Best Of the Gift Show … Part 1

I’m back from the gift show with some great things to share with you like I promised. Too many to fit in one day… so enjoy these for now and I’ll bring you even more tomorrow!

I’ll let these fabulous pillows speak for themselves.  I immediately noticed them, and it turns out I’m not alone as they are available in some of the best department stores like Sakes, Neiman Marcs, and even Barneys.  Kevin himself is interesting though, so be sure to check out his site for info about the man behind these gorgeous creations.

By now, we are all well aware that wall stickers are in. Not your average wall stickers though, these come from Paris and they’ve got the style to prove it. With a spectacular selection of designs for both adults and kids, checking out Les Invasiones Phermeres for yourself is a must.  They’ve gotten really creative too, with stickers for your phone, for your scooter (or bike I suppose) and even for the floor. Talk about a modern rug!

I’m sure most of you have heard of Jonathan Adler before. At the show, he showcased a lot of great pieces, but it was the rugs that were most memorable to me. Pictured here are the Marrakesh Rug and the Peter Rug.

Turns out I knew about Fermob before I found out about them. I know that doesn’t make sense, but here’s what I mean:  Fermob has been around for quite awhile with brilliant pieces like the ones pictured here, yet I’d never heard the word “Fermob” before. In fact, you may very well have seen their work as well. Fermob designed the chairs that are all over Bryant Park in NYC, so you may even have sat on a Fermob before. I did have the chance to sit in a Fermob, and they are surprisingly comfortable (I admit I wasn’t sure it would be, but I was very pleasantly surprised).
