Robert Segal, Co-Founder/Designer about his inspiration for the Sonia design:
“I was inspired by artist and textile designer Sonia Delaunay, who was amongst the avant grade movement of the 1920’s- 1930’s in Paris. I love how she applied her bold abstract painting style to fashion. Delaunay really transcended pattern that enveloped the human form and dresses. Her style had great spontaneity and rhythm bringing the geometry to life, which is not easy to do. Her style was a forerunner to that of Marimekko later in the 1950’s.”
“I became aware of her work through a book given to me by family friend and designer Torben Orskov when I was in high school. It was a real eye opener for me and own work at the time. Seeing how a painting could adapt to a textile and that form and color could be the strong message behind a design. I always had a desire to make a pattern that captured this feeling and in this case of the Sonia design, I used cut paper to make the composition/ color blocking effect. The final outcome was Alicia and I creating a bit more structure and composition for the knit blanket. As a blanket, I love how it can read differently just by the way it is folded or draped on a chair.”

Epicurean Slate/Natural Muddler
I have been searching for a good looking muddler for years and here it finally is! Most muddlers are not very appealing to the eye and not only does it have a clean design, but it’s made by Epicurean. I’ve owned and used Epicurean products for the last 8 years and they are all still in really good shape. The drinks will definitely be flowing in my home with this great muddler!
Falcon Enamelware Black Prep Set
How do you not love Falcon? The prep set includes 5 bowls, 1 colander and is now available in a sleek black. The prep set is great from cooking to baking, in addition to the bowls making the perfect popcorn bowls for me and my kids on movie nights!
Color Block Burgundy Throw Pillow
I’m in love with the Color Block Burgundy pillow collection. The deep rich color of the burgundy is a complimentary contrast to the natural linen and can easily go from holiday festive to every day casual.
Lunda Indigo Plates
I love how the Luna Indigo Plates are unique in each piece due to the reactive nature of the glass allowing playful sophistication. They are a fun expressive gift or for your own dining pleasure.
Coil Terracotta Tall Vase
I love the rustic, yet modern quality of the coil terracotta vase. The contrast in texture and surface is great, exposing a bit of the technique and process of how it was made. I think it can work well with a wide range of floral arrangements or even alone as a great accent piece.
Slab Black Mug
I’m a sucker for a great mug and the Slab Black Mug from West River Field Lab is now on the top of my list. It has a great weight and feel in the hand, especially how the handle meets the mug with a slight dimple at the bottom, perfect for holding. I love the exposed matte porcelain at the bottom in contrast with the sheen of the glazed black. You can dress it up for a fancy brunch place setting or keep it casual with your everyday morning cup of coffee.
Epicurean Sandwich Board
I love all the products from Epicurean, especially the items in black. This board is the perfect size, and it doesn’t matter what kind of food you serve on it, everything looks good on this board. And I like that it’s made in Minnesota, the state where my US adventure started last year.
Grid Table Linen
Actually stripes are my ultimate favorite, but the Grid pattern is a very close second. The pattern is simple but not boring and it is easy to combine with other colors and patterns. I’m already very pleased with my Grid bedding, but more Grid textiles are always welcome.
Lyngby Vase
The oblong shape of the Lyngby vase is the perfect vessel for any style of flower arrangement. Originally released in 1936, the fluted lines are both elegant and modern. Through this simple, thoughtful design the beauty of the porcelain really shines. I love the Lyngby story, it is so beautiful once you hold one it’s iconic status is unquestionable.
Kubus Candleholder
I love the graphic qualities of the Kubus, the strong architectural lines are timeless. Kubus is functionalism at it’s best, it looks just as good in today’s aesthetic landscape as it did in 1962. Pair with Ana tall stripe tapers for added drama or go all black for a chic graphic statement.
