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.

The Monterey Cabinet by Julian Chichester is my favorite find. Created by Bernard London x Julian Chichester, the Monterey Collection draws inspiration from the natural curves and fluidity of their heartland along the rugged coastline of Northumberland in the UK.

What make the Monterey Cabinet from Julian Chichester my favorite find of the month is the unexpected pairing of the Monterey Blue Lacquer, the cork door fronts, and the brass inlay. Three beautiful finishes in their own right but when paired together truly create something special. Julian Chichester proves once again they are a leader in bridging classic craftmanship with contemporary style.

The Wesley Hall Peretti Sofa is my favorite find. It’s comfortable – football viewing approved. I appreciate the details; such as the cushioned track arm and exposed wood along the base. Wesley Hall offers a wide array of fabric options and coordinating pillows.

The Rene Cazares London Low King Bed and Del Toro Bench are my favorite finds this month.

The London bed features a wood trim detail on the headboard and footboard. There are three headboard heights to choose from, which makes this bed accommodate many different spaces. We decided to go with the Low headboard for our showroom. We paired the London bed with the Del Toro bench, which is also by Rene Cazares. The bench has a generous cushion that is very comfortable and a beautiful wood base that can be customized into different lengths to suit each project.

Rene Cazares is a leader in modern and contemporary furniture and case goods manufacturing based in Los Angeles, California since 1986. Most products can be customized and with well over 1500 fabrics and leathers, it is very easy to make it unique to each project. Rene Cazares is well known for timeless craftsmanship, modern styling, and an incredible fabric collection. The team at Rene Cazares takes the utmost dedication in building furniture using the finest materials, expert tailoring, and superior comfort.

The Coco Swivel Chair by Rene Cazares is my favorite find this month. It is shown in our Denver location in a Pago Natural fabric.

I love the design while it’s still very comfortable; the chair-and-a-half size makes it easy to relax. I also love Rene’s process. They manufacture each piece at their family-owned facility in California, where it is meticulously over engineered using all kiln-dried hardwoods, 8.5-gauge sinuous wire, and cushions engineered specifically for each piece.

The Mesa Mandrel Chandelier by Hammerton Studio is my favorite find. Alternating beads of artisan blown crystal glass and metalwork evoke the bold look of modern jewelry in this linear chandelier. There are options for colors of metal and glass.

Dimmability of the light and the length of the fixture allow for a moody feel in a dining space.

The Mira Dining Chair & Milo Arm Chair by Wesley Hall Furniture are my favorite finds. We are showing the Milo Arm dining chair with contrast buttons and with one of my favorite decorative options that Wesley Hall offers, the bridle upholstered on the back of the chair. On the Mira dining chair, we specified a contrast welt to show off the details of the frame. Wesley Hall can add all these options to their upholstery, making each piece truly unique for every project.

Dining chairs from Wesley Hall are a favorite of mine for many reasons. They have been family owned and operated for five generations. Every piece is constructed with premium cushioning, hard-wood frames, and traditional 8-way hand-tie spring systems to ensure long lasting comfort. Their products are made in the USA, including the wood, cushioning, and finishing supplies that go into them. They also have a lot of sustainability practices that I love to support including 100% of their packaging materials are recyclable.

The Bond Extra Large Pendant by Sans Souci is my favorite find.

This pendant had two glass elements; one convex, one concave fitted together with an integrated light source. Sans Souci’s signature nanocoating technology uses a thin and durable coating, which can be customized in the gradient, color and transparency to achieve the perfect finish for every piece in their collection.

The reflective properties of this technology are unlike anything else in the market. Their pieces combine artistry and unique designs offering designers the opportunity to create innovative installations that will captivate the viewer. I invite you to stop by the showroom in the Denver Design Center and see these beautiful pieces in person.

The Buoy Double Cone Pendant by BOMMA is my favorite find. The collection was designed by Václav Mlynář, Creative Director of BOMMA. The fixture features an unusual light rod that runs through the entire core formed by a monumental hand-blown glass body.

When seeing this fixture in person, one is taken by the sheer size of the glass. The mastery to create hand blown glass at this scale is beautiful. The simplicity of the design with the ombre of a soft white color is understated and impactful. The method of using a sandblasted light core perfectly distributes the light throughout the entire glass form.
