icff 2010 trends: inspired by nature (part 1)
last week i went through a slew of trends that i saw at ICFF (circles, facets + organic shapes, wood + metal, fun textures + shapes) and today i’m wrapping things up with a two part post on my favorite trend: design inspired by nature. i’ve picked 15 of my favorite pieces, so i hope you’ll stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!

Grace, you have such a great eye for these things! I ADORE the ethereal jellyfish chandeliers–they are very other worldly.
I almost bought one of hao shi’s rings too! I also loved the cork bowl that another vendor was selling right beside her, but they weren’t at their table when I passed by..
Love this! Especially the top one – birds and the tree – delightful! Those wooden owls are a hoot ;)
Ooh! Seriously wanting one of Amy Helfand’s rugs – gorgeous!
so many beautiful things!
i’m still not tired of owls… they’re so great… an the tree shelf is lovely, too.

Oh Jonathan Adler… just take my checkbook! Wonderful pix, wish I could have gone!
Am loving your coverage of the Stationary Show!
Oh my gosh…Lindsay Alker’s silkscreened linens…..I think my eyes are rolling into the back of my head! So beautiful……
And those ‘jellyfish’ chandeliers are exquisite.
And I love the beetle shelves! And the jungle wallpaper….ahh…..

I was just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what “after the jump” means…..

the jump is the point at which the post stops and continues after the “CLICK HERE” link. because i don’t want people to have to scroll forever for long posts i often break up long posts (like this one) so you can get a good preview and then click deeper into the post to read more.

Any information on how/where to purchase the build-able birds and tree in the first photo? That design just blows me away….Thanks!
