We had a lovely evening with Nani Marquina last week. For those who couldn't make it out to meet an extraordinary designer, here are some photos of the memorable night!

Please come by to see the rugs in person and learn more about this special line!

New at Inform: AIM from Flos!

New at Inform is the new Aim from the Bouroullec brothers for Flos! Aim utilizes LED technology and is adjustable in terms of height and beam direction. The flexibility of Aim allows it to be specified in a myriad of configurations such as over a bar or reception desk, as single pendants over café tables, cascading into an atrium space, or even directing a beam of light at a piece of art. You and your colleagues are welcome to visit our showroom and experience aim in the third dimension! Come by the showroom to see in person! Email for pricing details and lead time. 

Aim with Three pendants

Single Aim pendants can be suspended individually over café tables, retail displays, or work stations

Scent Candles | Eclectic by Tom Dixon, 2012

Each candle is encased in a reusable metal vessel and topped with a solid morwad marble lid. 3.3" 

$80 /ea

Orientalist captures the faint memory of an Indian wedding with rose petal garlands, giant cinnamon sticks on beach stalls and the musky smells of the Chinese herbal market. Brass and marble.

London calls to mind the smell of red brick, London parks with crocuses and nettles and the salty smell of the Thames at Dagenham. Copper and marble.

Royalty is a reminiscence of tea time with a pot of Earl Grey, scones, strawberry jam and the drive home in a '52 Bentley with tatty leather seats. Nickel and marble.

Rudi from Roll & Hill

Our newest showroom favorite!

Roll & Hill Rudi | Designed by Lukas Peet, 2012

Jewelry is the inspiration for Rudi, a series of pendant lamps named after designer Lukas Peet's father. Rudi is a three foot pendant made from bent brass tubes that hold handmade cold cathode lamps. The fixtures hang from their cords, which are knotted around the metal tubes.

QLOCKTWO by Biegert & Funk

On the showroom floor:
QLOCKTWO makes you stop and look at time in a different way. The typographical display combines the moment with the written word and turns it into a statement. "It is half past nine."
