Prickly Heat
I’m not a huge fan of the desert landscape. Actually, it’s the heat—no matter how dry—that makes me break out in hives. But, I’m loving the prickly presence of cactus motifs cropping up around town. Here are a few that got under my skin—in a good way!
We stopped in our tracks for these Prickly Pair chairs at ICFF. Their young designer,Valentina Gonzales Wohlers, was born in the late 1970s in Mexico City, but now lives in London.
A Vase By Any Other Name
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with demijohns.
You know what I mean. They’re those large glass wine jugs with bulbous bodies and thin necks. Considering their proper name—and then my description—the whole thing sounds awful. But they’re perversely attractive—simple, rustic, chic. And it turns out the word demijohn is actually an alteration of “Dame Jeanne” or Lady Jane. So, that’s a bit nicer, although Lady Jane—whether pear shaped or not—might not agree.
