Who said doilies aren't cool?

Because these are not the doilies we used to see all over Granny's furniture.

These are sophisticated and fun, brightly coloured and ready for a good time indoors or out.

...but mostly out!

Sweeeeet! Crate And Barrel  Darling glass desert plates with a simple doily pattern to liven up your table after meals.


Swanky Swell  Vintage wrought iron bench upholstered with Swanky Swell Doilies fabric.  The fabric has been treated with Scotch Guard for extra protection. The frame has been re-lacquered with antique white color and is one of a kind. Works for indoor or outdoor.








I think these are one of the coolest things I have seen in ages. They are from Modern-Twist.  Eco-friendly and reusable food grade silicone has been used to make these hand silk screened Doilies. They have the appearance of being embossed and the pattern seems to come alive. Each package contains a patten and plain Doiles. 
Cluster Teal/Silver on Clear Base .. Plum/Copper on Clear Base ...Cluster Moss/Rose on Grey Base








Studio Doilies are also from Modern-Twist with bright colours to accent your table and showcase your food.  They are great for party presentations!










Marcel Wanders is amazing!

His designs always make me smile.  This chair was done on a limited edition of 20 for Droog Design at Art Basil in Miami.  Unfortunately, it is sold out, but it's so pretty :)  The description says it is a crochet chair.  I don't know.  To me, it looks like doilies.


And finally, Paola Lenti and her fabulous rugs.

The colours are deep and divine and are designed for indoor and outdoor use with a colour pallet that has something for everyone.  They do some custom sizes on the rug, however, due to the complexity of the design, only limited sizing.
