Going Raspberry picking with “Desire to Inspire”

This is what we love about going to trade shows, specially ICFF, you see so many beautiful things, meet really nice people and attract the attention of some others that later write about us in their blogs, spread the word and voila, the next thing we know people are calling. Thanks a lot to all those bloggers that like our stuff and share the love.

Take a look at what  Desire to Inspire blog had to say about our Vine Chair and join the authors to some raspberry picking this summer!

Publication in Best of Today’s Interior Design

Our partner Diane Paparo Associates creates beautiful spaces and we are not the only ones who think that, according to Tina Skinner, writer of the new released book “Best of Today’s Interior Design, Diane Paparo is considered one of the best, that’s why some of her work was chosen from a flood of designers to be part of this great publication.

We had three spaces published, a kitchen “A Cubist approach to kitchen desigh adds texture and symmetry to this gleaming kitchen. Black and white further enhances the space, emphasizing the ceiling height and allowing the cool bar stools to really stand out”

Product Spotlight: Aeon Bench

New York Designer Noel Jeffrey was interviewed for the most recent Decorati news blast. Jeffrey of The Jeffrey Design Group a premier designer whose works focus on the high-luxury. Knowing his designs, dp studio was honored to learn that our Aeon Bench was listed as one of his favorites!

From our slab collection, the Aeon Bench is entirely handmade in our solar-powered workshop in Montana. Featuring both finished and living edges, the bench is available in up to 96” long. As all our pieces are made to order, note that that each bench will be uniquely different depending on the character of each wood slab. The bench can also be customized, choose any solid wood or even specify depth or height and turn the bench into a console.

dp studio is particularly proud of our Slab Collection as it works towards our sustainable initiatives. Alongside being made in a solar-powered workshop, we can source naturally fallen or diseased trees for your bench and provide an eco finish per your requests.

For more information about the Aeon Bench, visit our website or view it on Decorati.

Product Spotlight: Wave Tiles

A recent meeting was held to help Diane Paparo Studio begin preparing for ICFF 2009. As we all sat around Diane’s conference table, we threw out some ideas for new products to showcase. The easiest piece to agree on was the Wave Tile.

The Wave Tiles never fail to spark the interest of designers and homeowners. They add instant interest to any space due to the varying sizes, waves, and possibility for customization. Available in high and low frequencies, the tiles feature soft curves and contrasting contours allowing light to play upon the surface and create subtle shadows. Other options include flat panels, which are perfect for mounting light switches, outlets, or even sconces. Tiles can be engraved and lacquered in any color.

Not sure what to do with the wave tiles? They would make a perfect backsplash in an area without standing water – place them in your bar, cover an entire wall, use them as a baseboard, moulding, or a modern chair rail.
