Evidently, the fortune cookie was right—a surprise did await
you. Stumbling onto these intriguing hand-sculpted metal horse
heads is the cosmic proof. Or the sweet and sour coincidence,
depending. Reveling so beautifully in the material, evocative
New York designer Marsia Holzer brilliantly lures various grades of
expanded metal into a fascinating aesthetic freefall: medieval-armor-complex-mysterious-wow. To purchase, Marsia Holzer

Skirts give up the modesty thing, and every inch of skin wears a reckless tonic
of sunscreen, bug spray and sticky. Summer is on these days, and drinks shall
be served al fresco. We will leave the sultry transparence of these fanciful
handcrafted decanters to relay the finer points of red and white, asking only
that guests thank the marvelous French atelier Les Héritiers for their chic style
and the lovely suggestion that these accessories may also be used in the
bathroom, for the bubble bath. For information, + 33 (0) 4 7837 1703
Solid colors ask so little of us. Black, gray, daring iterations
of white—it is a palette with two best friends, Woolite and
Clorox. Interrupting the cliquish starkness, Clementine
Philbrick and Tamarra Younis deftly expose the splendor
of contrasts. Their collection, Union of Art, translates the
duo’s fashion background into a fresh, vivacious collage
with these handmade pillows: masculine pinstripes chat
up feminine lace; shimmer silk and studded details mix.
With ethnic layers and some fetching brights too, this
home collection is their own glamorous blend. To purchase,
