- Curve Appeal
One of 70 new pieces in my line for Century, the Pontchartrain dining table is inspired by the interlocking marble designs of the mid- 20th century. It emphasizes the structural innovation of the era while blending modern functionality and artistic expression. tarashaw.com
2. A Stitch in Time
I love all kinds of vintage cloth, but especially those with a backstory. In the Congo, weaving Kuba cloth from palm leaf fibers is a generational art that yields bold, versatile textiles. Most often it is woven into long, rectangular strips making it perfect for use as a table runner or bed scarf. bviz.com
3. Take Note
Call me old-fashioned, but when jotting lists and notes I still reach for a pen and paper. A journal lets me track my daily thoughts in one pretty, bound place and allows me the luxury of putting the phone down. scriptura.com
4. Dream Weaver
Rugs made from organic fibers look and feel right in every kind of setting. My favorites are comprised from hand-stitched pieces of jute woven together in the Kasba pattern to form a contemporary patchwork design. katiekochhome.com
