Object of Desire

I have a thing for everything that portrays letters. From jewelry to decorative objects, I would wear and put the letter N everywhere I could.

When I saw Sesehtypo N-majolica, a wall art printed on premium quality cotton (acid-free) paper, I immediately liked it. I’ve always thought that prints are such a great and affordable way to add beauty, style, and chicness to the house.

This print is the product of Carlotta Manzo’s creativity. For the blog I chose the majolica version, inspired by Sicilian ceramics, but there are other three versions that are beautiful as well, I would love to have all of them ❤️ maybe in different sizes, to create an “N” wall. You can buy this print also with a wooden frame, ready to hang it wherever you want.

I recently developed a passion for shell-shaped lamps. They are so beautiful! I particularly like this one. Handcrafted in capiz, a oysterlike shell, and gold metal, it’s a piece that you can place wherever you like, due to its dimension. Whether it be a bedside table, a desk or a cabinet (maybe in the bathroom), this lamp will add a chic and delicate touch to your home.

Soicher Marin is a family business, established in 1959, that creates beautiful work of arts. When I saw “Live Free or Die” print I immediately liked it for its delicate colors and its strong message.

It’s a giclée print on archival paper. Giclée is a digital printing process used to obtain a print of superior quality. Soicher Marin only uses archival paper and canvas and water soluble, environmentally safe inks, renewable wood products, paper and packaging materials to keep the footprint of the works of art as small as possible. Such a huge plus, right?

This print comes with a wood and glass frame.

 

Golden accessories and decorative objects always add a chic touch to a room. So when I saw this Aytm hook, named Concha, made of golden Zamak (an alloy composed of zink, aluminium, magnesium and copper) and in a shape that reminds a fan and a shell, I immediately liked it.

Available in three sizes and also in silver, you can use it as a hook to hang your bags or whatever you can hang, or as a beautiful decoration. It will for sure add chicness to your house.

I’m a huge lover of candles and I also like beautiful candle holders, they can be amazing decorative objects. Doing Goods Phoenix brass candle holder is probably the most beautiful candle holder I’ve ever seen. Handmade in India, it can hold two candles but it can easily seem an ornament because it looks like a statuette.

I looove everything by L’Object so when I saw this bookend I immediately fell in love. Isn’t it beautiful? Gosh, I would like to have the whole collection designed by L’Objetc and Lito (I love Lito jewelry, too), it’s so gorgeous.

I could choose every pieces of the collection just randomly, but for this post I chose this bookend, I think you can use it also as a decorative object and place it wherever you want.

I have a thing for butterflies, whether they be insects or butterfly-shaped objects/prints so when I saw this side table, named “Mariposa”, which means butterfly in Spanish, I thought it was a true object of desire.

I also have a thing for brass and marble (or glass) pieces of furniture, they are so chic and immediately elevate a room. In the case of this side table, the butterflies are the cherry on the cake.

I don’t know if you ever go to Maisons du Monde just to take a stroll inside the store and look at what’s new but every time I do, I’d buy 80% of the items on display. Same when I browse the site. I just saw these ceramic busts and I like them so much.

I love busts, they immediately add chicness to every corner of a house. Whether you place them on a shelf, on a coffee table, even in the bathroom, they always provide a (neo-) classic touch.

You can place these ceramic busts everywhere and easily move them since they weigh 1,28 kg (about 2,8 pounds) and their height is 23 cm (about 9 inches). I think they would look great on a vanity table.

You probably saw prints like this one, named “The Damaged Duchess”, many times. I did and I’ve always liked them. They make me think of “Marie Antoinette” by Sofia Coppola and they’re such a cool way to decorate a wall.

I found this print on PRINCEandREBEL, an Etsy shop that you should visit because there’re many other cool handmade prints available. The frame is part of the print, so you’ll need a very simple frame to hang it on the wall.

I think I should write a post about cool wall art because I’m so into it.

The first time I saw Oliver Gal’s wall art was on Pinterest when I noticed a beautiful print. I was looking for a chandelier (a real one) when I found this beautiful printed one. I’ve never heard about Oliver Gal at that time so I thought the print was made by a man. Then I found out Oliver Gal is an artist company founded by Lola Sánchez and Ana Gal, which are sisters and artists themselves.

This chandelier print immediately caught my attention because it’s such a dramatic piece, so eye-catching.  I particularly like this red version, but there’re more beautiful colors available. And you can choose among five sizes. Every piece is signed by the artist and arrives ready to be hanged. This is totally a decor game changer!
