Barlas Baylar

Barlas Baylar is a bad-ass designer. He's the man behind one of my favorite furniture / lighting showrooms, Hudson Furniture and creates sexy, edgy statement pieces. Here's a few of his latest...

These are the sexiest chandeliers I have ever seen. I want to hang them over my bed, over my dining room table, in my bathroom. oh my god. Thank you Hudson.

wooden lights

When I come across furniture, lighting, and other randomness that I fall in love with, I mentally classify these things into where they will go - my Moroccan/bohemian waterfront villa in southern Spain, my garden apartment in Paris, or my cozy cabin in Big Sur (ok, so I don't currently own any of these dream homes, but maybe in the next 10 years?). Anyway, these crack bowl light fixtures by Kwon Jae Min would be perfect in my Big Sur kitchen...

Salon del Mobile

Unfortunately my broke ass couldn't afford to fly to Milan for the Salon del Mobile this year, but some of my favorite blogs did a stellar job of reporting back. After weeding through all the random and bizarre conceptual pieces I did come across some gems...

Kartell's dreamy Snowflake installation / Yoshioka's Invisible chair which would look perfect in my Modernist ice palace.

Blow High table by Konstantin Grcic for Established & Sons
Weird bird cage / fish tank combo by Constance Guisset...instead of housing a menagerie of strange animals, I think this would look pretty on a smaller scale hanging by itself, or perhaps as a light fixture?
Robi Renzi (RenziVivian) created this amazing series of patchwork cabinets made of salvaged materials.
J'adore the Melt bookcase by Thomas Sandell, but the OCD in me keeps freaking out over the dust I can imagine lurking behind there.
Rich Brilliant Willing created this table as part of  the Clinkers collection for Innermost

Gorgeous gold mesh lamps by Tom Dixon
Love the brilliant colors in the Stretch Collection chairs by Carnevale Studio
Dig the exposed ribcage look of the Struttura Due Table by Davide Vercelli

and of course, the genius that is Yves Behar, for Swarovski Crystal Palace..
