We've covered silver before (see Palette & Paints: Silver). These photos inspired us to think about more minimalist metallics.
Below: New York architect David Hotson adds a dash of glamour to a NYC kitchen, improbably mixing a silver Bisazza backdrop with Donald Judd-like seating.
Below: We have extolled the virtues of Michael Anastassiades in the past (our design heroine, Ilse Crawford, used his lights in her brilliant design for the Hotel Stockholm). We recommend his Double Wall Mirror Ice Bucket; $155 at Vivre.

Below: Tulipe Chair Edition Steiner; from Design Artefact. Via Grijs.

Below: One of our favorite lighting fixtures is Verner Panton's reissued FlowerPot lamp; available in polished aluminum for $207.04 at Scandinavian Design Center.

Below: A clever idea for adding reflective light to an otherwise somber room: a silver painted door, by architect Bruce Bolander. Benjamin Moore Silver Metallic Latex Glaze will do the trick.

Below: A glamour bed from Ilse Crawford.

Below: A more modernist mercury glass light than most of the ones currently available. Note the red electrical cord.

Below: A subtle pattern of silver tiles adds gleam to this backsplash of Bisazza tile; via Living Etc.

The mercury lamp is beautiful. Can you tell me who designed it and where it can be found? ... I love your blog. Thank you for the inspiration.
