Children are lucky. They have so much more imagination than we do. They are inspired by little things, the kind we see as unimportant. That’s exactly why only people who are imaginative and inspired will understand the greatness of Reed & Barton’s snow globes and musicals.

The Rook table lamp is one of the highlights of Blu Dot’s new collection of home furnishing. This unique lamp is a playful light fixture with a wide and chunky three-legged, solid walnut wood base with an off-white linen shade and a gray 80” cloth cord.
At first glance it looks very simple but the proportion of the stand and the play of the color contrast between the dark wood and the light shade give it a modern sleek look with a warm feel to it. The Rook has also a playful quality because you can place it on three legs with its shade pointed up, or balance it on a single edge with the shade cantilevered to the side.

I love the 2D:3D collection from Blu Dot. This clever collection is based on the concept of origami: to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, without the need for cutting or gluing. Sounds simple? The difference is that this creative group has managed to do this with metal.
Blue dot was founded in 1997 by three college friends who shared a passion for art, architecture, and design. Their goal was to bring good design to as many people as possible by creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. In their own words: “the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Our job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible.” And there is no doubt that their 2D:3D storage and organizing collection is in line with this mission.

Inspiration is a mysterious thing. It could come to us while we’re doing something completely ordinary or observing an everyday event. Either way, once we get inspired, magic happens!
This is exactly the case with the Front Page Magazine Rack from Kartell. A sudden puff of wind riffles the pages of a newspaper was the inspiration for this unique magazine rack. By capturing this moment of riffling pages, eternal life were given, turning a “regular” item into something interesting, creative and inspiring.

I love the way certain elements complete each other, like wood and light for example; when put together they’re like yin and yang, presenting harmony and softness. The Stilt Lamp, from Blu Dot, has the same effect.
Whether as a floor lamp or a table lamp, this unique lighting fixture features slender Walnut veneer legs pirouette open to form a structural tripod base. A crisp white linen shade and a 80” red cloth-covered cord complete the entire picture-perfect combination, spreading soft light on a side table or in a corner of a room.

The Grid Vase, from Gaia & Gino, is the proof that with the right inspiration and a most sophisticated design, a so-called ordinary item, could stand alone and serve as a stylish piece to decorate your home with.

When you’re decorating a room, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to fill it with too many pieces of furniture to get the complete look. Sometimes, one piece can achieve the same effect. The Callum Chairside End Table is exactly that – A gorgeous end table designed to fit in any home decor.
The rich veneer is well covered in a dark brown finish that elegantly highlights the much unique cantilever design. With plenty of storage space and casters, this end table is as functional as it is stylish, and the best thing is it’s quite compact which makes it ideal for small spaces.
