Conversation Wooden Spheres

Filed under: Decor

These solid wooden spheres are so surely going to start conversations in your home they're even named Conversation Wooden Spheres. It doesn't say what kind of wood they're made of, but the woodgrain is clearly visible and they appear to be left natural in order to let it shine through. Sitting one (or a couple) of these large spheres in a room will bring a nice touch of contemporary, warm, and natural energy to an atmosphere. Suggested placements include everything from groupings next to the furniture or fireplace to sitting on top of a mantel or coffee table. Do you suppose they're truly a sphere and are apt to roll away randomly from their assigned spots? That could be dangerous! Available in 2 sizes, 10" and 15" diameters, $98-$239.

AGK Ball Lounge Chair

Filed under: Decor

The AGK Ball lounge chair was designed by Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf and is part of a complete Agassi Graff Collection that includes furniture designs for indoors and out. Geometrical and appearing to "float on air" (I don't know if I would say that), this lounge chair is made of hand-shaped, welded, powder-coated, weather-resistant steel wire that is hand-wrapped in dark brown polypropel synthetic rattan. And the seat cushion, of course, also comes in weather-resistant fabric, shown here in cream. 45"x45"x35"

The Ball Lamp Pendant

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Who knew that a big bunch of white plastic balls could come together and make such a beautiful lighting fixture? It seems all the best creations are surprisingly simple, though, so this should be no exception. Designed back in 1969 by Verner Panton the Ball Lamp Pendant it's also known as the Wonder Lamp. The white balls are suspended on nylon strings, which makes them look like they're floating around the bulb inside and provides a warm diffused light. The Design Within Reach description mentions that the balls "bounce against one another with a satisfying tap," which is cool but I can't think why you'd be knocking your lamp around to end up hearing that sound, unless I'm missing something. Currently on sale for $998.

Tree of Enchantment Glass Orbs

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

We all have things that consistently appeal to us, and I always find myself drawn to art that represents the seasons. These 4 Tree of Enchantment Glass Orbs, designed by Stephen Kitras, are hand blown with a "trunk" in the center that branches out into the orb. Meant to represent winter, spring, summer, and fall, spots of jewel tone colors form the leaves of the trees (or in the "winter" one it could be snow) in corresponding colors like greens for spring and browns/golds for fall. The whole set would look beautiful hanging together in a bright window, or one alone switched out every few months. 6" diameter, $45 each.

Paul Smith World Cup Gear

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

We already saw designer soccer balls from Takashi Murakami and a whistle chair/sculpture for armchair referees, but Paul Smith has a whole line of products that he developed in celebration of the World Cup. First up is his take on a football, made of fake crocodile skin colored with bright hues. Unfortunately, unlike the Murakami balls, it is not intended to be used as more than a novelty and should not even be taken outdoors. This isn't a problem if you want to toss the ball around while watching the game on TV, though. The ball is £169.
