10 Printed Furniture Pieces That Pop!

Lisanne Silverman on Mar 6, 2008 11:16 AM PST

Looks like the print phenomenon has jumped from couture to furniture! I consider printed furniture the costume jewelry of the interior design world-- when kept to a minimum, the look is striking but not overkill. It goes without saying that these printed pieces are real scene stealers, so let them have the spotlight and let your other accents merely accent. From well-placed patterns to the most wayward and whimsical ones out there, I've found ten of the coolest printed pieces in the Hive from designers including Kartell, Marimekko, and Missoni. Watch the slideshow and tell me which one gets your vote!

Marimekko Kids Couture, It's Just Too Cute For Words

jennifer jordan on Jan 9, 2008 1:54 PM PST

Best known for a winning combination of simple designs and brightly-colored patterned fabrics, Finnish design powerhouse Marimekko is one of my top choices when it comes to dressing kids in the hottest high-quality designer duds. Founded in 1951, the Marimekko aesthetic derives from the application of superior Scandinavian graphic design to textiles. Some of the most successful uses for the company's famous prints are found in their current Kids' Collection, where the whimsy of children's clothing finds a perfect partner in Marimekko's colorful, relaxed designs. Check out my favorite examples in the slideshow!
