Recently in “1950's Furniture”
François Laffanour's Gallerie Downtown's booth
at Design/Miami was the most incredible installation at the show!!!!
This Paris gallery has a broad collection of work from
French designer Jean Proivé ......
& Laffanour reconstructed, as the centerpiece of his booth,
an enormous overhead structure
that was a section of a school designed by Prouvé,
originally located outside of Paris!!!
It was over the top and amazing!!!
According to Laffanour,
one of his client's has two of these divine structures
over his swimming pool!!!!!
That is definitely the world's
"supreme ultimate accessoration"!!!!
Unimaginably over-the-top & to die for!!!!

I am thrilled by the addition of the "world of design"
to the Artnet's on-line auction site!!!
I've decided to print the press release verbatim,
as it clearly gives all of the details!!!
Artnet auctions announced the introduction of design auctions to be held alongside the existing auctions of paintings, sculpture, prints and photographs. The inaugural sale featured a collectible 20th century decorative arts and design, as well as contemporary design from an international roster of artists and designers. Included were historical highlights by Marcel Breuer, Greta Grossman, Pierre Jeanneret, Pierre Paulin, Hans Wegner, Gio Ponti and Ettore Sottsass and contemporary works by Ron Arad, Gaetano Pesce, Maria Pergay, Marc Newson and Tokujin Yoshioka.
New auction lots of design will go live each week, providing a consistent and curated online auction marketplace. The department will focus on all periods of 20th and 21st century design, including Secessionist, Art Deco, French modernism, American mid-century, Scandinavian and Italian modernism, Post-modern and 1980s design,American Studio furniture and Contemporary, as well as glass and ceramics from all periods; the department will also promote specific themes and categories where greater market attention is needed.
According to new department head, Brent Lewis, former Christie's auctioneer and Gallery Director at Moss, "The opportunities presented to buy and sell a curated selection of design via auction with the ease of artnet auction's online platform are very exciting. The flexibility and efficiency this model provides will open up design to a new audience, as well as providing established collectors and dealers a viable source and outlet; all under the banner of artnet, one of the world's largest art and design communities and the major resource for art and design, information, news; and now, access to both primary and secondary markets."

One of the foremost design stores in London, Mint, is presenting an exhibition titled 'Homeworks' this week. Showcasing works from over 40 designers "which reinvent or transform everyday objects into captivating and provocative home pieces." Complementing the installation, they have commissioned 13 emerging designers to re-work 13 identical vintage 1950's Danish chairs from a shipyard canteen.
The chairs are amazing and I can't pick a favorite .......
do you think it's possible to add another 13 chairs to my living room???
My friend Ani Antreasyan is an "accessorator's" dream!!!
She is a fabulous "garden guru" and the purveyor of all things "accessoration" .....
from antique stone Turkish garden pieces to 1950's tables & chairs ...
and all things in between!!!
Part of her collection can be seen this weekend at the Bridgehampton Antique Show at the Community Center ...... where her booth is an eclectic mix of the most stunning design elements and the way they are "put-together" is an inspiration for all "design divas!!!"
This is my PERFECT find from the NY Gift Show .......... child size chairs by the design icons of the 20th Century!!!!!! Imagine a baby 1956 Eames lounge, a tot's 1958 Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen, or Mies Van Der Rohe's 1927 Barcelona chair in mini ........... and that's just the beginning!!!!!!! This collection is available from the Australian company, Little Nest. The brainchild of Samantha Firestone, it is now distributed in the U.S. by Los Angeles representative Karen Alweil Studio.
These designer's are the best of this century, the most influential and exceptionall!!!!! But, the idea of creating these iconic designs in miniature is over-the -top ...... a giant WOW!!!
I was visiting two of my "tastiest and chicest" friends this past weekend ...... and I fell madly in love with this divine chandelier!!!!! It was designed by world-famous Venetian designer Gino Sarfatti for his company Arteluce, started in the early 1940's, it became the international reference point for the "modern architectural movement" in lighting. Sarfatti designed and produced over 400 amazing lighting designs over a thirty year period. His company, the foremost of the era, was innovative in materials, production, technologies, light sources, technical lighting effects, and design aspects. Movement was an important element in his designs; standing lamps and wall mounted lights, frequently incorporated articulated metal arms, often in brass. Sarfatti designed all forms of lighting ...... chandeliers, floor lamps, wall lamps, table lamps, and sconces ....... usually including metals in his pieces. And, it is important to remember Sarfatti often incorporated color without fear .... the sign of a true "accessorator"!!!!!!!!!
