From Julie:
A first look at London-based designer Ilse Crawford’s recently completed Das Kranbach spa hotel in the Bavarian Alps. Crawford’s StudioIlse has revamped the interiors using her signature mix of unexpected color combinations and daring furniture mashups. Suddenly George Nelson bubble lamps look new again when hung in clusters; white bentwood chairs are at ease next to Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs. Traditional Colonial Windsor dining chairs seem fashionable when painted glossy red. How does she do it?

Based in the UK (although she ships worldwide), designer Jennifer Newman produces a line of vibrantly colored outdoor furniture in powder-coated aluminum. Her line has been exhibited at London’s 100% Design show, among other furniture fairs.

From Sarah and Janet:
We love the Fence Connect Chair by designer Alain Berteau for Belgian company Feld. The chairs can be linked in multiples to form a bench and are stackable when not in use. Available in several finishes (untreated, lacquered, varnished, stained teak, oak, or beech), for indoors or out, they are $219 each at Generate.

Based in Lyme, Connecticut, C L Sterling & Son makes some of the chicest outdoor lighting we’ve seen, including the Garden Shade pendant, shown below. Fabricated of anodized clear aluminum with an enameled interior (available in orange, yellow, or spring green), it can be used both indoors and out. For showrooms and product information, go to C L Sterling & Son.
