15% OFF LE CORBUSIER BY CASSINA         10/05-10/19

Salvador Dalí at one point considered Le Corbusier a “friend” but was far from complimentary about him upon his death in 1965 calling Le Corbusier‘s buildings “the ugliest and most unacceptable buildings in the world” adding that Le Corbusier’s “death filled me with an immense joy. Le Corbusier was a pitiable creature working in reinforced concrete.” However, Dalí’s disdain didn’t stop him from putting flowers on Le Corbusier’s grave, as, in his words, “on the one hand I detested him but on the other hand I am an absolute coward.” On a happier note, the entire Le Corbusier furniture collection, made in Italy under exclusive license by Cassina, is on sale for 15 days in October.

15% OFF HERMAN MILLER LIGHTING 10/05-10/19

In 1952, George Nelson was inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish hanging lamps that were lovely but tedious to produce. He soon went to work designing his own series of lamps—and a more efficient process for making them. He used a resinous lacquer developed by the military for protecting decommissioned ships and planes. After spraying the lacquer over a wire cage, he coated the form in plastic to create a smooth, translucent skin. Already quite affordable considering their impact on your space, Herman Miller's Lighting Sale makes it possible to put a different Nelson lamp in several rooms.
