Victoria Price Art And Design

Victoria Price Art & Design looks to be a very interesting gallery with an wonderful mix of design styles. I like what Price has to say about her view of the gallery, "My approach to this business has been informed by my family background as well as my education. I grew up with an actor/art collector father (Vincent Price) and a designer mother (Mary Grant Price). Art and design went hand in hand in my household--as did African art and a Modigliani, a 17th-century New Mexico trastero and a Diebenkorn, a Chief Blanket and a Jackson Pollock...It doesn't seem strange at all to me to have art and design under one roof. After all it's how most of us live at home." The gallery is located in Santa Fe and the new web site will continue to expand for online purchasing so stay tuned.

Raves For Waves

Tide, part furniture part tactile experiment, this new wardrobe by Karim Rashid beguiles and then asks to be touched. The series of horizontal waves that envelop the front of this otherwise modernist piece may just have you opening drawers more often than you need to.

War Bowl

Given the state of things in the world today, the War Bowl is a very interesting design with a statement to make. It's quite ingenious and meant for the bold. It's made from melted plastic soldiers from the Battle of Waterloo, half French infantry, half British artillery. Just another case of history repeating itself.

Ivy

Use Tord Boontje's Ivy as a decorative panel, link pieces together as a curtain, use it as wallpaper, or anything else your imagination dreams up. The lush flora will transform any space into a modern Eden. Safely hook up to six pieces together. Available in brass or silver. 6 panels included in each box.

One Amazing Light

The Dreamlite floorlamp is a 5' column of polychromatic, kinesthetic light. It combines beauty and technology to create a tactile light sculpture unlike anything you've ever seen. Choose your favorite color (out of 16 million possibilities) or let a myriad of colors interchange for a more dazzling display. Dreamlite can run an array of colors and lightshows limited only by the imagination.

A Perfect Magazine Rack

In my estimation, the Furni Templeton is the perfect magazine rack. It sports veneered beech construction, bent acrylic, and rubber feet won't mark floors. I love the clever cantilever design and slim profile.

Rustic Shelves

Made from colonial railroad ties from India by Roost, these waxed and polished shelves add great character to a room.

Affordable Original Art

This is the work of Fumi Watanabe. She describes her work as “intricate compositions that convey a sensual and organic atmosphere…my intent is to create an environmental sanctuary...” The work is composed of silk paper applied to wood backgrounds.

Coffee Simplicity

These days the art of making coffee has become more and more complex and expensive. That's what attracts me to the Bodum Stainless Steel French Press. The double walled construction keeps your brew warmer longer. This simple device has a wonderful retro percolator look mixed with modern simplicity.

Cubist Kids

The Dado Cubes are a very modern toy with tons of possibilities for your little modernist.

Spice Up Your Life

From PurposeDesign comes the Spicelab Line. It's a very artfully modern way to spice up your life.

New Kid On The Block

These very mod designs are so well realized, they will add a great deal of style and function to any room. From Flat Patterns, they come ready to assembly with ease and look quite durable. Etsy is getting a real bump with this quality of design and construction.

Architectural Shoes

There is something about the design of these shoes that puts me in the mind of architecture. Whether it's a mid-century ranch, a Frank Gehry Museum, a Japanese tea house or a Wright home, these designs have a wonderful structural element to them and they're on sale.

Functionalist Flower Stand

As far as flower stands go this one hits the mark. It's sleek and chic an will go with an art deco or modern interior - or a mix of both. Circa 1936

A Stay In Greece

The Emelisse Hotel is situated along the rugged shoreline of the emerald Ionion Sea. The pools and outdoor restaurants and bars provide front row seating for an unparalleled views of nature's splendour. Styled for tranquility, with natural materials and earth tones, show obviously that details was the primal goal. The design is meant to add to the style of the hotel without detracting from the surrounding natural beauty.

Mixing In Your Dining Room

Mixing styles, periods and specific designs in interior design is no easy feat. Living Etc. magazine offers some wonderful examples of how to successfully do this in your dining room. All it requires is thinking outside the box and getting away from the "matching" concept.

Wallpaper Clocks

These fabulous Wallpaper Clocks are the design work of Muurbloem. They have a fun design style and look a bit upscale due to the domed, shiny surface.

Hisako Mizuno Tea Sets

Hisako Mizuno designs the most amazing tea sets. I just love them.

Carta Bench

The Carta Bench is characterized by the use of recycled cardboard tubes of small diameter, usually used for packaging. Base in white stained beech plywood. This is hip green modern.

Zoom Rug

Nani Marquina's Zoom Rug is part furniture, part rug. With this dessign you can take comfortable living to ground level.
