More Photos from Vermillion

...this time from Jean of Ladies and Gentlemen Studio. I pretty much took these images straight from her post last week...thanks Jean!

Submaterial's felt piece was truly stunning and was complimented so well by the petal credenza with cast resin doors from urbancase. It was really a match made in heaven. L&G's mega doily is the neatest rug I have seen all year. *Swoon*

A close of of the entirely HAND CUT felt piece. *Drool*


Totes, from Meet Me Here made from recycled rubberized mesh, that would have been a PERFECT companion in Miami Beach a few weeks ago. Next year, definitely. (These pieces will be on display for the entire length of the show.)

Ladies & Gentlemen, I'll take one of each please.

I can't get enough of the cardboard lights from Graypants, Inc. The shadows they cast are really something to see.

Corian and powder coated steel pedestal tables and chairs and thermoformed corian pendants from Iacoli & McAllister. The detail and craftsmanship should be duly noted.

:)

Photo Highlights from 12/11

A special thanks to Tomika D for taking some amazing photos at Vermillion. And a special thanks to me for finally posting them. Hah.

Hand cut and assembled felt ornaments by Submaterial.


Looking through amazing bags and clothing from Meet Me Here.


Credenza by urbancase has case resin doors with delicate flower petals.


Graypants' Scrap Lights are always a crowd pleaser.


Oversized lamps/bench from Ladies & Gentlemen Studio were a serious smash. We were just in Miami Beach for Art Basel/Design Miami, and the pieces reminded us of the Mondrian Hotel in Miami Beach designed by Marcel Wanders.





Powder coated frame pendants from Iacoli & McAllister.


Ornaments and jewelry for sale at the event.

Be sure to check out Tomika's other photos here.
