6 Favorites from Mondo Collection

 

Irwin Weiner ASID - There are so many wonderful online furniture resources that I have a tendency to be jaded. It takes some real VERVE to shake me out of my online doldrums - "Not another iconic piece of furniture from another design icon!" So it was a small delight to run into the Mondo Collection in a recent issue of Dwell magazine (in itself, also a small delight), and here are five beauties like the fab-fabric-wrapped Opium Bench (above)  that really stood out for me.

Interior Design Favorites from KGB Limited

Irwin Weiner ASID - It's hard to find great new furniture and home goods resources, but it felt like hitting the mother lode when I recently got an introductory email from KGB Limited (Khouri Guzman Bunce - the three principals). Head to their Chelsea showroom to see old world workmanship combined with sleek, modern style sensibilities - like the beautiful carving of statuary marble on a dramatic black base in the Demarco Dining Table (above). The end result is spectacular and here are 8 of my favorites (oh, I could have gone with more, but you'll get the idea). Click on each photo for more information on each piece from the KGB website.

Wish List: Imaginative Side Tables from Andrew Martin

Irwin Weiner ASID - There's nothing more exciting than finding a good side or end table! Okay, lest you think my life is pretty ho-hum for making a sweeping statement like that, let me qualify - there's nothing worse in a professional interior than bland, vanilla side tables. It used to be that these handy little utility pieces were in short supply when it came to good design, but companies like UK's Andrew Martin have changed all that. Click on the photos below for more information on a few of my favorite side tables.
