MORGAN’S TOP FIVE DESIGN FINDS
A. Dudley Occasional Chair by Baker Hesseldenz
The craftsmanship of the Dudley Occasional Chair is truly exceptional, particularly in how the wood seamlessly integrates with the upholstery. Morgan chose this chair for her TFDF because, despite its compact design, it exudes a sophisticated style. The delicate connection between the materials, from the elegant woodwork to the refined leather back straps, highlights the chair's artistry. Each element stands out on its own, contributing to the chair’s overall beauty. We challenge you not to fall in love with this masterpiece!
B. Pallas Table Lamp in Cloud Moonrock by Anastasio Home
Just when you think the design world has exhausted its creativity, along comes this lamp to prove you wrong. Morgan has placed it among her top five picks this month, and for good reason. She cannot resist incorporating it into every design scheme she’s working on. What makes this lamp stand out is its ability to elevate a seemingly simple object with its dramatic marble shade. Do not even get her started on the impressive scale of the ball on the pull chain, which playfully contrasts with the seriousness of the marble. This lamp effortlessly transitions from a cozy bedside fixture in a mountain retreat to a refined light source in a sophisticated beachfront home.
C. Pale Blue Wide Stripe Indigo Stripe Frill Cushion by Katy Takla
A striped blue pillow, really, Morgan? If you know Morgan, you know she has a soft spot for stripes. This particular pillow earned a spot in her top five picks because of its standout feature: the flange. The flange is the decorative border that extends beyond the edge of the pillow, adding a sophisticated touch. This pillow exemplifies how a simple design can make a bold statement and serve as the perfect finishing touch for any room. Also, the pillow is just cute!

These tiles masterfully blend traditional Delft artistry with a contemporary design twist, featuring whimsical patterns that add a unique charm to any space. What makes these tiles particularly special is their playful yet sophisticated design. At first glance, the quirky elements like snails or waffles might not be immediately apparent, but upon closer inspection, they reveal delightful details that can make a space feel uniquely tailored to each client’s tastes. It’s this blend of subtlety and surprise that Morgan finds so captivating creating an interior that feels both personalized and refreshingly original. She adores the cozy charm of the ear muffs tile, a fun and lighthearted addition that challenges the notion that decor always needs to be serious. Perfect for adding a touch of whimsy, these tiles are ideal for bringing a bit of the mountain exterior of Park City into your interior, especially in an après-ski setting.
