Western Wonder Woman Bracelet by Ben Nighthorse Campbell

Details: Things We Love


Western Wonder Woman Bracelet by Ben Nighthorse Campbell

For anyone who’s ever dreamed of being a wonder woman (or a mother), Ben Nighthorse Campbell has created this super – heroically beautiful piece. A national treasure himself, the former senator from Colorado chose Sleeping Beauty turquoise, blue opal and coral set in sterling silver to make a statement. Seeing the silhouette of an eagle’s wings against the sun inspired Senator Campbell, as did the many ancient rock art depictions he grew up with in his native Southwest. Images of rock art are sandblasted in white on the inside of the bracelet and will certainly empower any wearer.

Home Accent Pillows by Inigo Elizalde

With a degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, Inigo Elizalde has taken his talents beyond the canvas. A native of the Philippines, his reputation as a textile designer stretches from Manila to Manhattan. His knowledge of painting techniques inspires Elizalde to create textiles from his surroundings; perhaps the way the light reflects on a river, or memories of textile patterns from his childhood. Whether you like super thin, hand – woven dhurries or Swiss – dyed bamboo silk, his new collection of home accents offers bold designs; some graphic, some playfully geometric. Fun but not frivolous, these pillows are best mixed and matched.

Artful Accent Chair by Todd Fendos

Todd Fendos has taken dining chairs to their ultimate artistic expression, as seen here in a tribute to Picasso’s Femme Assise Dans un Fauteuil (Woman Seated in an Armchair). It’s but one in a series of artful dining chairs from Fendos. Other Picasso – esque chairs include Femme au Beret Rouge and Tete D’une Femme. If you’ve been through Chicago’s O’Hare Airport recently, chances are you’ve seen one of his chairs in the window of the Hoypoloi Gallery. Functional pieces of art, each is created from upcycled dining chairs. “Creating art is part of my soul,” says Fendos. His chairs are handcrafted, painted in acrylic and finished with a high – gloss polyurethane.

Travel Vest by SCOOTTeVest

Good news for the man who refuses to carry a purse: Scott Jordan has created just the thing — a vest with pockets for all the latest gadgets.

Now, 10 million pockets later, Jordan has created a full line of clothing for men and women (including underwear), keeping travelers safe and connected on the road or on the wing.

Dogs Rule Nonchalantly by Mark Ulriksen

Whose heart isn’t warmed by a wagging pup? In his newest book, “Dogs Rule Nonchalantly,” artist Mark Ulriksen tells us, with humor, what it is to be a “dog person.” An illustrator for The New Yorker, Ulriksen combines paintings and hand-written comments based on his observations of the dogs he’s lived with through his life, from potty training a puppy to nursing old Fred on his way to doggie heaven. Ulriksen’s images and words live up to his belief that “Dogs remind me of pizza, Billy Wilder movies and kissing. Even when they are mediocre they’re still good.” It just so happens, there’s not a mediocre page in this book.

Sferra Top-of-the-Bed by Samuel Scheuer

It all started in Venice, Italy, in 1891, when Gennaro Sferra opened his first fine linen operation. Since then, the European luxury linens he built his reputation on have made their way into the Vatican and into the White House, among other prestigious addresses. The ornate filigree ironworks in Venice inspires these Glynn patterned linens. A world-renown textile printer, Sferra layered shades of color onto 100-percent Italian woven Egyptian cotton percale for luxurious softness. These can be yours in crisp navy on white or, for a more mysterious look, black on ivory. All items are woven and printed in Italy.
