COPPER MADNESS

I'm a tad copper crazed. And by that, I mean I have a Single White Female-esque unhealthy obsession with the stuff. I love it in any form and in any finish - shiny or burnished, whatever. Nothing beats it when you're after a super cool "ooh ahh" effect and it provides a warmth and richness that no other material can offer. I'm biased, but it's true. Its uses are honestly endless - I even just recommended it as an exposed curtain rod in lieu of the conventional boring rods out on the market. And best of all, you can get it from your local hardware store. Tom Dixon has been kicking butt with copper over the last few years with the Copper Shade and a whole range of other light fittings and general homeware accessories. Danish designer David Derksen also has a cool range of faceted copper light pendants. But the release of Blue Dot's Copper Real Good Chair has blown my mind! They should've named it the really, REALLY freakin' awesome chair. At the very least, try some "pops" of copper in your home. See how that bedroom (pic enclosed) is lifted by the inclusion of that copper cushion. It really does work magic. Do it, if only just for me.
