Bridging the Gap

Furnishings I love have long fallen into the category flatly labeled as "transitional." It's the type of unassuming name you half expect to see replaced by something more permanent and dynamic. It seems the name - and the stylish pieces with in the category - are here to stay. Phoenix Home & Garden recently ran a lovely feature on the current love affair designers are having with the timeless looks these transitional pieces lend to spaces.

We love that they featured the straightforward sophistication a few of our favorite pieces. Here's what they had to say:

"New Attitude: A softly curved back and classic waterfall skirt define Pearson’s contoured petite slipper chair. The bookcases, also from Pearson, feature doors embellished with a quatrefoil design."

Side note: the ivory fabric those chairs are upholstered in is some of the most supple velvet I've ever found. It is woven in Belgium exclusively for Pearson and offers a very unique cut face that, combined with smartly placed shading offers a surprisingly realistic blossom and leaf pattern.
