high peformance...meets high fashion

Working at a A/I design firm can be a lot of fun. I love it when they put out samples of new finish materials. This new line Xorel Embroider from Carnegie Fabrics really caught my eye. I love the detail and the delicacy of the fabric.

"Modern luxury is captured by the merging of the unexpected. The art of couture embroidery decoratively embellishes and transforms this high performance textile. The richness of detail and the sens of craft is apparent in the decorative stitches and laid threads."
-from Manufacturer's product packaging

lucite delight

I love the crisp, bold and modern feel of this lucite lamp from Aaron R. Thomas.  The open space in the base is just perfect for tucking away that bedtime read.
