When I saw the Bespoke Silk Scarf Chair the first thing that came to mind was the fashion industry. How could you not think of that with the stunning colors and words like "Chanel" prominently appearing on the upholstery? The abstract image on the seat back reminds me of the colors in a Joan Miro painting. The interesting feature is how the abstraction works in conjunction with the major brand logos. This certainly creates a unique design. Suzan Fellman certainly makes a strong "fashion statement" with this furniture piece. Measurements: 27" x 20" x 32". Price: $6,400. Product: here.
Okay it is a bit early for Christmas talk, but it is hard not to think about it with the retailers pushing the "official shopping day" earlier and earlier each year. In Houston, there are already wreaths and lights up at the major shopping centers. Anyway, I saw a great post over at Luxury Housing Trends about outdoor Christmas lights that are solar powered. They are wonderful icicle lights that are available at Target for $40. My guess is that these will sell out early since so many of us our focused on our energy bills. Product: here. Via.

Jesse of Italy will make a larger presence in the American furniture market with their exclusive retail stores that will feature some outstanding modern designs in the near future. I was able to see some of Jesse's new products at this year's High Point Furniture Show and wanted to share a sampling of their "Regolo" collection that include library bookcase systems, entertainment wall units, and flat screen TV stands. Jesse tastefully combines matte, glossy, and natural wood finishes with a variety of linear shapes to create drama. Keep your eyes open for the specialty stores that will be signified by their trademark "J" and some seriously attractive designs. See more of the Jesse modern Italian furniture collection here.
