Magic Carpet

LONG before the broomstick became popular with witches in medieval Europe, the flying carpet was being used by thieves and madmen in the Orient.

The fabric is quite original and expressive, which inspired me to go in the ‘magic carpet’ direction. If you’re looking for a fun and eccentric piece, this is the one for you. Small metal accents adorn the chair so even the most discerning Ancient Mongolian would approve.

Grab a book, turn on some Steppenwolf, and go on an adventure atop your own retro magic carpet!

 

Not Your Grandma's Folding Chair

 This is a folding chair that won’t end up stacked in your garage. Instead, this chair will join the other furniture inside of the house and become a regular ‘supporter’ of friends and guests. It’s not too big, not too small, and just the right amount of busy to add some spark to your room.

Want to add a little excitement to your favorite room without the risk of a firing squad?

The exotic Mata Hari Lamp will enliven your day with bright colors, and warm up your night with the glow through its seductive designs.

Inspiration comes from the infamous costumes of the dancer turned spy, Mata Hari.
This piece is hand painted with oil based paint pens and finished with a tassel trim, finial, and Edison style light bulb.
