Candy & Candy

After devouring two new favorite coffee table books at the Hempel Hotel in London, I discovered the design firm of Candy & Candy. Now, their taste is very rich, indulgent, glossy London. It's not for everyone and most of us don't live in a $20M flat, need to redecorate our jet or refurb our yacht. But, there are some really cool designs that come out of this firm.

Open, blue and white with a touch of black.

I love how the cabinets and doors are rounded with the portico style window in each. Very nautical.

Did I mention they also publish their own magazine? Super posh and trendy for design.

A Monaco townhouse...very masculine and clean looking.

Oh, this is their humble reception entrance at their headquarters. Gray all the way.

Design in an Art Space. Love the silver drop chandelier...it looks like dripping mercury.

This is their book, "Art of Design." It is an excellent and unique addition to your design books.

And, finally, my new favorite coffee table book of The New York Times Magazine top photos. I have been so disappointed by fashion and design coffee table books lately that these really held my attention and will provide a whole new conversation piece for your table or bookshelf.
