Bozena's Notes on Design

Last week I did some leg work to see what’s happening in the design world on Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles. Spring is definitely visible, and not only on the outside (my friend Shelly and I had a wonderful time walking the streets of L.A. on a beautiful, sunny day). The modern furniture store displays were shouting “Don’t you know that summer is right around the corner?!”

Bright green and orange are present almost everywhere, mainly in upholstery and accessories.  Their juiciness and fresh looks make them look great on stark white or a light neutral background, as well as paired with darker grays and browns.

Outdoor furniture, made out of weather- and UV-resistant materials, is pretty enough to stand on display indoors (not that I would want to use it there). B&B Italia’s Ravel outdoor sofas bloom with big and small flowers in neutral darks and lights, as not to compete with your garden’s colors or a tropical ocean view. Notice the ethno-pattern on the modern-line tables.

Even felt (popular this year) has been formed and cut as stylized leaves blooming on pillows.

The crisp green and white bathroom in Ann Sacks’ showroom will make your every morning fresh and cheerful (if you’re bold enough to pick this color for your next bathroom remodel).
