EYE SPY SUMMER 2021

The dog days of summer, hot days and humid nights, taking it easy and reading a good book.. enjoying the garden or the parks... or scrolling through Instagram...  

Work hard so you can play hard, that is my Daddy's advice. So it's time to reward ourselves, and take a deep breath.

We've been busy shoring up our NEW collection, and are launching a new price list next week, keep your eye out for it!

In the meantime, here's what I've been spying this week...              Xo,  John Lyle


I spy a pair of Artis Cocktail Tables...

styled by Jacket Interiors.

International firm @jacket_interiors works out of Johannesberg South Africa, Sydney Australia, and Basel, Switzerland! With a sophisticated pastel palette, two Artis cocktail tables in oil-rubbed bronze are genius in this space, and set off the gorgeous de Gourney Chinoiserie wallpaper! Below is the same table in our polished bronze finish. The bronze-colored glass lends extra elegance.


I spy a Glenda night stand...

styled by Arthur Durham for Jed Johnson.

"Silvers, grays and silvery grays. No distractions here, just cool, calm and collected." Says @adforjj, and wow, I couldn't agree more! I feel more relaxed just imagining myself in this luxurious bedroom. Truly masterful. Here our Glenda stand is in cool Water Grey shagreen, and its handy nook is filled with nightly reading.


I spy a Titan Fire Screen...

styled by Eve Robinson.

Eve posted this on Instagram a few days ago, @everobinsonassociates, and I am just wild for this entire room! So artfully curated, she uses our most tailored fire screen to great advantage. It is custom sized to fit your fire box exactly, it can have feet or mounting tabs or both, and the doors can be mesh or glass. The finish in her room is polished white bronze, and below is our oil-rubbed finish. Who says you have to use just one metal finish for a room? The art is in the mix!


I spy a trio of Hexagon tables...

styled by Knape and Zibell.

Colorado Dreaming! This cool master bedroom sitting area posted by @knapeandzibellinteriordesign features three of our Hexagon side tables, in three complimentary lacquered linen colors! Lacquered linen is one of our favorite finishes. It is so durable, has a wonderful visual texture, and we can match ANY paint ship you send us! Here they are shown in our Stone, Sand and Talc finishes. Great work Mary and Kelly, take us away!



I spy a Vestal Fire Screen and a Lampidaire Floor Lamp...

styled by Catherine Weinstock.

As a "tribute to Peggy Guggenheim, the art collector, bohemian, and socialite", this is just the sort of space we all need right now, as we dream of far away travels and keep our minds sharp and our hearts open. The best living spaces enrich our lives with art, beauty and function - and these deep brown and black patinas are perfectly set off by the slightly cool, slightly warm off-white. @cwidny, you nailed it!


Designer, keep cool, and keep your eyes peeled for great design!

Share with me what you find. Let's keep the conversation going!
