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.

Made in America from start to finish, the Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting Elevate Pendant with Frozen Pages glass is my favorite find.

Fine Art is one of my favorite lines because of the magic and craftsmanship behind every piece they make. The Elevate pendant series is a work of art as the light reflects and glows in every piece of glass. With several sizes, glass types and finish options available, you can make your very own work of art on your next project.

The Mona Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find this month. I really love the fabric and wood combination.

Designed by Yuji Okitsu, the Focusx5 Pendant by DCWéditions is composed of 5 luminous discs in PMMA (acrylic glass).

The kinetic nature of this fixture is entrancing and magical, while providing ambient light that brings a welcome energy to any space. Captivating as a Calder sculpture, this piece always brings me such joy.

The Alfonso Marina Tarasco Buffet is my favorite find. It features primavera wood with yew and white cedar veneers, accented by antiqued brass hardware. The detail and hand craftsmanship are truly exquisite.

I love the colors of the wood tones and how the design is both contemporary and traditional at the same time.

The Palecek Corsica Pendant is wrapped in hand-woven lampakanay rope with an antique brass finish. The combination of organic materials with geometric curves is the perfect mix for the Corsica Pendant collection by Palecek. With four different sizes and two hand-woven colors, the ability to mix and match allows for unique designs.

It’s exciting that Palecek continues to evolve their lighting collections with beautiful natural materials for both interior and exterior that add elegance before you even open the door!

The Mara Buffet by Taracea is my favorite find this month. American Oak, adjustable shelves to allow for all types of storage.  It is in-stock and ready for pick up from the Chicago Showroom. 

I am a huge fan of Taracea. The family owned and operated company is truly dedicated to sustainability, nature and the art of furniture making.  The Mara buffet is a beautifully crafted one-of-a-kind piece.  It‘s my favorite because of its sculptural yet architectural design.  The organic American Oak veneer that wraps one side of the buffet makes for a great conversation starter at any dinner party.  The Mara is truly a piece of art and best viewed in person, so stop on by to take a look!
