"This hand shower delivers great pressure, comes in
a range of colors, and looks fantastic. It is ideal for
projects in which space is limited-especially those
in New York City, for example-because it allows
the user to avoid an unwelcome spray of cold water."
"These skinny planks work as a system to create a
tactile and organic floor plane. Finally, someone has
figured out how to assemble a high-quality product
that gives us design flexibility and can be replaced
simply and easily."
"It feels strange to specify porcelain tiles for public
spaces in luxurious hotels, but the facts don't lie:
Eco-Porcelain tiles are thin, strong, and consistent
in size and come in a range of repeatable colors,
patterns, and textures. This material can't be found
in nature, but sometimes our projects demand
predictable beauty."

"I love the clean lines and the midcentury- and
Scandinavian-inspired design of this chair, which
is part of the Groove Collection. I could imagine it
in a cafe or three-meal restaurant to create a
modern aesthetic."
"This hair-on-hide carpet runner's muted tones, soft
texture, and honeycomb patterning exude luxury. It
belongs in a high-end space like a penthouse suite."
"This textile's large-scale pattern looks like a
Victorian-inspired still life, and it is ideal for a focal
wall or window where artwork or a pop of color
would be desired."

"Palecek has always excelled at incorporating
natural materials into products for contract use,
and recent releases are particularly sophisticated
and modern. The geometry and materiality of the
Giselle table is really compelling and warm."

"I appreciate how creative Feiss is getting with
decorative LED lighting, particularly the Audrie
Collection. It has a very elegant and residential
aesthetic, yet is Title 24 friendly."
"This gold verdigris dip tile is a beautiful material:
luxe and handcrafted, yet serene. It hits many
current trends-gold metallic, watercolor,
handcrafted-without feeling overly trendy."
