Top Picks With Blane Charles

1.) LOLOLEY

They make fantastic luxury hospitality carpets. The new rugs designed by Karim Rashid for BDNY 2016 feature “a faceted pattern that is an abstract representation of the way we perceive the 3D world that we live in. Available in a rectangular form or asymmetrical, organic shape, the crystalline textile adds new dimension to any space, enlivening the room with effulgent color and character.”

2.) ALTERED GRAVITY by Stacy Garcia for Brintons

Stacy Garcia for Brintons Carpet: Altered Gravity

Design Gallery merged such a multi sensory immersion of warmth and coziness creating a stay for awhile experience in which I did! Instead of letting our digital age dictate, Stacy utilized this technology to translate her personal artistic expression and as she states, “Break Boundaries!” My favorite addition was the custom knit, made in the USA, throws & bed scarves made from 100% recycled cotton and poly.

3.) GARDEN ON THE WALL

Fameed’s  “Prêt-à-Porter” collection of exotic and unconventional surfaces like crushed metal, sequin pailettes, woven leather, and glass beading and much more provide unique and unlimited possibilities.

DIFFA

Last but definitely not least, is an honorary mention of my DIFFA Water Bottle, one of prized possessions from BDNY 2016 celebrating their ‘Specify With Care’, DIFFA’s cause-marketing program which invites companies to donate a percentage of sales from designated collections to benefit DIFFA’s mission. Support from participates ensures that DIFFA has the resources to help HIV/AIDS organizations year-round and respond quickly to the needs of the organizations it supports.
