Ochre!



I'm not talking about the color (we love that too) but the brilliant design atelier from France and England with a storefront in NYC. Stunning chandeliers that captivate with their originality and the whimsical texture they bring to clean-lined interiors. Well-designed, practical and chic modern furniture, with upholstery in velvets, linens, mohairs. Cool accessories, such as the stunning large mercury-glass mirror (I want that!) and textiles from artisans in Africa. Many pieces use reclaimed materials, such as the gorgeous baskets woven in France from old paper (see below). Nothing mass produced. Perfect for a Chic Provençal look as well as Cottage Chic, Rustic Chic, and Modern Eclectic.


this very rustic reclaimed wood table contrasts
wonderfully with whimsical shape of the lights


absolutely stunning distressed steel cabinet is tres chic!


in this lidded bench you can see the quality of the fabrics and workmanship:
velvet & leather pillows, linen-lined chest


mercury glass top and shelf for this
spare iron end table


suspended "pears" of glass look stunning as curving chandelier



I love this iron-based table in walnut with mercury glass
insert (the backdrop's not too bad either!)



chain mail chandelier is drapey and atmospheric



closer view of the pear drop chandelier with two gorgeous
upholstered pieces in the background


Ochre's small "Snooze Sofa" in nubuck & velvet is fabulously chic
under another pear drop chandelier


gesso and bole framed mercury glass mirror
presides beautifully over the salon


another stunning distressed steel cabinet


linens from Africa


wine bottle basket carrier lends a great
touch of rough texture to sleek, modern rooms


I love these African baskets; they are made
in many colors


this French basket is woven from paper that
has been coiled into strips
