After Our Hearts, pt I

This is the first in what will be a series of what we at LIMN SF have fallen in love with. It may be a piece, or a setting, or just something that catches our eyes...


Fun Pendant - J Luger for Verner Panton


The Fun Pendent, by J Luger for Verner Panton. Designed in 1964, this design has the options of aluminum or mother-of-pearl discs, and can be purchased as hanging pendent, floor lamp, or table lamp. By the way, the bird house in the background is a cool piece of mixed media by local artist Lynn Criswell




Org Table - Fabio Novembre for Cappellini



No other piece in the showroom gets more scratched heads and confused looks than Fabio Novembre's Org table for Cappellini. The glass top appears to float, while dozens of ropes hang from it. In reality, six of the "ropes" are solid and support the glass.




Traviata Sofa- Giorgio Armani for Armani/Casa



Armani/Casa is a brand for the most discerning of tastes. Giorgio Armani's fashion aesthetic carries over into his furniture line, featuring clean, understated pieces paired with luxurious fabrics. Shown here, is the Traviata Sofa.


Moraine Sofa - Zaha Hadid for Saway Moroni



This is one you really have to see in person. Zaha Hadid's Moraine sofa makes the Mobius strip seem sexy. It is a striking sculptural design, but still manages to be comfortable and functional, in the right space. Manufactured by Sawaya & Moroni.
