The Baroque Papers

September 22nd, 2010

Known for creating exquisite colors, detail and historical charm, Farrow & Ball  http://www.farrow-ball.com have released a beautiful collection of wallpapers that bring an old world flavor with a kicked up palette. The collection is comprised of three different designs in twenty-one colorways, all inspired by the artistic style of the Baroque period. The dazzling large scale papers preview this month and are appropriately titled “The Baroque Papers”. We’re loving the dramatic designs that would be suitable in just about any space.

Talking Turkey

September 7th, 2010

Recently we have come across an amazing Turkish brand, Gaia & Gino that specializes in unique designer collaborations and luxurious objects and gifts. While no one wants to admit that summer is coming to an end, the holidays will be shortly creeping upon us so here at K2 we like to keep you on the up and up. Glass undulating candlesticks, funky dog objects, beautiful vases and more are being produced by this whimsical company located in Istanbul, yet here in the states their goods can be found at Barneys, MOMA, Conran Shop and many more. Visit their site to see more work by Gaia & Gino www.gaiagino.com and some of our favorite designers such as Jaime Hayon and Harry Allen.
