Fringe Obsession

This weeks obsession.. FRINGE 

The love sparked as we came across this true beauty, " the crowd-pleaser", The Laura Kirar Guernice Lounge Chair by McGuire Furniture. 

"With its undeniable presence and incredible energy, the Guernica Lounge Chair is not to be ignored. Like its artful counterpart embodying peace and symbolism, this chair is more complicated than it may first appear: the engineering is intricate and requires hand-craftsmanship that takes several weeks to complete by a single person, yet the result feels effortless and primitive. " Kirar Guernica

Its available in black & brown leather fringe; The cushions as well as the inside back are custom with COM. Just imagine what fun patterns + textures you could throw on this baby!

Im not sure what it is about fringe that makes me head over heals, the texture? Maybe that it can turn a traditional piece of furniture into a total dramatic fashion statement.. 

As its been my inspiration of the week I have come across some other fringe-tastic items I would like to share with you!

February Flurry

Whew! What a whirlwind of a month February has been!

We kicked off the month by hosting the California Home +Design Awards Gala at the San Francisco Design Center with our favorite PR maven, Lisa Davis.  We are still talking about how much fun we had and what a success the evening was. The most thrilling of all was the opportunity to host the supremely talented Kelly Wearstler in our space before she took home the 2014 Design Icon Award.  She is just as incredible as we expected her to be.....she's absolutely stunning.

As if THAT wasn't exciting enough, James Bacchi and Annette Schutz of ArtHaus presented The Fine Art of Design in our Tete-a-Tete Lounge as part of SFDC's Design Week. Design enthusiasts were all smiles as James and Annette shared their insight on introducing fine art into their design projects. Did we mention they curated our space for the event? We have some breathtaking pieces hanging in our space by Gioi Tran, Carolyn Meyer and Jhina Alvarado
