Scott + Cooner

Updated Apr 13, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

This small Texas-based chain carries over 15 Italian brands, including Acerbis, Baleri Italia, Casa Milano, Dema, Fiam Italia, Flexform, Foscarini, Matteo Grassi, Porada, Tre-Pui and Zanotta. The retail store was founded in 1995 by architect Lloyd Scott and interior designer Josette Cooner. The company carries modern European-designed furniture that ranges from well-known brands such as Poliform to ones still fairly new to the US market like Tre-Pui. Scott + Cooner has retail stores located in Austin and Dallas. (via Elements of Living)

Flos

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Although she’s a bit computer-shy, interior designer Sally Sirkin Lewis of Inglewood, California, favors lighting easily found on the Web from the Italian firm Flos. Recently Sirkin chose Flos’s Parentsi lamp for a private residence. “It’s sleek and minimal,” she says—a perfect match for her understated style, which mixes classic design with soft, modern, natural materials. “Spending time in Rome, Milan and Florence turned me on to Italian task lighting—I use it almost exclusively in my work,” Sirkin says. Now, if she’ll learn to love the computer, she won’t need to make the trip again. (via Elements of Living)

Design Public

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

When “design nuts” Drew Sanocki and Sina Djafar launched Edge Modern, a Web-based company dedicated to modern furnishings and bedding, their well-edited offerings quickly won the attention of modernist design devotees like Sherry Black. “I was trying to track down a specific rug for a restaurant client and I needed it in short order,” says the Wilmington, NC, interior designer, who discovered Edge Modern during her search. “After one conversation with Drew and Sina—and no luck with the rug—I trusted them to help me choose another one, which turned out to be perfect.”
Now the pair are flinging open the “doors” of their cyber store to hold an ongoing design town meeting. The expanded and renamed site, www.designpublic.com, will continue to offer selections from both well-known design sources (Blu Dot, Dwell, Angela Adams) and lesser-known ones (Variegated, John Kelly Furniture). But users can also click their way into forums, photo galleries, chats with guest designers, blogs on new products and primers demystifying such subjects as thread counts. “I want the site to be as interactive as possible, one where customers can share information, opinions and resources with one another,” says Sanocki, who has been known to direct clients away from his site and to Ikea for certain products. This kind of openness may explain why Sherry Black and other designers and architects plan to keep up with the ongoing designpublic.com conversation. (via Elements of Living)

Description

When planning the guest bedroom for the owners of a log-and-stone home in the Colorado Rockies, Vail-based designer Melissa Greenauer wanted to create a cozy seating area where visitors could relax, read and soak up the spectacular mountain views. She turned—as she often does—to 1stdibs.com, a designer’s dream resource of antique- and contemporary-furniture dealers in markets from Paris to Los Angeles. Launched by Web entrepreneur Michael Bruno in 2001, the site features seating, lighting, tables, mirrors and other furnishings that are high-end and unique, says Greenauer. Prices are negotiable, she adds, and most designers purchase directly from dealers. For her clients’ guest bedroom, she found two Art Deco chairs with soft rolled arms, a pair of Murano glass sconces and pendant fixtures that lend the space the warm, inviting look she was after. Visitors to the jam-packed site can search for furnishings by city, country of origin, century, dealer, category, designer or price, then store items for purchase in a virtual stockroom. New items are posted every Wednesday. (via Elements of Living)

The Brass Knob

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

“I recently restored two mantels I found at the Brass Knob, and underneath years of paint, there were two bisque angels and an incredible amount of detail,” says Washington, DC, interior designer Beth Peacock. “It’s impossible to find that kind of artisanship in new pieces today.” Peacock relies on the DC shop—and its 9,000-square-foot sister, The Brass Knob Back Doors Warehouse—for many of the projects she oversees, including a recently completed renovation on Capitol Hill for which she tapped the store for five fireplace mantels, not to mention lighting fixtures, door knobs and other hardware for nearly every room in the house.
Those of us outside, or even way outside, the Beltway can go online to view roughly 60 percent of the Brass Knob’s store inventory of architectural antiques. The Web catalog includes hardware, several types of lighting, decorative tiles, ironwork, columns, bath fixtures and stained glass, among other categories—items that date mostly from the mid-1800s through the 1930s. Owners Donetta George and Ron Allan—who Peacock says “could not be more knowledgeable or helpful”—are happy to answer questions, provide detailed digital photographs and ship anywhere.

Classic Lighting Emporium

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

On North Second Street in the Old City neighborhood in Philadelphia, the Classic Lighting Emporium is a dizzying showcase for too many chandeliers, table lamps and sconces to count. The pieces represent a kaleidoscope of styles and eras, and homing in on a potential purchase requires concentration. (via Elements of Living)

Susane R. Lifestyle Boutique

1st to recommend

Description

Located in the heart of the Miami Design District is the Susane R. Lifestyle Boutique. The owner, Susane Ronai, a vivacious redheaded Hungarian, has lived all over the world, and her shop reflects the romance and eclecticism of her various ports of call. Over the course of her 14 years in the Design District, she has built up a loyal following of customers who come to her for period lighting and seating and her large assortment of paintings by abstract expressionist A. Dale Nally. (via Elements of Living)

NiBa

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

NiBa is a showroom opened only last December by Holly Hunt veterans Nisi Berryman and Beth Arrowood. Maybe it’s the sparkling acrylic furnishings by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz or the whimsical chandeliers festooned with feathers and teardrop crystals or the bright hot pillows from Myanmar that Arrowood says they can’t restock fast enough, but walking into NiBa is an instant mood elevator. Carpets are another big seller, and Berryman and Arrowood rolled out their own line last month, featuring natural fabrics to appeal to the more casually inclined South Floridian.

The Antique Lighthouse

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The Antique Lighthouse makes an outing to Manayunk in Philadelphia worthwhile. Even this destination, a compound of former textile mills, requires looking closer, as it’s located several huffing blocks up the hill behind Main Street.
Owner Rollin Wilber isn’t a particularly outgoing guy. But get him talking about his work, restoring lamps from the early electric era or converting late-nineteenth-century kerosene-fueled pieces, and he lights up. During our conversation, he offered to show us the room where he and his staff of six ply their trade. (Ask to see the 1,000-square-foot metal shop that’s also on-site.) Among other large pieces in inventory, a recently restored $21,000, 37-light Maria Teresa chandelier with sine-curve arms was dripping with crystals. (via Elements of Living)

Bahdeebahdu

Updated Apr 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The most spectacular of the North Third Street shops in Philadelphia has to be bahdeebahdu. Here, lighting designer Warren Muller displays one-of-a-kind pieces made of reclaimed products. Vintage children’s toys, glass vials, bedsprings, old tools—no castoff is unaesthetic in Muller’s eyes. Bahdeebahdu’s interior furnishings were selected by R. J. Thornburg, with whom Muller opened the 2,300-square-foot showroom in spring 2002. (via Elements of Living)

Elizabeth Stuart Design

1st to recommend

Description

Middle King (between Market and Calhoun streets) in Charleston, South Carolina has been largely taken over by chain stores, but en route to Upper King, stop in at ESD, Elizabeth Stuart Design. The shop reflects the willingness of owner and interior designer Elizabeth Faith to layer color, style and period into a mix that feels utterly modern. Alongside a sixteenth-century secretary and oversize cork lamps from the 1970s are contemporary dog portraits by Heather LaHaise, cloudscapes by Sean McNamara and richly glazed oyster plates by ceramist Alison Evans.

Urban Electric Company

Description

Urban Electric Co., with its suave logo, theatrical windows and polished manner of displaying wares in a spacious showroom, sends a clear message that history can be a helpmate rather than a handcuff. Historically inspired lamps, sconces and chandeliers by creative director Michael Amato and designers Amelia Handegan, Mark Maresca and Justin Walling suit a contemporary loft in Tribeca every bit as much as a Charleston single house. Every fixture, including copper lanterns by master craftsman John Gantt, is handmade locally. (via Elements of Living)

Mondrian Lamp

Updated Apr 11, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The almost imperceptible profile of Lightyears’ Mondrian lamp, designed by Cecilie Manz, is executed in steel bar and pipe. A molded acrylic collar prevents glare. And a ring, also acrylic, illuminates when the light is on, indicating directions in which the spot can be trained—180 degrees horizontally and 335 degrees vertically, thanks to a ball joint. Also in floor, table, pendant and sconce versions. Available in lacquered white. (via Elements of Living)

In the Ballard district of Seattle is Lucca Great Finds, where vintage and beaded chandeliers seem to cover every square inch of the ceiling. In addition to scented French candles and toiletries from Santa Maria Novella, the 800-year-old pharmacy in Florence, Francine Katz and Peter Riches’s quaint shop is stocked with racks and racks of enchanting papers and reams of colorful ribbons. You can’t leave this place without buying something. (via Elements of Living)

Tableau

Description

Seattle-based Tableau shows owner Karen Olsen’s love of all things fashionable and her flair for mixing mediums—pairing Asian-inspired paper lanterns with hand-painted Provençal furniture, for example. The eclectic shop also carries mismatched tableware, embossed stationery and, my personal favorite, five-inch-tall letters decorated with shimmering glass chips, just like pixie dust.

Britain’s Albioncourt digitally customizes any of the 14 lampshade styles in its collection, whether a classic tapered coolie (Empire or fez), cube with rounded edges, or a shallow tube. For the highest quality production, the company’s website gives clear instructions for customers who supply their own photography. Households without a budding Ansel Adams can choose from Albioncourt’s small archive of original images such as landscapes, flora, food and other subjects. (via Elements of Living)

Davda

Updated Apr 11, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Davda’s London studio has built a reputation for ceramic tableware marked by loving imperfections. Its artist-owners, Israeli-born Mair Davda and his English wife Jo Brickett, also make lighting that have slightly irregular shapes and patterns; material flaws demonstrate the touch of the hand. But perhaps the small collection’s calling card is its love affair with dappled light. Here, the Circle Light’s anodized steel circles emit an amber glow. (via Elements of Living)

UnderCover Lamp

Updated Apr 11, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

With the UnderCover lamp, Le Klint has found a remedy for the same-old-lampshade dilemma. Ludvigsen’s acrylic shade is actually two-in-one: an acrylic outer shade that protects a changeable inner shade. That decorative skin is available in five collections, including Doodle Dot, Marimekko—florals by designers Maija and Kristin Isola, and solid colors. UnderCover makes your fluctuating preference an accessory—and changing trends a cinch. Shades come in diameters of 13 inches or 17 inches. (via Elements of Living)

Virgins 6-LT Chandelier

Updated Apr 11, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The Murano glass-tipped arms of Virgins 6-LT from Lightology capture the curvaceous essence of Art Nouveau. Perhaps the chandelier’s whiplash-like movement owes something to founder Greg Kay’s start in the business, lighting roller discos. Even switched off, the piece shines with a beautifully hand-waxed finish. (via Elements of Living)

Welcome to Blackman Cruz

Updated May 23, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Acutely aware that the movers and shakers of this world want unique homes, antiquarians Adam Blackman and David Cruz have launched their first furniture collection, BC Workshop. "The way to promote individuality is with antiques and pieces that obviously took a great deal of care and time to make," says Blackman. The BC pieces meet that criterion. At once classical and modernist, glamorous and quirky, clean-lined and decorative, the collection includes seating, tables, lighting and accessories. It can be seen in the West Coast showroom and on the Blackman Cruz website. (via Elements of Living)
