Modern wicker often seems like an oxymoron to me, but every once in a while I come across a wicker piece or two worthy of hanging out on a patio with some Bertoia or butterfly chairs. The Mono Chair is a wicker side chair in Beckham & Issa’s Lloyd Loom Collection. Beckham & Issa was formed by Nancy Beckham and Jane Issa, two hotel entrepreneurs, and their Lloyd Loom collection focuses on the Lloyd Loom process .

Jean-Pierre (J.P.) Canlis , known for his serene interpretations of nature in glass, has just crossed a new boundary. His Wheat Installation translates the mundane into elegance through a unique display of glass. Each stalk of wheat is hand made by the glass artist who resides in Seattle, Washington and runs his studio and gallery space in downtown Seattle. The Wheat can be scaled down to run down the center of a dining room table or fill a niche as tall as seven feet in height! The Raindrop Chandelier is a modern, fresh feel to the traditional “chandelier.” Inspired by the endless winters of the Pacific Northwest, the Raindrop Chandelier has the possibilities for large-scale installations in public spaces to private home centerpieces.
