Landy Gardner Interiors

We have recently taken on a new project on the Upper East Side. The main focus of the project will be the living room. We will be replacing the old coffee table as well as some other changes. I started thinking about the coffee table last week when I was at the Collective Design Fair and couldn't be more excited about the the ICFF this weekend. (I'm sure to be overloaded with ideas by the time the weekend is finished.) As the search hasn't been narrowed at all, I thought I'd post a smattering of tables that caught my eye today.

The ever handy tray that will accompany an upholstered ottoman becomes an interesting detail.

Even though the room is neutral and calm, the contrasting wood of the table creates an interesting tension.

Glass and metal lighten the mood in this cobalt chamber.

The perfect accessory to provide function without taking away from the statement pieces.

For those not concerned with storage, only style, this mirrored box is perfect.

An interesting detail in an otherwise ordinary table.

If one won't due, perhaps you should go for four.

This organic table is the compliment to Lindsey Adelman's chandelier.

If warped reflections are your thing, surely this is the table for you. 

This week, New York has been taken over by punks. ...or perhaps that was just Monday night at the Met Gala. Even Anna Wintour was in on the fun. At least to the extent that she was willing to be photoshopped. Caroline and I were talking about this event a few days ago and thought it would be fun to see where punk has influenced interiors.

Sometimes all you need is a Union Jack to get the punk vibe going.

Today I headed west. All the way west to Pier 57 on the Hudson River to the Collective .1 Design Fair. Even though there weren't tons of vendors, there were plenty of beautiful things to look at. I also appreciated there being fewer vendors as everything seemed easier to focus on. (I suppose this is training for when the ICFF rolls in to town in a couple of weeks.) I snapped a few pictures of possible ideas for a couple of new clients we have.

This Maison Gerard chair was chic and extremely comfortable

While this is not my favorite textile to ever grace a chair, I'm loving this BDDW chair

I loved the elegance of this Mondo Cane chair.

And finally, one of my favorite bits. This light installation by David Trubridge.
