Miami Design District - My Little Purchase

With so many wonderful shops and galleries in the Miami Design District, it's easy to drop some serious cash. I was quite good, though. My single purchase consisted of this lovely Scandinavian Retro Kitchen Jar, designed by Lotta Odelius. Pictured are other pieces from this line as well as other lines by her.

Collecting Vintage Dansk Brown Flamestone

I have had the unfortunate experience of moving three times in the past year and a half. It is a great deal of work, and I find that each time I disposed of more of my personal possessions in an effort to streamline the process. This can be very liberating, pairing down to the essentials of what you most love. But the sad thing is when you somehow loose things that are dear to you. Well today I replaced several items that had gone missing and at a great discount. I paid about a third of what I originally paid for these Dansk Brown Flamestone pieces on Ebay. I hope their in as good of shape as my old ones. Designed by Jens Quistgaard. Note: Dansk has rereleased some of these pieces so make sure you're getting what you think you're getting.

Setting A Modern Table

If you love clean lines and graceful design look to china and flatware from the mid-century for inspiration. Pott 86 Silver Flatware originally designed by Josef Hoffman in 1955 and Rosenthal Studio Line TAC dinnerware and tea set originally designed by Walter Gropius in 1969. From R Gallery, 20th Century.

Vintage Modern Ceramics

When adding the finishing touches to a space why not go with some striking vintage modern ceramics. These highly collectible pieces can be found at affordable prices if you look around and can increase greatly in value over time. Most importantly, they are so unique that your space won't look like everyone else's. Why go to your locale chain store for home accessories when you can get so much more with vintage. From Hi and Lo Modern.

Sagen Ceramics

I love these designs that focus on multiples of a theme. Created by Sagen Ceramics, a new company with a long manufacturing tradition of ceramics and located in the Valencia Province. Tradition is combined with fresh ideas from young designers to create this line.

O Vases

The O Vases are handmade and glazed in California. Mix and match colors or use one line to accent a room, either option will add a level of modern feel to every room. They run an affordable $38 to $48 dollars each.

Ikuko Iwamoto Ceramics

Ikuko Iwamoto ceramics are stunning works of art. Educated in Japan and London, Ikuko has exhibited internationally and won many awards for her work which is truly otherworldly. Visit her website for a huge variety of work, utilitarian and otherwise.

Lladro Bird Jewelry

Designed by Bodo Sperlein for Lladro, the magic forest re-cyclos series combines classic Lladro birds in a new setting of gold plating and silver.

Aldo Londi Ceramics

These remarkable ceramic animals are by designer Aldo Londi (1911-2003), the former art director of the famous Bitossi family ceramic studio in Italy. He is most famous for his RiminiBlu collection which is equally stunning. His work is still in production at Bitossi or can be purchased at vintage site.

Tea Or Coffee, From Freeman Lederman

Fantastic mid-century modern ceramics designed for Freeman Lederman.

Pfeifer Studios

Surrounding yourself in natural elements compliments a modern interior. Wool, glass, linen, ceramic, wood, leather... all of these objects have a warm feel to them that make home a great retreat.
