BEAUTY: Sculpture AND Furniture Design

Sculptor Casey McCafferty works in many mediums but, seeing as I am interior designer, I am drawn to his wood sculpted chairs and benches that are truly works of art. The sense of them is at once tribal, futuristic, organic, and prehistoric. His larger sculptures would look great in the corner of a large living room too...

Stone Alphabet by Clotilde Olyff

I am captivated by this collection of rocks and stones which creates a font...by Belgian typeface designer Clotilde Olyff.


I can't find a dedicated web presence for Olyff but you can find her bio at Type Network.

BEAUTY: Interior--Lauren Liess

Interior and lifestyle designer Lauren Liess created a stunning villa for a client that blends ancient and modern with organic elements. The result is Tuscan by way of the Tropics. I love the reclaimed Jerusalem stone on the barrel vaulted ceiling in the dining room as well as on the kitchen walls and range hood, and the outrageously large master bathroom which features dark cement-and-waterproof-stucco shower walls.

Gemstone Planets From Deskspace

Deskspace is a set of semi-precious stones representing each of the planets in our solar system. The beautiful spheres are cradled in a wooden base and while their website doesn't list the stones, I believe I can identify them as labradorite, moonstone, sodalite, jasper, tiger eye, yellow and green aventurine, and possibly lapis lazuli.

Indefinite Vases by Studio E.O.

It is easy to forget that glass is not a solid--it is a a liquid. And these marvelous vases by Erik Olovsson of Studio E.O. in Stockholm bring that point home. I love how each vase has been blown to drape, droop, slip, or slide over a gorgeous polished piece of marble, granite, or onyx. Playful, whimsical, and biomorphic.
