Sleek Chair by Saba Italia

The epitome of modern Italian design, this geometric chair with angular chrome legs has both a futuristic and retro vibe. The chair was produced by the furniture design house Saba Italia in 2014. Designed by Sergio Bicego, this sophisticated yet simply elegant chair is dubbed "New York." As is typical of Saba, the chair was offered in a variety of fabrics and finishes, but this bright burnt orange velvety cover would thrill a Texas Longhorn fan as much as a connoisseur of contemporary furniture design. 


Established in 1987 by Amelia Pegorin in San Martino di Lupari, Italy, Saba is one of the few design companies operated by a woman CEO. Working with a variety of world-renown designers, Saba creates furnishings that are artistic and ergonomic, combining clean linear designs with bold colors. Bicego was born in 1953 and left formal education to research furniture design and building on his own. He opened his independent design studio 1991 and began collaborating with Saba in 1993. 


What is better than one Saba New York chair? How about a pair of chairs (sold separately). . . .

A Collectible Costume Gem

This big beautiful brooch is a scarce vintage piece by designer Gray Kingsburg. Working in New York  from the 1920s through the 1940s, his pieces are know for their bold design and meticulous metalwork, especially his use of delicate filigree details. Kingsburg adorned his works with art glass gems and beads. Many of his designs incorporate Asian or Oriental elements, such as as the finely carved cinnabar beads bedecking this brooch.


The precious pin carries Kingsburg's plaque on the back. This unusual hand-crafted creation would be the perfect gift for a collector of costume jewelry or for an enthusiast of vintage couture.
