è bella designs

There are a handful of companies that I work with repeatedly because I love the quality and aesthetic of their products – è bella designs is a favorite on this list. The founder, Nicole Linton fuses contemporary themes with ancient Peruvian weaving techniques to create fabulous pillows, throws and rugs that will complement any interior.  Working with only natural fibers – primarily alpaca – is one of Nicole’s trademarks and is what allows her to create rich textures and vibrant colors that encapsulate her signature style.

Lesley Anton Handmade Ceramic Lighting

Lesley Anton creates handmade ceramic lighting that has a minimal organic quality.  When first seeing her Barnacle Pendant in a showroom I was visiting, I was stopped in my tracks.  I knew that I had come across a very unique and timeless piece.  These lamps and pendants are not just lighting – they are art.  Lesley is truly talented at creating beautiful handmade pieces that are a one of a kind.

Voliere Tambour Drum Table Lamp by Mathieu Challieres

This whimsical little lamp can be found at the Conran Shop in NY. I could not pass this up - as I love birds! Floor, table, and pendant options are available. The only problem was deciding which one to buy... They're all great!

Wingren Sculpture

Jerry Wingren is a master at his craft.  The sculptures Jerry creates are derived from natural materials - wood, stone and metal. His pieces can be placed indoors or outdoors and have a powerful presence in their raw simplicity.  I especially love his Resting Stones (below) and Totems.
