Flower Power on Sale!

Hey furniture fanatics, M2L has created a virtual showroom called Michael's Loft where the company features designer furniture (floor samples, discontinued items and over-stocked pieces) at prices of up to 70% off. The site also extends an extra 15% discount to architects and designers who provide credentials. I spotted this Little Tulip barstool (one of Pierre Paulin's iconic pieces for Artifort) for $1,490 a pair. Now, if they only had the Womb Chair and Ottoman I'm dreaming I'll own someday, I'd be pointing and clicking like mad!

Trick? No Treat!

When is a sample sale not merely a sample sale? When it's at Ligne Roset. The incredible quality and high style of the company's furnishings reflect the family's commitment to collaborating with design visionaries and a belief that design married with investment and technical innovation is a win/win for everyone. We thought we'd honor all those jack-o-lanterns festooning public and private spaces since last weekend with Pierre Paulin's irresistible Pumpkin. The line is a first edition from the private collection of former French president Georges Pompidou in the Elysée Palace. As suggested by its name, Pumpkin has soft, organic, round shapes and firm seating. It is available as an armchair with or without a headrest, a loveseat or a sofa. An ottoman completes the collection. The sample sale runs through next week in the Miami Design District showroom at 160 NE 40th Street.
