High Low: Jean Prouve

Jean Prouve developed utilitarian home designs in post World War II Europe.  He has developed many iconic designs including "The Standard Chair' below. Today his designs are sold at auctions for $5K. The design, in a similar way, can be yours for just $125. My friends over at VOLO Designs have tons of great offerings. Check them out here.

Seen: pairs of chairs

Some things are just better when they come in pairs : )

Found these babies in the Valley. Contact me if you are interested : )

Brazilian designer, Martin Eisler. Available at Thomas Hayes Gallery

These vintage aero dynamic leather chairs were probably first designed in the 1960's. You can find similar chairs at Restoration Hardware - the 'Rocket Chair'

Seen: Beauty in Nature

I always look to nature for inspiration. It is everywhere and only a moment from being noticed.

Obsession: Details

It's all in the details. I've said it a million times. For me, interior design isn't about a foray of color or graphic nothingness. The magic happens in a contrasting welt on a chair or a subtle shape that speaks volumes. And if that detail, carefully thought out and meticulously planned, also has added functional value, that is perfection.
