i think these picasso salt and peppers from new delhi designer neha chandra are very pretty. i like how the pepper gently nests within the salt, creating a slightly different look every time you put them together. they were inspired by the works and forms of pablo himself.

i am not sure if these are in production but they would be a very graceful addition to a dining table if you ask me.

see more design concepts and contact neha here.

wisteria clear glass bird lamp

sometimes i see super contemporary home items and love them (you know i do!), but have a hard time picturing them in my house, or anyone else’s, because some pieces have too limited an application. this is why i love the aesthetic of the wisteria catalog. their products are modern but have both a global and vintagey feel too, which makes for a pretty vesatile resource no matter what style of home you have. among the many things i covet in their collection is this graceful clear glass bird lamp. it’s so pretty and i imagine it gives off a nice amount of light because of the clear shade. in the catalog they compare it to philippe starck’s ghost chair, but the transparency is the only similarity to me. this seems softer and sweeter to me.

when we reopen our cottage up in michigan this spring i will take you on a photo tour, and then you’ll know exactly where i would like to put one (or two) of these!

$169 at wisteria.

i think this troja lamp from konstantin landuris and horst wittmann of germany’s hansandfranz studio (hmm?) is simply gorgeous. it’s crafted of lightweight aluminum and outfitted with a lots and lots of little led lights.

i love the minimal elegance and the idea of being able to adjust the angle of the arc to suit the application. sadly, this beautiful piece is a prototype at this time, but hopefully they will put it into production sometime soon!
