Constantly challenging to figure out what to acquire for your mother - however look at these additional possibilities. Alma Fortune Cups inspired by the Turkish tradition of Tasseography (coffee forturne telling), Opera Porcelain with its delicately rounded forms (just like mom), Kyros Cup & Plate great for an afternoon coffee and snack. For tea-drinkers, Morehouse Double Walled Glass (shown with a Tea Forte Silken Tea Infuser) and the illicit looking Tea Stick from Blomus: fill with tea, rest in a cup of hot water and let the tea steep completely.

We were recently introduced to the production of Jerry Jacobs, a San Francisco based Interior Designer. Though I usually be inclined to more modern interiors, We were specifically taken with this room, in a flat in the Presidio Heights area of San Francisco. I love the soft palatte punctuated by the strong piece of art and the dark floors and lighting. The blend of textiles definitely gets my attention without becoming a distraction. I asked Jerry about the development - I was so interested about that art piece - was it the inspiration or the finishing complement? “The homeowner had found the art piece early in the development and asked me if I can work with it. To me it appeared like a modern Toulouse Lautrec… also I have always appreciated burgundy, black and ashen motifs, so I said yes. She bought it and we did work around it a bit.” Jerry said he insisted on the black border to match the floor and lighting. At the client’s request, yellow was chosen as the prime color, which worked well with the girls’ hair. I admire the moderation excercised within this space - I asked Jerry how he knows at what time he’s finished. “I am regularly very restrained, I find that it creates interiors last long or become ageless. I have a tendency to be monochromatic, but I do love to bring life into the spaces. In this case natural daylight have been effective incredibly well too.” He went on to state that there was no more need, the room was finished. I wholeheartedly agree.
Recently introduced at IMM Cologne, Ruche is the couch brought down to its most fundamental elements: a frame and a pad. The easy beechwood configuration is draped with a thick quilted mattress. The finish, as thoughtful and thorough as the ruching of a woman’s piece of clothing, presents an attractive, relaxed yet stylish feel.
Linea’s Santa Monica store is full of grand furniture design at truly good values. Take Flipt by Jeff Miller for Cerruti Baleri. This chair doubles as a side chair or lounge, with a effortless flip, you can open or secure the lower part of the chair to make it work either way. This piece is on the floor at Linea Santa Monica for 40% off the original price.
Blossom Loop by Black + Blum was apparently motivated by the Fibonacci Curve, you know that series of numbers that accounts for so many of the spiraling shapes that happen in nature… Well, in any case, the pot is pretty and simple. Executed in free flowing wire in the midst of a chromed finish, the bud vase is equipped with a water tube that is hidden inside. Think about linking several Flower Loops in concert for a larger impact.
London based Black + Blum is an Anglo-Swiss design consultancy that ventured out to develop their private product line. Appears it was a great decision as their modern accessories line continues to grow.
