retegui & marble

i'm not typically drawn to marble as a design medium, i often find it too hard and cold. but the french design company retegui softens it somehow, everything that they create is quietly, softly, stunning...

see more of what retegui is doing with marble here, if you like what you see already. enjoy!

optical lighting by lee broom

i'm head over heels for this "optical light" designed by british product & interior designer lee broom...

the "op art graphic patterns are the inspiration for this modern pendant light," and lee chooses materials such as opaque glass and black satin spun steel at the core in this particular design. oh, and if you are enamored with his optical line, there's more. waaaaay more to admire and wish for with regard to lighting but also furniture. (he's even been awarded by the queen!) there is much that is very organic about lee's designs, lots of round, fluid lines and shapes.

but to me, it is the line, in every piece lee creates, that steels the show. he utilizes line in careful and interesting ways. they draw you in, on every visual level. he designs line in motion, still, off center, & layered. i love that! enjoy...

moroccan embroidery love

lrnce is a belgian-based fashion label founded in 2013 by laurence leenaert. her fabrics "are inspired by the cults and rituals of tribes and their recycling of items." i'm particularly drawn to the moroccan wool embroidered pieces...

those pillows! enjoy...

wardrobe inspired.

i've long followed her site, f***it...going to new york, and today is no exception for continuous wardrobe inspiration...

the intoxicating neutral color palette of it all, of how she makes black look soft, of how simple yet completely put together each outfit is. every time. just saying...enjoy!
