A MATTER of good lighting

Matter is an amazing shop in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and online. They carry the most beautifully designed objects for the home as well as jewelry and art. I discovered Lorena Barrezueta there. I’ll have to do a post on her soon.

Anyway, I love Matter’s lighting collection. It’s so modern, clean and elegant. I want to move into a spacious loft so that I can decorate it with items from Matter. Sometimes I just peruse their products online for a little eye candy feast. These are just a few of my favorite lights.

2. Smoke Chandelier by Maarten Baas at Moooi

3. Double Octopus Chandelier Red by Seyhan Ozdemir and Sefer Caglar at Autoban

I guess I’m thinking a lot about lighting lately.

“When fortune calls, offer her a chairâ€? – Yiddish proverb

These are some sexy desk chairs. I’m not usually thrilled about chairs with wheels, but the one in the middle is edgy and modern … or retro and sci-fi, depending on your perspective. The best part is that they’re all from Design Public, a store with too many good ones to choose from so I just chose a tiny sampling.

I thought my pin-up babe drawing might like to sit on one of them at her home office. (Yes, she has a home office.)
