Objects of Lust: More to Love from Adam and Viktoria

Dreamy new textiles and upholstered furniture from Sweden's Adam and Viktoria. The pair take inspiration from "the secret gardens of children's fairy tales" -- as well as the colors and motifs of classic artwork, vintage wallpapers, and Oriental rugs -- and turns them into objects that are at once modern and timeless.

Objects of Lust: New from Lisa Fontanarosa

I'm pretty much comatose and my throat is raw from singing this morning after taking the kids to see Weezer last night (they KILLED it -- long live Geek Rock!). But I wanted to share some gorgeous eye candy from artist/designer rep Lisa Fontanarosa, who just sent over a batch of new items from her stable of talented creators and artisans.

Objects of Lust: Lisa Fontanarosa Collection

Lisa Fontanarosa doesn't just represent product designers -- she represents artists whose creations are first and foremost things of absolute beauty, but that also happen to have practical and decorative uses in the home. Each piece is made to order and prices depend on size as well as the current Euro-to-dollar exchange rate. But as one might expect, these don't come cheap.

Michelle Brand's window treatments, room dividers, and chandeliers -- that's her Cascade Light at top -- are made from recycled plastic bottles. See more of Brand's work here.

Marie Christophe's wire lighting -- such as the Lustre Baccarat Chandelier, above -- manages to be whimsical and utterly glamorous.
