Out of Africa

Apologies for the blog overload. I'm still catching up from my New York trip to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (and just wait until you see some of the finds from the National Stationary Show, which I'll post soon).

One of my favorite booths at the furniture fair was a New York gallery called Amaridian which showed a collection from African designers.

These rocks are made from felt, and they look quite real. You can buy them as cushions, or you can buy a rug which is several small felt pebbles joined together.

These bug shelves look like hot red wire shelves from a distance, but up close it's like that scene with the flies from "The Exorcist," only with beetles, and not as creepy.

Finally, these cup floor lamps from Gregor Jenkin Studios look like nothing special at first glance, but look closer, and the lamp is hosting its own tea party.
