New Designs, Fabrics & Furnishings

NIERMANN WEEKS COLLABORATION Niermann Weeks, the premier source for custom, handmade lighting, announced their first licensed collection. The line will feature more than 25 of their signature lighting designs, including ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, table and floor lamps. This new collection offers lower priced versions while upholding the traditional Niermann Weeks’ style. Shoppers can currently find the original, custom pieces at Design House, Inc. with the new line arriving early this fall. Design House, Inc. Showroom 115

SAINT MALO PORCELAIN The Saint Malo porcelain tile collection is now available at Thorntree Slate & Marble. Saint Malo porcelain evokes the look of a classic natural stone, but with all of the benefits of a porcelain. Imagine an open floor plan covered in the subtle undertones, reminiscent of the French seaside. The collection is available in a large format (24x24) yet can also be cut easily for smaller areas, such as shower walls. This gorgeous collection will timelessly enrich any décor. Thorntree Slate & Marble Showroom 167

AUDREY JANE DECORATIVE PILLOWS Anything But Plain, Houston’s Premier Decorative Painting and Plaster Company, has expanded their craft as Audrey Jane Designs and are creating custom, decorative pillows. Each Audrey Jane pillow is hand painted on natural fibers, sewn and filled with quality down feathers to create a beautiful, unique accent for any home. Anything But Plain Showroom 277

KARTELL BY LAUFEN Fixtures & Fittings is thrilled to announce their new line Kartell by Laufen, an unprecedented collection that takes its place on the market stage as an aspirational project with great persuasive capacity. With design and total quality as its watchwords, the Kartell by Laufen bathroom takes shape as an interconnected ecosystem where washbasins, sanitaryware, taps and fittings, storage units, shower bases, bathtubs, lights and accessories coexist with the maximum flexibility. The collaboration has brought to life the revolutionary SaphirKeramik – a material twice-as-strong, more ecological and thinner than ceramic – that allows performance characteristics that were unthinkable until today. Fixtures & Fittings Showroom 171

COLOR-COATED GLASS Sleek color-coated glass countertops and backsplashes in over 300 colors and various widths all available at Dauphin Sales. Functional and extremely attractive, glass countertops and backsplashes make it possible to integrate art into the kitchen, as well as many other areas of the home. Glass is a non-porous material; therefore, there are no chances of bacteria and mold thriving on countertops like it can on granite. Best of all, these “green” glass countertops and backsplashes are recyclable, sustainable, and LEED approved. This gorgeous Dauphin Sales + Ken Kehoe & Co. collaboration of design is just one of the many ways to incorporate glass into the home. Dauphin Sales Showroom 273

NEW FABRIC COLLECTION Scalamandré welcomes its newest collection, Modern Nature. Inspired by the beautiful textures, patterns and hues of nature, this collection gives a luxurious, of-the-moment look to the contemporary interior. Silky velvet, metallic ink, fine satin and the subtle glint of embroidery add a bit of shimmer and urbane glamour to soft, supple cotton and linen weaves. Ideal for layering with Scalamandré’s newest metallicized cork, grasscloth and metal leaf wallcoverings, these textured fabrics layer together seamlessly for a variety of interior schemes. Their quiet sophistication and peaceful palette are perfect for creating a natural retreat from the modern world. Scalamandré Showroom 103
