The “Fruit Loop” fruit bowl by Black & Blum
We LOVE this fruit bowl. Made by Black+Blum, this totally cool bowl is made from a single piece of steel wire. The dynamism of the piece is amazing, and certainly it is something that will not go unnoticed. It seems like Da’ Haus in Puerto Rico carries the product so do call them to find out, otherwise pick it up on your next trip to the U.K.

Arco floor lamp - desktop version
No, not really. Nonetheless, we love this little spinoff of the famous Arco floor lamp by Achille Castiglioni for its sheer simplicity and wit. The super bright LED light works for up to 160 hours on a single battery but the will-make-you-smile effect lasts a lot longer.

Lola chaise at Chiasso
Oh just look at that! This curvy chaise can drive me nuts. If I had it, it would not move from it. The curvy shape just screams to be sit on. Needless to say, we love it for its simple lines, clean design and oh-so-curvy form. It is pricey but hey, if you are like me, you would develop a life long relationship with this thing.
