PRODUCT NEWS

The Civetta suspension lamp from Aldo Bernardi pairs beautifully with exposed wood, brick or stone, setting off the surface on which it is installed. Like patinated palmettos, an array of individual fixtures branch out from the slender central trunk, ensuring bright light in even the most cavernous spaces.

Weitzner creates an understated feeling of depth and movement with this playful print. Shimmering pearl accents add a lively feel. This wallcovering comes in six colorways to fit the mood of your room.

Engaging II (pictured here in Seaside/Sky colorway) allows light to filter through a cascade of double-sided, laser-cut interlocking rings. Faux suede adds texture to the charming interplay of light and shadow. The piece is also available as the single-sided Engaging I.

The Tunnel Sconce from Rocky Mountain Hardware is perfectly balanced contrast. Warm light emanates from hand-formed glass above the cool shimmer of art-grade bronze. UL damp rated and available in incandescent or LED lamp types, the sconce’s recycled content can help a registered project qualify for up to 2 LEED® points.

Introducing the Carol, a truly stylish stackable chair. Extremely comfortable and beautifully designed, the Carol will fit into any décor, from contemporary to traditional to transitional. Durable enough for the boardroom, yet elegant enough for the dining room, Carol’s just the girl for you.

Hand-woven in Nepal from 100% hand-carded, hand-woven Tibetan wool, Fast Talk from Alicia D. Keshishian features playful swirls of color on an ever-evolving background. All wool is dyed-in-the-raw, so the gradual color transitions in the background are achieved through expert weaving, not through simply dyeing after the fact. RugMark certified.

The elaborate Persian gardens that inspired the decorative arts and textiles of the Ottoman Empire have also inspired Eden, Nomi’s latest indoor fabric. The delicately hand-painted floral motif dances across the 100% Belgian linen ground with subtle colors and attention to detail. Custom colors available.

Modern Bamboo combines the flexibility, strength and endurance of bamboo with expert craftsmanship to create exquisitely simple pieces that are both beautiful and environmentally sensitive. Manufacturing renewable products that promote sustainability continues to be a key objective of the company’s philosophy. Modern Bamboo is available through the B. Mori & Co. showroom in San Francisco.

The Spring Chair — Constructed of a single, sinuous ribbon of 100 percent laminated bamboo, the chair provides a distinctive response to the weight and movement of each individual thanks to its curved form and the strength and flexibility unique to bamboo. Available in three finishes: amber, cherry and ebony

The Lighting collection from Rocky Mountain Hardware gracefully spans styles ranging from contemporary to traditional, and combines the warm texture of art-grade bronze with handcrafted glass. The Hailey, Idaho-based company offers this collection of sconces, pendants, vanity lights and chandeliers in nine patinas that work together with the bronze to create a unique appearance for each piece based on the elements of time, touch and climate.

Cube Chandelier with Flat Glass - Shown in white bronze with a light patina, this art-grade cast recycled bronze fixture features handcrafted glass and requires four type-B incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs (60 watt maximum). The fixture’s “green” characteristics offer points towards a project’s LEED certification, and it is UL rated for damp locations.

The All’Antica collection by Lori Weitzner for Sahco draws upon the exquisite artisanship of ancient armor and weaponry from Tibetan, Italian, Chinese, and Turkish treasures spanning the 15th to 18th centuries. The collection employs a range of technically innovative methods and offers nine patterns ranging from voided velvet and pleated dupioni silk to seersucker metallic prints.

Tressure [shown on chair, pillow and ottoman] - This cut-velvet filigree design in the shape of a diamond with viscose velour pile against cotton ground is inspired by the central diamond-shaped cartouche on a 15th century Tibetan leather forearm guard and decorated with engraved and pierced iron scrollwork.

Insignia [shown as window drapery] - An elaborate silk and rayon embroidered flower-and-vine pattern graces the dupioni silk ground, the motif is based on a circa-16th century Tibetan wooden sword hilt, rendered here through textured embroidery. The silk’s glossy finish and gold accents suggest the gleam of precious metal.

Thirty years of passion, research and experience have led Aldo Bernardi to create a particular and reassuring style of work that is easily recognizable within the sphere of the lighting industry. Characterized by a distinct, timeless and balanced style, the Italian firm embraces both traditional handcrafted techniques and technological innovation, resulting in fixtures that follow neither trend nor convention.

Tamer - This aged brass pendant includes two stacked lights that are controlled separately and an outer shade of clear glass. A rigid suspension with two lateral tubes and one center tube conceals the wires to create a clean and graceful aesthetic.

Furniture designer Ted Boerner strives to breathe positive energy into any context in which he is involved, and the importance of a ‘sense of place’ is a central theme for his new Commune Dining Table, premiering this January.

Commune Dining Table - Believing that a dining table is more than just an heirloom, Boerner set about to create a table that would embody what a dining table truly is: a place where people gather together and connect with one another. Influenced by the work of Ellsworth Kelly, the table is available in three “breathing shapes”—Rectangle, Square, or Round—and features a “propeller” veneer on the tabletop that draws the diners together as it radiates out from the table center

Sondra Alexander uses a variety of materials when creating her hand-applied designs, which are infused with both tactile and artistic qualities. Paint, stone, sand, metal, plaster, and rice paper combine to impart Alexander’s unique vision, creating compelling dimensional textures.

Into the Woods - Shown in the Venetian colorway, this hand-painted wallcovering is based on the traditional faux-bois (“fake wood”) aesthetic that has been sought after since the 17th century. Like Sondheim’s Broadway classic, this beauty is no stranger to quirky wit: Into the Woods updates the faux-bois look to offer a perfectly suited organic irony to the minimalism prevalent in today’s design world.

B. Mori & Co.’s hand-painted silk wallcoverings are fully customizable and offered in an extraordinary array of intricate designs and shimmering color schemes. Artisans skilled in the necessary old-world traditions create these 100% silk works of art that elegantly express nature’s bounty while incorporating symbols of good fortune.

Imperial Garden - A traditional hand-painted silk wallcovering, Imperial Garden’s vivid red background brings a certain level of refreshing intensity to this restrained art form. Avian and floral patterns playfully intermingle, radiating a light-hearted, harmonious energy.

Lee Jofa introduces, Groundworks, a collection of prints, weaves and trimmings with Los-Angeles based interior designer, Kelly Wearstler. Celebrated for trailblazing designs for luxury resorts, exclusive restaurants and lavish residential projects as well as her adventurous use of color and her affinity for mixing objects of different styles and eras, Wearstler has lent her creative expertise to Groundworks for her debut line with the company.

Katana - Inspired by her intercontinental travels and penchant for studying and collecting both vintage decorative arts and pedigreed antiques, the line is at once timeless and fresh and adds a new dimension to Wearstler’s sophisticated aesthetic.
