Civilizations have always fawned over gold: a parting wish by the
Egyptians‚ a muse to Marco Polo’s wanderlust‚ a shiny excuse
for a few optimists to go West. Leading us not into the obvious
temptation‚ artisan Terry Tynan produces handcrafted creations
so captivating in their Machine Age‚ streamlined luster‚ they hold
their own precious metal histories. The English-born craftsman is a
master of metal spinning who produces striking reproductions and
custom works with pure‚ exacting beauty. This solid brass‚ nickel-plated table lamp was popular in England during 1930-1950. With
its sultry functionality and liquid grace‚ to find it at the end of the
rainbow is to be showered in riches. Tynan‚ to inquire‚ Ralph Pucci

Playing the scoundrel is a far less elegant game these days. Venomous
subtleties slipped in at the club‚ diabolical plots formulated‚ brandy in-hand‚ all that damning evidence tossed into the fire simply to watch the
effulg ent masterpiece disintegrate in a roar of orange and red. Today’s
character assassinations have no nuance. It’s all anonymous work done at
the keyboard. The Swedish duo Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle have
devised a seductive cradle in the Triumf basket for Klong. Crisp‚ handsome
storage‚ the birch wood vessel is available in natural‚ black or white and
perfect to stow anything from newspapers to magazines to knitting tools—
for your angelic side. Broberg&Ridderstråle. For information‚ klong.se;
