Our “Mediterranean Modern” project just got noticed! These are some of the words we have heard used to discuss this project. One of the favorites of all of my projects was just published in Gentry Magazine, which is a magazine for the “Gentry”, or land owners, on the Peninsula here in the Bay area. Click on the link, GENTRY MAGAZINE, and go to page 204 to see the entire spread for yourself.

Thanks, Gentry, for sharing my work with our little world!
I just had a minute to go through my stack of design magazines that are waiting patiently for me to give them some attention. And there I found the February edition of Italian AD (Architectural Digest). On the front cover was the following: “Trend: Design etnico”. Now, I don’t speak Italian, but I knew enough to translate that into a confirmation of my blog titled “Ethnoglamour, is it a trend?”. So now we know for sure, yes, it is a trend! And you heard it here first…….
All the best to you,
Jane

At the Tribal Art and Textile Show in San Francisco this past weekend, I was surprised by the number of dealers there from Europe. Brussels, Paris and Munich were well represented.

This weekend, I was thinking about the use of ethnic art and artifacts in contemporary interiors. There are so many unique textiles and decorative objects that can be used in rooms, but use too many of them and it looks very Santa Fe, 1987. A great way to use them is as sculpture in an otherwise clean and glamorous interior. Continue reading 'Ethnoglamour Design – Is it a Trend?'»
