Julie’s Favorite Find

The Sea Urchin Chandelier by Ngala is my favorite find. It is featured in our Chicago showroom in Cream-Stone Leather. This chandelier is handcrafted by artisans who have enhanced their craft over many years. Most of Ngala’s products are sourced from family-owned businesses, with the majority of whom are women-owned and women-led.

The chandelier’s varying lengths create a soft silhouette that feels sculptural and elegant from every angle. There are a variety of unique leather colors that allows for a more personalized and distinctive design statement. I love that Ngala combines hand craftsmanship with ethical and local partners that result in both high quality and beautiful products.

The Bubble Chair and Ottoman by Bracci is my favorite find. This modern club swivel chair is available in leather only and offered in some of the finest Italian leathers. There are 2 stitch thicknesses to pick from and you can even do a contrasting stitch.  The chair is also available as a swivel glider or in a non swivel version.

I love the clean lines and sharp design. It is a wonderfully comfortable chair.

The 05801 Trend Fabric is my favorite find this month. It is a 54” wide Paisley pattern velvet fabric and it’s in the cleanable performance category. It is 100% polyester & exceeds 51,000 double rubs and is available in 3 colors.

I love the ornate traditional look of this pattern. The colors are rich and give a muted vintage-inspired scheme. The pattern is very busy and tightly packed, creating a luxurious, tapestry-like effect with almost no negative space. The texture is soft and would make any upholstery beautiful.

The Roxy Would Swivel Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find this month. Originally designed in 1965 by Milo Baughman, this chair is a modern classic. Featuring a walnut wood base, button tufting and a unique swivel-tilt mechanism, Roxy Would is a timeless lounge chair for all spaces.

I love this piece because it works with modern and transitional styles.

The Loggia Sofa from Lane Venture‘s Hemmingway Collection is my favorite find this month. It features hand-woven synthetic wicker weave over premium powder-coated aluminum. It is shown in our Troy location in a Honey finish and is available in any Lane Venture outdoor fabric.

This is a favorite of mine because it is as stylish as it is comfortable. I love to be outdoors on my patio enjoying the sunshine!

The Orchid Bouquet by Treemasters is my favorite find. Multiple faux plants come together to create a beautiful arrangement that can be used anywhere in the home. I have orchids at home and love to watch them develop new blossoms. This arrangement is very life like and a stunning display of blooms.

The Metamorphosis Large Vase by Bomma is my favorite find. This smoked amber glass vase looks like a dragon egg! It’s different from what we have in our other showrooms—ours is a little smokier. Bomma creates these vases from lighting pieces that didn’t work for them, which I think is very neat, creating something out of nothing.

The Roxy Swivel Tilt Tub Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find. We have a pair featured in our Indianapolis showroom, upholstered in a fun velvet print. I love the chair’s compact frame and the velvet makes it feel irresistibly cozy and inviting.

Tricia’s Favorite Find

The Modena Chandelier by Lib&Co. is my favorite find. The Modena is a modern, sculptural chandelier with an organic, nature-inspired design. Each arm ends in a teardrop shaped glass shade, resembling delicate flower buds. The glass shades have a textured or seeded interior, which diffuses the light into a warm, glowing effect. Even though it’s dramatic, it doesn’t overpower a space in a harsh way. It draws you in softly.

It reminds me of walking through the woods as a kid, where the light filtered through leaves and everything felt a little magical. It’s sculptural and modern, but still emotional and nostalgic.

The Flare Pendants by Bomma pay homage to traditional glassmaking techniques with highly sophisticated mounting options. While seemingly minimal in appearance, the flexibility to design a bespoke installation using just three shapes is both inventive and wildly creative. The end result is a lighting sculpture made from handmade, high-quality glass. When showing this to a designer it is always such a treat to see how they envision this collection in their projects; everything from multi-unit stairwell installations to single Flare pendants adjacent a headboard wall.
