Furniture design treat: British Designer Lee Broom

• Deutsch

As we know, Milan is always the hot spot for international design talent and innovations. Here’s a lovely exhibition that just took place a few days ago: British designer Lee Broom was showcasing some of his work at Ventura Lambrate, as well as, for the first time, in a solo presentation at the Salone Del Mobile 2012:

The lamps that you see here are lead crystal decanters. So clever!

Broom is not only a gifted furniture designer but also very talented in interior design. This is his Shoreditch-based studio/showroom, transformed into an exclusive, contemporary, design salon. What a mood!

What a beautiful example of how pieces of furniture can be used in different design scenarios, with extremely different results. Did you spot the chair from the first image? More about this amazing designer

Typography Treasure Book Find

• Deutsch

For all design and typography fans out there: I have to share one of my recent book finds with you! This was my Christmas treat to myself, the book Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles, Volume I – 1628-1900.

It holds a wealth of imagery, so typical of the Taschen Verlag (you have to love them!). A treasure to spend a Sunday afternoon with, just gazing at gorgeous imagery. Enjoy art glimpses from the type foundries of old times!

If you like to get this design gem for yourself, you can order the book here at the Taschen Verlag. 

What is your favorite art book at the moment? Any gems you’d like to share with us?

Bjoern just forwarded a very spring-like fashion shoot with me, that I really want to share with you too!

Isn’t it beautiful?

Looking for a particular fashion style, something that perfectly matches a look you have in mind? Try the European shopping platform stylight.de. Including luxury and mass-market items, it could be the best start to quickly find your perfect fashion item! I typed in “Art Deco” for example, and found pretty goodies like this:

lovely sequined yellow dress by asos – spotted via stylight.de

art deco inspired suede clutch – spotted on asos via stylight.de

Swarovski embellished Art Deco inspired earrings, seen on asos, found via stylight.de

Then, just to be funny, I typed in search keywords “Jackie Kennedy”. This is one of the lovely items I found:

Pretty cool search function, huh!

Have fun shopping, everyone, happy Spring!
