Categories: , , , , ,

Chatchada, Kamelyon Design, Vesta Home, Penta, Carrol Boyes, Mustardseed & Moonshine, Lindt Stymeist, and Riverside Design Group.

Covo Group teapots from Chatchada

Chatchada markets modern and contemporary objects for the home, mainly from Japan and Italy. The founders are architects who started this site to promote good design and create a design network. Above are Covo Group teapots offered by Chatchada.

Kamelyon Design is a company based in Austin, TX makes custom handmade lamps with solid wood bases and lampshades sculpted from laminated paper. Above is the Fish-on! pendant lamp from Kamelyon Design.

Vesta Home is a store in Arlington, VA offering bespoke (one-off, custom) contemporary furniture. It also sells Penta lamps and lighting fixtures from Italy.
UPDATE: Vesta Home closed in June 2006.
Potter & Mellen is a jewelry and tabletop store in Cleveland, OH, near the Cleveland Clinic. I will highlight its jewelry when I next update the Fashion pages, but P&M offers many brands of home accessories and tablewares which were new to me. Here are a few that caught my eye:

Carrol Boyes is a company based in Cape Town, South Africa that specializes in innovative, contemporary metalwork designs based on African motifs for the kitchen and home.

Mustardseed & Moonshine specializes in botanically inspired pottery. It is also based in Cape Town.

Lindt Stymeist is a company based in New Jersey that manufactures fine stoneware.

Riverside Design Group from Pennsylvania makes handcrafted tablewares from post-industrial/pre-consumer recycled glass

You may find links to Chatchada, Kamelyon Design, Vesta Home, Penta, Carrol Boyes, Mustardseed & Moonshine, Lindt Stymeist, and Riverside Design Group in the latest update of the Home and Design pages on The Style Page. We have also added a page on lighting and have expanded the carpets and floors page to include windows, walls, and doors. We're excited that our Home and Design pages are attracting more attention!
