I was in NY last week and while hanging out with my agent, we both stumbled upon this beautiful crystal tree lamp at Bizhan Home NY. Normally, I would stay away from something this delicate and elaborate. But I was drawn to it like a moth to the light!
I guess it’s not only me that is drawn to nature-inspired elements. World class designer Eero Aarnio launched The Tree by Martela, a space divider made of techno-recyclable polyethylene, at the Milan Furniture Fair this year. And last year, Javier Mariscal designed Alma, a injection-molded polypropylene chair for Magis Me Too Collection.

Also at the Milan Furniture Show, Driade featured Shamadan, a tree-like candleholder made of brass designed by Mann Singh.
Now everywhere I turn, I see trees!
MIX Interior from London
We recently discovered this amazing publication called MIX FUTURE INTERIORS by Global Color in London. We were lucky to be next to their stand at Pulse and was able to gain a sample copy of their issue filled with design, color trends, fabrics, materials, exhibitions and design shows up to 12 months in advance of the season. The magazine was stunning, with printing quality beyond your usual design magazine. And there is more… They also publish color trend forecasting up to 2 years, bound in hard cover, called MIX INTERIOR perfect for anyone in product design, fashion and architecture. Contributors to this color guide and magazine are world top indsutry professionals such as designers, architects and color houses from Europe, USA and Asia. This is truly a wonderful book for those professionals that need accurate colour trend information!
