If anyone asks‚ it was a decent day at the track.
Modesty is always best‚ no sense in referencing
life's unjust symbiosis: there are winners and
there are big winners. Discreetly‚ tastefully‚
that's how nobility does it. A cool retreat from
the category’s more florid flights of fancy‚ this
collection of trimmings from Sahco bears the
unforgettable mark of designer Ulf Mortiz:
arresting‚ sober—a fluid‚ jet black landscape
rustling with texture and shadow. It’s a rebellious
but pedigreed cast: Estilo posing in gusty slick
fringe and Armor‚ strong and slinky like knight’s
jewelry. To embellish is to carry some elaborate
promises. These darker‚ moodier accessories do
so sensually and quietly. To the trade‚ Bergamo

She despised his choice of furniture for the study. All this time‚ lying about the
tartan upholstery‚ the custom display case for his collection of mustards—it was
deplorable. All she craved was the astonishing‚ transcendental beauty of the
Chiesa desk by James Magni. The emotional cheating gripped her‚ like a fiery ghost
of decisions past; that delicate lullaby of vain justification was now a garage band
cacophony: unlike the first marriage‚ there was no turning back. A radiant love
child of technology and glamour‚ the piece‚ with its luscious sliver leaf skin‚ stainless
steel plating‚ and LED illumination enchanted her. The perennially sophisticated
Magni had summoned the romance of cut French glass‚ and fashioned it
into this decadent seduction she would return to. Always. To the trade‚ Kara Mann‚
