Lounging in Luxury

We're Bond & Bowery, a website with the most diverse selection of antiques, design, and fine art in cyberspace. We highlight quality pieces without the clutter of competing ads and excessive editorial content. B & B understands the importance of a valuable acquisition and its contribution to home decoration.

Your B & B Host: I'm George Evans, and I've spent the last 20 years importing and exporting antiques and fine design pieces from Europe. I'm a New York City dealer and I have two showrooms in Lambertville, New Jersey.

This month we're bringing you a Vladimir Kagan Sofa. This gentle giant, an ultrasuede-covered, luxe bio-shaped lounger, comes to us from our friends in Manhattan at Center 44, a proverbial emporium of high-end dealers at 222 East 44th Street.

This example of Kagan furniture is original, lounge lovely, and so representative of the swinging '70s that you can't go wrong. Look how wonderful a Kagan seating arrangement looks in front of a large apartment window, as shown in this view of Vladimir Kagan in his own airy NYC home.

We think this Vladimir Kagan sofa would be beautiful in your home. For a more in-depth discussion about design icon Kagan, see my By George! interview with Design2Share. And visit Bond & Bowery for the item detail page on the sofa.

This month we're bringing you a Daum Nancy Vase. This lovely, petite cameo glass vase features beautifully bold hand-painted flowers and comes to us from Nancy Greenwald Antiques, located at 3096 Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

A special vase makes a perfect accessory for practically any room in the house. Add flowers and you have an instant welcome, as in the floral arrangement on the romantically skirted table in this entry hall created by Dallas designer Cathy Kincaid.

We think this Daum Nancy vase would be beautiful in your home. For a more in-depth discussion about the Daum Nancy company, see my By George! interview with Design2Share. And visit Bond & Bowery for the item detail page on the vase.
