exhibited a unique collection of 
divine handmade "interior accessorations" .......
made entirely from neoprene,
at ICFF!!!

flexible, soft, smooth, waterproof ......
& has great color saturation!!!

The neoprene has been knitted, crocheted, woven, 
plaited, knotted or twisted by hand ......

These "accessorations" are fabulous additions

NYC designer 
created this stunning collection of
"Clamp Lights" sold exclusively
at the divine NYC design emporium/gallery ......

Lindsey sources industrial vintage clamps, 
brass plates them, 
and lead glass blower 
blows the molten glass into forms that 
naturally "slump" into these bulb-like shapes ....
and the clamps are then attached 
as the glass cools!!!

The fixtures are spectacular ....
whether in a group or individually,
they are absolutely an "accessoration supreme"
and an "accessorator must-have"!!!

New Zealand-based, English artist/designer
created these beautiful, sculptural, energy efficient,
sustainable light fixtures with an environmental conscience ....
featured at  
during ICFF.

The shapes are influenced by nature ...
the flora, fauna, and sea life of Australia & New Zealand.

Using CFL & LED light sources,
the laser cut lights are flexible bamboo plywood pieces,
that are attached with metal clips.

To reduce the "environmental footprint" of the lights ...
they are flat-packed in pieces,
that are easily assembled by the owner!!!

The fixtures are available in the USA from Texas-based 

"I work within the limits of what I have & know,
simplicity & low impact, 
natural materials & process,
leaving a delicate footprint."

Renown English designer 
first Milan installation 
included this sparkling, ecclectic collection of
"decanterlights" & "crystal bulbs"!!!

The "decanterlights" are an open edition of recycled vintage
crystal decanters that Broom has collected,
that can be hung solo or 
in a cluster ......
creating a spectacular chandelier!!!

The "crystal bulbs" are individually hand blown bulbs, 
that are cut into a classic crystal pattern 
& etched with the Lee Broom logo.
They too can also be hung alone or in clusters ....
either way, they are stunning!!!

I love Lee's furniture & these "lights" are definitely 
a great addition to my 
"must-have" accessoration list!!!

The scope of my world as a "collector/accessorator" 
is rapidly expanding ....
interior, furniture, art, & design are becoming one!!!

It became especially apparent last week ....
when I wandered around NYC's first Frieze Art Fair!!!
And here's why ......

Artist Mickalene Thomas is working on a series of paintings 
that all references "interiors".

Furniture/sculpture from Max Lamb, Franz West, 
Richard Artschwager, Allison Katz
is both for sale by dealers & is being "used" in the booths.

Artists Gelitin, Matt Golden, & Olga Koumoundouros 
have incorporated "furniture" into their work.

Martino Gamper's & Hun-Chung Lee's "art" is furniture!!!

And finally ....,, 
English gallerist Stephen Friedman's booth 
is "furnished" & everything is for sale!!!

This confirms my newest theory .....
there is a single "dialogue" incorporating the worlds of 
art, interior, furniture, & design ......
making everything an "accessoration"!!!
