The Hood modular lamp, designed by Form Us With Love for ateljé Lyktan , makes a bold statement with the large petal-like pieces it’s made from. The design conquers the desire to concentrate light onto a specific area in hopes of shutting distractions out. It’s also customizable to any size work, conference, or dining table you hang it over. Made of compressed industrial felt modules, you can build the Hood unit to your desired size starting with the basic corner panels. With communal areas often times being open and bare, Hood acts almost like an emotional shelter or a protective shield.

The duo Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri make up Something , a design partnership based in London and Verona, Italy, and their latest creation is a lamp called Naica for Ligne Roset . Inspired by those old carbide lanterns that were used by miners, the lamp is a bit cave-like itself with a hollowed out space that softly reflects the light. The ceramic fixture diffuses the light that way creating a soft, surrounding glow. The lamp is available in solid white or with a red-colored cavity, both with a textile-covered cable that doubles as the handle.

Froc is a new high chair by Slovenian company Rimarket and design studio Gigodesign . But not only is this a nice-looking high chair, it’s also adjustable in more than one way: the seat and footrest heights and the backrest position are all able to be adjusted. The removable safety belt will keep babies and toddler safe but when removed, make older kids feel like they’re sitting at the table like an adult (until they’re 10). The solid leg with four extensions keeps the chair nice and sturdy, too.

An asymmetrical, geometric mirror that’s full of equilateral triangles? Shut up and take my money! The latest offering from Enzyma is the Gianluca Sgalippa-designed mirror called Derma and it’s full of all of those things and more. The irregular hexagonal mirror situates itself between two modules that feature fluorescent segments of color within the grooves of the triangle grid. The medium and anthracite grays of the frame not only make the blackened mirror pop, but the bright bursts of neon as well.

I love how wine collections grow organically as we pick up bottles from time to time, but the problem lies in where to store them. You gather more than three or four on your counter and you’re starting to look like a messy lush. Luckily STACT has us covered, or at least our walls covered. The modular wall units are a modern and affordable solution to store your wine to avoid cluttering up your kitchen counters.

This week is both Passover and Holy Week – important holidays for many religions. Being that it is almost Easter and Spring started last week, this time of year always makes me think of pastel colors. More specifically, today I’m thinking about pastels in home decor.
What are your feelings on pastels in home decor? For adults. Not nurseries! I love a soft baby pink when mixed with light greys, but aside from that color combo, I haven’t thought too much about it. Until today. And I have to admit – I’m loving these rooms above. Pastels can often have a traditional, grandma-ish feel, but if done right, they are stunning.
How about that second room above with the floral print? In the fashion world, those florals are popping up everywhere. At first, I thought I hated that room, but every time I look at it again, I love it. That pink sofa is perfect – it’s modern structure prevents the room from being too Parisian or traditional.
What are your thoughts on pastels in home decor??
