Take Me to Turbeville

February 27th, 2012

Ralph Pucci has always been an inspiration to us here at K2–to visit his NYC gallery and penthouse loft showroom is to be transported into a fantasy factory of genius. Known for mixing art and decoration on a major scale, Pucci’s wall installations are legendary. We recall being swept away by the uber-romantic fashion photography of Deborah Turbeville–her dreamy, intimate scenes were blown up to epic proportions and mounted on aluminum panels for the perfect contrast of hard and soft. With the release of her new book, The Fashion Pictures, Turbeville returns to the fashion world, giving us a fresh look at the secret universe she created with lighting and color that makes you want to melt into every image.  Check out this great interview with Turbeville at Style.com.

Stockholm Syndrome

February 3rd, 2012

Having recently returned from NYC for it’s annual Gift Show we are feeling revived with many new ideas for our clients, ourselves and our readers. One of the great themes we saw at the gift show was beautiful pops of color in tabletop and one of our favorites doing it is Design House Stockholm. Their new collection of cobalt and white stripped ceramic tabletop is very handsome in person. The cobalt is a very rich, lush blue with simple accents of milk white in a heavy ceramic gives the collection an heirloom like quality. Check back next week for more of our favorites from the show and share with us what your favorite blue and white pieces are in your home!
