“These vintage 1960s slouchy chairs—reupholstered in the most sumptuous camel-colored cashmere by fellow designer Jeremiah Brent for his beautiful new shop Atrio in Culver City—are a must-have. They are a one-of-one pair that hit all the notes: aesthetic, comfortable and special.”

“What can be more decadent than a gorgeous lamp sculpted by hand from two pieces of brilliant Arabescato marble? This piece elevates every space it illuminates.”

“I’m typically drawn to vintage lighting, but everything Eny Lee Parker creates speaks to me! This piece is sculptural and organic while appearing to be a piece of art itself.”

“I’m always on the hunt for something different, and while this mirror isn’t over the top, the simple yet playful elements allow for it to be a lighthearted addition in my projects.”

Another sculptural piece and this time, VIDIVIXI’s Cafe Con Leche cocktail table—in an oxidized brass—could easily live in modern, contemporary or transitional spaces. A piece like this could add to the conversation of a room or meld into the environment, depending on how it’s styled.”

“Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola’s pieces seem to jump off the wall and grab me. The durag is synonymous with Black culture and was such a significant part of my upbringing and that of every Black boy I grew up with. To see it elevated to the level of art is fascinating.”
