Blue Frog Restaurant and Bar in Mumbai is treat for the senses. The fine dining haute spot is filled with a semicircle of undulating cellular booths at different sizes and heights that gathers around a central stage for live musical performances.
The differing heights of the banquette seating for up to ten people are unified by a glowing acrylic resin surface.
Esquire's most recent Ultimate Bachelor Pad is now unveiled in SoHo and is it ever dressed to impress. In the main area you'll find the Cuelight Pool Table by Obscura Digital. Special sensors track the movement of the billiard balls below, the sensors then activate the projector above that creates the illusions you see. You can customize the reactions to look like water, streaks of lights, or make movement reveal an image. Obscure digital is known for their inovative creations that help companies advertise in new and different ways, that is how this works so well for Esquire, just pop a picture in of the latest cover. iJustine toured the Esquire SoHo house (check out the amazing black glossy ceiling at 2:56 on her video) and featured this pool table. The Cuelight projector can be installed over an existing pool table, you just need a place above to mount it. You know, I could totally see Google picking up acouple of these for their staff.

Bandini Italian Faucets

Bandini is an opluent Italian company that carries many striking bath faucets and fittings. Take the Seta for example. The modern broken rectangle design is an elegant composition of chrome. The straight reserved lines of thise faucet has been coxed to bend with the water to the basin, and the operating lever has bent the opposite direction, giving the faucet a wonderful balance. The Arya follows the same respect to water, with a glass extended lip for water to cascade down below. The wall mounted design offers many fun possibilities, like installed in the face of a mirror. The clean lines and simple shapes are a minimalists' dream come true.

I love the feathered quill design on this hansome flatware design, even though I have a hard time thinking about the term feathered in a positive way now (I was the feathered hair child of the 80's for a long time). Pottery Barn's own very own design is a great transitional flatware that can go from casual to glamorous depending on the dressed table. The Quill Flatware settings were even featured this morning at Pioneer Woman's site where she mixed and matched different pieces from Pottery Barn like "Horn" and "Petiole" to get a fun mismatched look.

Vessel Sink in a Kitchen
Written by Eva

Designer Cynthia Leibrock has spent three years renovating Green Mountain Ranch to be a universally designed home they can live in for the rest of their lives. It is a beautiful home that marries function and gorgeous aesthetics in the best design relationship I have seen. The kitchen is another great example of accessibility and looks. There are few upper cabinets, but the lowers are made of Santos Rosewood and that veneer has been carried up to the ceiling to continue the look of the interesting grains of the wood. What I love the most about this kitchen is the Timpani Vessel Lavatory Sink by Kohler that sits on the antimicrobial countertop. Usually used in bathrooms, this sink becomes a fun prep sink for guests to use if they are helping out without getting in the way of the hostess. Bowls on counters as a accent are common, but this is a new twist that will get plenty of use.
The Timpani Vessel Sink is made of stainless steel as does most kitchen sinks, so why not? I could see it filled with ice and cooled drinks for a party, or just on its' own, showing off its' broad brim and that gorgeous satin finish.
