London's premier design gallery,
exhibited this stunning chandelier
by Dutch
designer & founder of Studio Molen
at this month's Design/Miami!!!
"City of Light Chandelier," is a series of
105
unique, handcrafted
individually numbered bronze "bells" .....
on a bronze track.
The bell's exterior
and track have an aged patina,
while the bell's interiors,
lite by LCD's,
have the a warm
glow of gold patina.
This amazing fixture would be spectacular ....
in my living room!!!
Actually, it would spectacular in any room,
any where!!!
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!!!!

New York's first

And there is still one day left .....
So, here is my list of my four favorite galleries!!!
My tastes are very eclectic and these international galleries feature
"accessorations" that run the gamut!!!
Including vintage pieces by Charlotte Perriand
and Philip & Kelvin LaVerne .....
and contemporary designs from Sam Baron & Sebastian Brajkovic!!!
I adore exciting, innovative, and energized design .....
no matter what decade!!!
Ukranian designers Valeriy & Ekaterina Kuznwtaov,
have created these divine "scarfy lamps."
The designers use steel frames
and cover them with crocheted lampshades
of Peruvian wool.
Several of the lamps have quirky "short sleeves,"
a decorative touch,
that is also used to change the light bulbs!!!
I love the lamps ....
and am very taken with the wrapped legs!!!
Anyway, winter is coming ......
so the timing for these wooly lamps couldn't be better!!!!
Hall, owned by designer Christopher Hall
is one of Istanbul's chicest shopping experiences!!!
I adore the melange of contemporary and vintage,
furniture, lighting, objects, art,
and interior design.
There were so many things I want to send back to NYC .....
I might even fill a whole shipping container!!!!

Bridgehampton's Comerford Collection,
is shopping mecca for
modern furniture & accessories!!!
Owner Karen Comerford has curated an exciting collection of contemporary furniture and accessories for her eponymous store. She has accented the store's primarily neutral and black palette with a selection of bright colorful prints and solid colored accent pieces that are in sync today's design trends. In addition, there is an interesting collection of lighting and table accessories that are contemporary, but not cold. A wonderful collection of books for both reading & and "accessoration" complete the mood of the store!!! I was especially inspired by her her stunning selection of innovative & interesting outdoor pieces in updated textures, weaves, patterns, and shapes.
I adore the faux straw black/grey/natural stripe
outdoor chair & ottoman ....
it would be a spectacular addition to my patio!!!
My other "must-have" is the sculptural metal basket ......
divine for magazines!!!
An"accessoration supreme"!!!!
