Contraforma Mom Rocking Chair

Filed under: Decor


Entirely upholstered in a blend of wool, viscose and flax, this chair proves that rocking chairs need not be uncomfortable or limited to use on the porch or the baby's room.

Constructed of plywood and high resilience polyurethane, this cool cocoa brown rocker measures 33"x42.5"x39"h and is also is also available in olive green with brown embellishment. $1795.

E-Turn Bench by Kundalini

Filed under: Decor


E-turn refers to eternity - as in an endless ribbon of gracefully curving fiberglass. Winding over and around, the handmade bench looks good from any angle and the bright lacquered finish sets it aglow. While it doesn't look particularly comfortable, there is no denying that it is striking. Measuring 72.8" long by 22" wide by 16.5" high, the bench is available as shown in white, orange, red or black. $3325.

Botanist Cocktail Table

Filed under: Decor, Garden


If you are looking to create a funky outdoor living space, you probably aren't in the market for traditional wood and wicker. Enter the Botanist Cocktail Table, a funky and feminine alternative to your standard outdoor table. Made from industrial grade aluminum, the piece is powder-coated and outdoor ready. The botanical graphics are cut from the metal using a water jet process which leaves the edges smooth. Available in five finishes, including a beautiful blue, the tables are lightweight, yet tough enough to withstand the elements. If you like the look and want to bring it inside, the table is also available in a wood veneer. $1920 as shown.

Alto Stair Treads

Filed under: Decor

Overall, carpeted staircases are a often a shabby affair, they bring back visions of shag carpet tacked on stairs. The Alto stair treads are a different take on carpeting the stairs. Instead of blanketing the stairs with one carpet, each stair gets its own mini luxury rug. The stair treads, created by Liza Phillips designs, are hand knotted in Nepal from Himalayan wool dyed in beautiful natural shades.. They come in four color sets which can be mixed and matched. Pretty and pricey, they sell for around $70 each, $90 for top and bottom treads. The folks at Apartment Therapy recently profiled these and their commenters were pretty agitated about the price and the potential for slipping (although you can also order a separate adhesive).

Mansour Modern Rugs

Filed under: Decor

Mansour has been the world's best source for antique rugs and tapestries for some time now. In fact, it has earned a Royal Warrant by the Prince of Wales whose palaces are outfitted with numerous items from the Mansour showrooms in London and Los Angeles. It seems that Mansour has decided to branch out and offer a line of products that were made in the current century. Mansour Modern is a collection of artistic carpets that can be customized to suit different decors and lifestyles. And what better place to look at couture carpets than on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles. It's like Fred Segal for your house.
