This is kind of an interesting design. I saw a lot of mirrors at this show and thought this one was unique. It can be used in many different applications. And I love the shiny white lacquer.

I saw this piece and had a beach-house fantasy. I have never seen the material used in this way, and find it very inspiring. The mirror would look great in a relaxed, casual interior.

I was very impressed at the quality of the upholstery by this 50-year-old American manufacturer. Clean lines and luscious fabrics create a high-quality product at a reasonable price.

Sleek and retro-inspired, I like this desk's delicacy and sense of fine craftsmanship. It’s a very good scale and has the capacity to bring an element of chic to many projects.

Tailored and timeless, this reproduction of an old French trunk works as well in a modern interior (such as a high-ceilinged loft) as it does in a seaside cottage.

I love that this piece captures the old-time essence of an antique surfboard. I’m thinking about using it in a hotel in Santa Monica because it really portrays the California surf culture.

For the hippy-dippy in all of us: a patch-pocket blue jean rug. It has an interesting artisanal quality, and I love the sustainability of the piece thanks to its use of recycled material.

Love this mirror link screening. It reminds me of a '60s Courrèges sequin dress. Lot of style, with many different uses.

The ultimate motorized recliner for your man-cave media room. High quality, red leather is reminiscent of a vintage Corvette. The only thing it won’t do is brush your teeth for you.

This very clever expandable component system from Bassett has a simple design and can function in a multitude of situations. It works equally as well in a traditional interior as in a contemporary interior.

A lovely medium scale sputnik fixture composed of Murano glass discs gives this style fixture an updated feel with a sense of charm.

Sleek, stylish, and sophisticated. These trunks are great as night tables or side tables. I love all three colors used together, but they also stand out very well on their own.
Lacquer Chests, Four Hands

Fabulous new design with a '40s French-bistro feel. I'm looking forward to using it in both residential and commercial projects. It has great lines and exhibits a softer side of modern.
