Not your average fruit bowl

11:05 pm in Designer Spotlight, Fruit Bowl by Shellie

Do you have a fruit bowl in your kitchen? If so, what does it say about your contemporary space? It is surprising how many exquisitely decorated, modern kitchens have nothing but a simple bowl that was pulled from the cupboard to hold their fruit on their gorgeous table or counter-top. Think you can’t showcase your delicious vitamins as a stylish centerpiece? Think again!

The Blow Up Citrus Basket by Alessi is a showstopper! This is a piece that could find itself a special place in even the most stylish rooms in any home. The basket is composed with mirror polished, stainless steel, hand-welded pieces so each one is truly unique.

About Alessi

The entire Alessi collection is unbelievably stunning and it should be with the passion and attention that goes into each piece. Humberta and Fernando Campana, brothers and partners, come from law and architectural backgrounds and are hallmarked by the way they use raw materials to create functional pieces of art. They are also well-known for experimenting with recycled matter that most other designers would find no use for.

Every home needs a fruit bowl, why not make it one that will stop guests in their tracks? To view the entire Alessi collection, visit their website.

A Portable Gel Fireplace that’s affordable?

11:46 pm in Designer Spotlight, miscellanea by Shellie

While everyone can certainly benefit from the soothing and warming properties that a dancing flame provides, there aren’t many portable gel fireplaces that will fit in every budget. Fortunately, the Oasis Table Top Fireplace does! The design of this piece is like a dream come true, it’s contemporary, elegant and can complement any decor! Not to mention, it is the perfect size to take out on a small balcony, patio or you can simply enjoy it inside of your home. This fireplace is really lightweight so when it says portable, it means portable!

This stylish piece is stainless steel and comes with gorgeous white river stones but if these don’t match your décor, you can replace them if you choose with other colored fire glass, seashells or anything else nonflammable. It uses either pourable gel fuel or gel fuel canisters which are completely environmentally-friendly so you never have to be concerned with polluting the air outside or in your home. Nor do you have to be bothered with cleaning up the mess that burning wood would leave behind.

The Oasis Tabletop Gel Fireplace will provide you with warmth, ambiance and even when it’s not burning, it is still a stunning piece of art. You can find this fireplace at The Soothing Company at a great price!

10:25 pm in Designer Spotlight by Shellie

Every once in a while, one stumbles across a piece of furniture that you don’t know whether to use or just stand there and stare at. The Rose Table is one of those rare pieces! It’s organic and simple yet intricate and mysterious. It demands attention and draws you in without obnoxiously screaming, “Hey look at me!”

Designed by Ben Gabriel, the Rose Table is beyond special. Although when you look at it in the above picture, it appears curved, like it wouldn’t be functional but this is certainly not the case! If you view other photos of it, you will see that the table is surprisingly a flat surface. A piece of art that you can actually use! Always a bonus!

Made from yew, lacewood and American black walnut, the Rose Table is created in Ireland by its designer and hand delivered to his distributor to ensure that only a flawless product is sold to the customer. Can you imagine this jaw-dropping table in your living room? This is definitely a piece that would stop visitors in their tracks and put a smile on your face every time you look at it. Really, what’s not to love?

Polyurethane Furniture?

12:28 am in Designer Spotlight by Shellie

If you are not familiar with the fast-forward, fun and stylish designs of Giovannetti, you are certainly in for a treat! Whether you’re looking for a colorful table and chairs, contemporary couch or an artistic chair, you will find something beyond tempting from this designer.

Giovannetti feels that when it comes to furniture, traditional material, fabrics and color choices can often be so boring and predictable. The artistic adventure and pure creativity for life is what inspires every piece, including this table and chairs pictured above, made from polyurethane. Makes you think of ice-cream scoops, doesn’t it?

Every piece features a gas piston which allows you take the set from a low dining room table to a tall pub-style variety, perfect for gathering around while entertaining. The bases are made from steel chrome to create a surprisingly durable and stable piece of furniture, even at their maximum height. If you look closely, you will also see a shelf/cubbyhole under each seat which is ideal for your guests who never quite know what to do with their purses.

The Giovannetti collection represents the vitality and energy that this 40-year old company has come to be so well known for. Their motto? Made with love! Visit the Giovannetti website to see for yourself why people literally fall in love with this collection. These are pieces that may just inspire an entire new remodel.
