woven by vincent sheppard

belgian-based vincent sheppard is offering up a new twist on woven furniture that i really like. not your typical rattan which in many ways can look cheap or short term, vincent sheppard's pieces are modern, sleek, "imaginative designs that combine tradition and modernity"...
there is a really neat textural element that woven furniture or light shades like these add to any space, residential or commercial. i have always felt that not only adding in texture to your spaces, but mixing textures, mingling a variety of coarser or finer textures to spaces/places keeps it interesting, it allows your eye to flow in and around a space and feel different things. i love that!

i also love this line. it's fresh, elegant and utilitarian all rolled into one great design ball. to read more about vincent sheppard's creative design timeline, head here, & enjoy!

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
try to stay positive! just saying...
enjoy!

from tiny islands

i find myself lately pairing down, minimalizing my wardrobe, my interiors, my color palette interests and yes, my jewelry ownership. and i'm most especially attracted to subtle, simple and suggestive pieces. i absolutely love this line...offered up "from tiny islands", it satisfies all that i'm drawn to right now, shape, line, pattern, overall seriously clean design...
the aim of from tiny islands as stated on their about page is to "speak of solitude and freedom, of quiet resolution" in the form of jewelry design. those words are so beautiful at times. and each of the pieces offered up by from tiny islands speaks to their overall design personality.

from tiny islands also hopes to remind those drawn to their jewelry to enjoy them as keepsakes. all of these are on my current keepsake wishlist. what about you? are you coveting a more minimal jewelry design line? or are you still breaking out the big earrings now and then? (hey, there's a time for everything, right?! ha!) enjoy...

monday impact

why not start of the week with some impact furniture? i have just the line, offered up by the french luxury design line of hervé van der straeten, chock full of "bold variations of form, contrasting materials and defiant, pure volumes"....
(via)
hervé van der straeten first became known for his jewelry design and collection...but has since gained considerable attention for his works in bronze, glass, porcelain as well as a variety of other exquisite materials incorporating those into a very special furniture and lighting design line.

in my opinion there are times when designing residential or commercial interiors, that the space actually begs for a wow piece, something special to take center stage, or to ground the space, or to throw it off, perfectly. hervé van der straeten's designs are simply wow, in material, in design, in the overall presence each offers to any space. i love that! enjoy...
