Going down to LONA-some town...

I recently discovered the Toronto-based furniture company, Lona Design, which was founded by Interior Designer Katherine Newman. Their furniture designs are modern and traditional, and somewhere in between which is why I like them so much. Here are a few of my favorite pieces...

Carre Settee - This is absolutely my favorite. Its covered with shagreen and bone inlay. I love the lines of this piece, so Jean-Michel Frank. I want one for me!

Mara Bookstand - This is a very handsome bookshelf/etagere, I think this would look fabulous in a traditional or a modern home.

Sojourn Chest - this feels very Tommy Parzinger to me. Great lines, and I love the contrast between the dark wood legs and the white lacquered chest.

Anabasis Desk - I love the simple lines of this, and the rich colour of the wood. This could be used as a console or in a living room, not necessarily just the study.

Lumiere Console - this glass and bronze credenza is so pretty. I would love to use this in a bathroom actually!

Prezio Desk - I love this too...It is very elegant but not too feminine. Could still be used as a dressing table, or a desk. Love the macassar ebony and bronze sabots.

Gracie Dining Table - I love the simplicity of this and I think it would work in pretty much any type of interior.

Rondo Ottoman - Love this too. I have a bit of a soft spot for round ottomans, not sure why. The wood base and legs give this a sturdy look and would make for great extra seating for cocktail parties!
