EDITOR'S PICK

First, I was enticed by the pop of color. Upon closer inspection, I was intrigued by the texture. Then I checked out the construction: These eye-catching cushions are actually made from loops of recycled men’s neckties! So, they’re green, colorful, fun, and they make great conversation pieces. Now, that’s a lot to love about anything. Find them at
Copenhagen Imports, (480) 367-6401.
 










BEDTIME STORY

Elemental in shape and sophisticated in style, the Half Moon Bed is from a sleek new collection by Barbara Barry for McGuire. Designed to “float” in a room, it combines a rattan frame covered with panels of cane mesh, and a curved headboard upholstered in leather. Find it at McGuire Furniture Co., (480) 998-2115.





 







SPHERE OF INFLUENCE

Steel provides the framework for curved wood slats in Curry & Co.’s large-scale Axel Orb Chandelier. Named for famed Belgian antiquarian Axel Vervoordt, the spare and striking fixture is 32" in diameter; a stained and lightly washed finish gives the slats an aged appearance. Available through Hacienda Lighting, (480) 991-6767.



 
 












 IT’S A WRAP

Part of an eclectic collection called Caracole, Schnadig’s distinctive Wrapped Up With Ribbon Armoire marries Contemporary with Classic. Complete with an electrical outlet for use as a media cabinet, it boasts silver- and gold-leaf pocket doors with three-dimensional detailing that open to reveal six drawers. Available through Robb & Stucky, (480) 922-0011.

 

 






MAN’S BEST FRIEND

Looking for a care-free pet? Jonathan Adler’s Staffordshire Spaniel, which pays homage to the beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, only needs occasional dusting. Handcrafted of high-fired stoneware with a matte white glaze, it stands 111/4" high and is available at Haus Modern Living, (602) 277-0111.











CURVE APPEAL

Originally designed by Tony Duquette and re-created by Baker Furniture, the Biomorphic Console is cast in resin in three separate pieces, then joined to produce this artfully organic form. It measures 70"W x 36"D x 33"H and is topped with clear glass that is anchored in place. Available through Baker Furniture, (480) 922-8889.
