Furniture gone organic?!

Exactly how green can you go? Does your creativity have bounds? How about plant your greens inside furniture? Like this one made by FurniBloom. The concept itself honestly doesn't really wow me - I've seen growing plants inside bottles or jugs, but the implementation is indeed as intriguing as it is functional. Designed by a Danish landscape architect, the idea is to grow your own (Yes, personalization is the key!) herbs, vegetables, flowers inside the simplest yet stylish lucite furniture. It no doubt is a great idea for small homes, decorative and organic, and of course, fuzz free!

The aftermath of the sale at Christie's & Doyle New York

Feb. 9th was a big day - I had to, or intended to, split myself in half phone bidding between Christie's Interior Sale and Doyle New York's Belle Epoque, turned out it was a full-day's output. Although it sort of ended in a disastrous kind of way (prices went shockingly high and countless competitors over the phone and on the internet), I was in fact a bit satisfied to see the rather eager engagement in the showroom.

At Doyle:


Tiffany Studios bronze/glass arrowroot lamp, sold for $185,500.


Set of 12 Georg Jensen sterling silver wine gobblets, sold for $20,000.


Louis XVI style bronze mtd. marble top commode, sold for $15,000.



At Christie's:


A Maison Jansen ebonized bureaplat, sold for $5,250.


A large group of leather bound books, sold for $26,500.
