all together, kelly wearstler interiors are a lot to take in. there’s an abundance of l.a. glitz and glam. sensory overload. it can be just a little too…too.
but wait…dissect. take the components on their own and you find fabulous separates. the soufflé chair. one or a pair. ruched lambskin leather. luxe. poof perfection!
okay…was this guy brilliant or what?
an industrial designer and unsung hero who worked for george nelson associates. by day mr. harper had a hand in designing some of the most iconic mid-century items for nelson and herman miller. all of these — clocks, marshmallow sofa — were credited to nelson and the firm.
but by night….harper made paper sculptures. ahhhhh….
harper’s sculptures recently set records at auction. who knew?
it bags come and it bags go. but really, if you’re looking for a classic that’ll stand the test of time — and if you’re not…you should be — it’s all about the speedy. pricey, but not too. neither too big nor too small. welcome to a ‘just right’ goldilocks moment. she doesn’t scream ‘i’m a designer handbag’, she just sighs, ‘i’m fashionable and smart’…and perfectly utilitarian. guaranteed to be around long after the it bag of the year. put her on your wish list. hurry.
three words…believe the hype.
…and get the book for a non-frivolous summer beach read.
the ro chair from spanish designer jaime hayon is an alternative to the ubiquitous womb, egg, or eames lounge chair. introduced in 2013 and available from ‘the republic’ of fritz hansen, for me, it was love at first sight. it’s a wingback with a contemporary sensibility and perfect for reading. the ‘blinders’ allow just the right amount of cozy privacy. sexy, organic, and available in myriad fabric and leather choices for her or him.
