Tabei Lounge Chair by Crump & Kwash
Striking a balance between comfort and clean design — with a low, sculptural frame and plush cushioning — the Tabei Lounge Chair hits that sweet spot between laid-back and sharp. Crump & Kwash custom-makes the chair to suit a range of style preferences, offering a wide variety of colors and upholstery options, including cotton corduroy, different leathers, or even your own provided fabric. Each chair is built to order in Baltimore, Maryland, by the company’s team of skilled makers with a lead time of 10 to 14 weeks. Founded in 2015 by Paul Crump and Justin Kwash, with backgrounds in both sculpture and architecture, the studio creates high-quality, minimal, and durable furniture. We love the custom options and how the Tabei can complement a range of aesthetics.

Grand Prismatic Glass Bowl by Kathy Burk
Inspired by the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone National Park, glass artist Kathy Burk created this kiln-formed glass bowl to echo the colors and depth of its iconic Grand Prismatic Spring, capturing the drama and mystery of nature through layers of color. Working from her studio in Sheridan, Montana, Burk’s process mirrors the geological activity beneath Yellowstone in many ways. Glass, like the earth, she explains, is transformed through intense heat and elemental reactions. The artist fuses sheet glass composed of soda, silica, lime, and other natural minerals at high temperatures, allowing organic patterns to emerge. Grand Prismatic is part of her Modern Relics series, which features vibrant, earthy pieces as sculptural tributes to the natural world. We love the spirited colors captured in glass and how they seem to glow from within.

Lady Bird Pillow by Laura Park Designs
As a self-taught artist, Laura Park’s journey began in her grandmother’s studio and evolved to include a teaching career and motherhood before she rediscovered her love for painting and interior design. Working with bold hues and layered brushstrokes, Park transferred her painted patterns onto textiles, founding Laura Park Designs in 2016. The Lady Bird Pillow reflects her artistic evolution and her love of color and form. Made in the U.S. from a soft, durable cotton-linen blend, the pillow features a double-sided abstract print, concealed zipper, and down pillow insert. We love the freshness of the design and how it can add a splash of artistry to any everyday space.

Cast Stone Outdoor Pebbles by Creative Living
Blurring the line between furniture and sculpture, these creative seats and tables were inspired by river stones. Made in California from fiberglass-reinforced concrete with a hollow core, they’re surprisingly lightweight yet durable enough for year-round use in any climate. The smooth pebbles can serve as seating, accent tables, or be arranged in decorative clusters around plants. They are available in a range of sizes and six colors — from muted tones like white and light grey to brighter colors like chartreuse and terra cotta — at Creative Living, a Denver, Colorado-based contemporary outdoor furniture and design service store. We love that these pebbles embolden the expression of nature in outdoor spaces.

Royston Turquoise Concho Belt by Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves
A study in precision and tradition, this classic concho belt is hand-crafted by award-winning Navajo artist Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves. Made from sterling silver and natural Royston turquoise, it features nine hand-stamped conchos, a matching buckle, and a slim black leather strap. Born and raised in New Mexico, Reeves learned silversmithing from his brothers and became known for his hand-shaped works with intricate patterns, often hammered with up to 20 handmade stamps. His pieces have been exhibited by numerous museums and are held in collections worldwide. In May 2025, a custom-commissioned 21.75-ounce gold concho belt by Reeves made headlines when it sold for $67,800 at Western Trading Post’s inaugural Advanced Collector’s Auction in Wickenburg, Arizona.
