STAINED GLASS
Stained Glass by Adrienne Wells
VENINI BOLLE BOTTLES
I have been in obsessed with these bottles forever... I first noticed them in Venice. I can't stop thinking about them. Designed and crafted by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968 for Venini. Available at Moss.
PORCELAIN FIGURES
This handcrafted Porcelian hedgehog fish, designed by Luise Terletzki-Scherf, 1958 is part of a my zoo series by Nymphenburg.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
These were on my desert plate at the Farmington Country Club. They are super simple and they tasted good. I espesially love the texture of the ginger men. Normally I don't like sugar, or ginger bread cookies.
FLOCKS POUFS
Flocks Poufs by the designer/artist Christien Meindertsma. The pouf can be
used as a seat, occasional table, ottoman or even as a purely organic sculpture
Each one comes with a tag that indicates which sheep the wool came from.
Available at Design Within Reach.
WOODEN BIRDS
Wooden Birds by Kristian Vedel, 1959 available at Karkula.com
KARA WALKER
THE OVERWHELMING WORLD OF DESIRE
I originally saw this sculpture by Marc Quinn in gardens of the Venice Guggenheim.
