I adored my visit to Dallas ....

I saw sooooo much fabulous art & incredible design ....

I went into a spin!!!

I flipped over everything in this house ...

it's owner is an over-the-moon

"accessorator supreme"!!!

But, I can't get this sublime dinning room

out of my mind!!!

These fabulous vintage textiles

pieced into these sublime "table-mats"

are brilliant!!!

I imagined all the textiles in my closet ....

incredible African cloth remnants,

fantastic ikat fabrics,

& the vintage quilt pieces sitting

on the top shelf!!!

WOW .... I'm off to the seamstress now!!!

And the chairs are spectacular too!!!!

German designer Ingo Maurer &

British company Established & Sons

presented Maurer's "Floating Table" last month

in Milan during Design Week.

The round table has the illusion of being "legless"

but really "stands" on four bentwood chairs

that are hinged to the tabletop.

An exciting & innovative "accessoration divine,"

the chairs slide in & out

for easy access!!!

Benches are a "hot trend" this spring ......

I returned to Carla Sozzani's

10 Corso Como last week

during Milan's design extravaganza ....

& was again awed by the extraordinary talent of

artist/designer Chris Ruhs!!!

This time I climbed the circular staircase

above the gallery .....

to find this brilliant roof garden!!!

There was so much to see.....

murals, planters, furniture, mosaics, all things "art" .....

plus the spectacular garden folly!!!

It is the "ultimate accessoration of accessorations"!!!!

Sometimes Milan Design Week can feel like a secret society ....

especially for me!!!

But, standing in front of "design guru"

Paola Navone's

new Tortona office/studio

I immediately sensed this wasn't a random

collection of oil drums!!!

I knew this was a very specific "Navone-blue" installation,

thought-out with great detail

by the "accessorator supreme" herself!!!

WOW, I realized I had finally broken

the secret "design code" ....

& maybe I'm really part of this "design thing"!!!

The new David Zwirner Gallery on 20th Street,

designed by architect Annabelle Selldorf,

is stunning & features

incredible "historical" works of art for resale.

I especially adored the spectacular

Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, & Fred Sandback!!!

But this "quirky accessorator"

became obsessed with

this sublime quasi-Knoll table,

encircled by this melange

of brilliantly colored quasi-Eames chairs .....

DIVINE!!!!

Makes any staff lunch a treat ...

wonder how you get an invitation!!!!
