Baccarat Wins Luxist's Editors' Choice Award for Best in Decor

Filed under: Decor

Baccarat, the French tableware, crystal and lighting company extraordinaire, is the winner of the Luxist Awards' Editors' Choice Award for Best in Decor.

Though it is nearly two and a half centuries old, its pieces are considered to be cutting edge. From its delicately gilded champagne buckets and champagne flutes in the emblematic Baccarat colors to its vases, knife holders and decorative objects---not to mention the exquisite crystal chandelier hanging above, Baccarat is an everlasting fantasy. A Baccarat piece is much more than just a valuable object---it epitomizes a certain concept of fulfillment and perfection.

A table laid with Baccarat is nothing short of a theater of the senses. As one Baccarat lover puts it: "eyes gleam with the sparkle of a thousand reflections". Whether it is wine, champagne or even water, when it is enjoyed from an exquisitely cut Baccarat crystal glass, it is an magical experience that involves all of the senses: taste, touch, hearing, sight and smell.

The Ero |S| Swivel

Designed by Philip Starck, the Ero |S| Swivel chair is modern functional simplicity at its finest. I'm not quite sure what the naked models do for the advertising (other than make you feel like you need to clean the chair before you sit in it) but despite them I think these egg-shaped chairs look cool and relatively comfortable. They come in this pedestal version that swivels, in a version with legs, and one that has wheels. Plus there are lots of color options (both transparent and opaque). Polycarbonate and chrome, $485-$700.

Philippe Starck Cross Digi Watch

I've always liked Fossil watches, and this one is no exception. It's definitely not a design that will go with just anything, but this Phillip Starck Cross Digi watch is no doubt an eye catcher. The cross design displays the time vertically and the day and date horizontally, and the silicone strap is adjustable while remaining seamless with hidden control buttons for a minimalistic design. It's available in white, black, orange, and green with coordinating LCD screens.

For $125 I think it's a fun way to take the typical digital watch idea to a classier level.
