Below are a few interesting pieces spotted on my last several trips to the San Francisco Design Center.
-
- Beautiful mosaic tile from Francois & Co… They craft sheets based on your project specs, allowing the natural mosaic edges to join up neatly with grout.. A sample, 5’x10′ floor, would cost approximately $10k in materials
-
- Love the aged, distressed finish of this oak floor
-
- Wood curves and steel pot rack
-
- Simple, nicely sculpted stools
-
- Teak chevron tiles
-
- Picture doesn’t quite capture the luminescence of the floor tile sample.
-
- Shimmering metallic pink-silvers in a Moroccan trellis design (Walker Zanger)
-
- Clean, simple, elegant coffee table — from Ebanista
-
- A lovely, rustic credenza
-
- An S in leather strips, with an interesting optical effect in the colors and weave. Was a comfy seat.
-
- Feminine, elegant desk, a one of a kind fashioned from reclaimed Indonesian teak, that would be lovely tucked into a home office or sitting room.
-
- A contemporary bookcase and china cabinet piece, from Gaul Searson
-
- Korean river stones, hand-painted in SF — at Inja
-
- The Buddhist sutras are transcribed on the back of each stone (I’m told).
-
- Traditional, ornate but weathered, entitled, dining chair
-
- The crystals, the play of different rectangles against the other, producing this lovely glow. Gorgeous for a transitional, elegant dining or living room.
-
- Clean square lines, with a round glow in between
-
- Wood veneer wallpaper. Could be a beautiful focal point in a recessed nook, along a dining room wall or coating a dressing room’s walls
-
- I could see this in my little girl’s room — who adores the spectrum of purple and pink. Voila.
-
- A burnout floral pattern, on a subtle green slate paper.
-
- Beams from Restoration Timber. Most shown here are hand-hewn (ax marks abound), from Mid-west barns 80-100 years of age.
-
- Just an eye-catcher I had to photograph (heh)
-
- The bend, the welds, the finish and craftsmanship of this stunning steel coffee table
-
- If you have a need for a rustic, 10′ console table standing on mega nails, here it is.
-
- My eyes is always drawn to different materials. Here, natural sisal chevron papers.
-
- Just simple raffia, but I could imagine it warming up an office or austere space.
-
- A four poster finished in a battered black that will hold its own in a farmhouse, transitional, or rustic boudoir
-
- A lovely plank top dining table, seated on an iron base, to easily seat eight. I have a personal pet peeve with outdoor tables that seat only six — they’re everywhere.
-
- Love this outdoor lounger
