hard surface with a smooth white finish. Each lamp is made to order.
I can see them in a sleek modern beach house with a whimsical vibe, or in a funky restaurant by the shore. A chic hair salon or retail could definitely rock these lamps in their decor.
What do you think of these Beach Ball Shades – where do you see them?

Happy Friday!
This week’s Weekly Six is an interesting one – several of the items pair up with each other. Do you find yourself drawn to similar things all at once??
1 – Flannel + sequins = a great match!
2 – More sequins – this time in a DIY for elbow patches.
3 – Lots of color in this unique modern dining table.
4 – The sofa, the artwork – everything about this room is fantastic.
5 – It’s always great to find healthy ways to make some favorites. First we have healthy gummy bears….
6 – Then we have pizzas with portobello mushrooms instead of carb-filled crust!
Have a great weekend!

Workspaces have been going through a huge shift in recent years with more people collaborating and working in open concept offices, making it necessary for multifunctional and adaptive furnishings. Knoll partnered with Antenna Design to create a new product line called Activity Spaces that let’s you customize your own flexible work environment. I love the Toboggan Chairs (image above) where the raised surface can be used as a desk, armrest, or backrest. Refuge They believe that there are five “go to” spaces that are places, “for temporary group and individual work” that include Refuge, Enclave, Team Meeting, Assembly, and Community. Refuge In addition to Knoll’s already iconic line of office staples, they’ve added some additional products to the repertoire that work in conjunction with the old favorites.

Who says a chair has to have legs? Even a rocker doesn’t need them thanks to two narrow skids that allow for rocking back and forth, right on the ground. The FEDRO Floor Rocker, by Lorenza Bozzoli for DEDON , sports the skids that make it rock while keeping it super lightweight, portable and stackable. Colibri The Milanese Bozzoli brings her fashion and textile background to the design with its woven bands of colors that were inspired by the chair’s bird-like form
