Florence + the Machine

James recently turned us onto Florence and the Machine. We're really into their soulful-retro sound, and who doesn't love blue gogo girls with beehive ponytails?

New in Shop: Smoke gets in your eyes...

By pure coincidence, both these new pieces take on smoky connotations in both look and name, respectively. I love a good play on words.

Pair of smoked glass Stemlite Lamps - possibly the sexiest pair of lighting within a 20-mile radius. So smoky and glossy, it makes the mind wander... c.1960's >> more info







Hans Wegner Cigar Chair - another Danish classic to sink into --although cigar not included. So warm & cozy. Beautifully restored teak & oak frame, reupholstered in the softest, pale grey Maharam felt. c.1950's >> more info

New in Shop: Widdicomb Dresser

The guys outdid themselves with the restoration of this c.1940's Widdicomb dresser. Completely restored & refinished in a Salzburg blue lacquer paired with a stained mahogany in bittersweet chocolate. The light shining off the finish is just gorgeous, with all that brass hardware standing at attention --reminiscent of a vintage military coat. Stunning isn't it? (More info in our 1stdibs shop)
