One thing I wish there had been more of in Milan was accessories. I’m rather partial to them.

That’s why I was happy to spend some time in the Paola C. booth. The company makes beautiful tabletop pieces, as well as some lighting and a couple of little end tables.

The line includes glassware, teapots, candlesticks and trays. I especially liked their aluminum trays.

Paola C. designs beautiful ceramics as well. The Mouse teapot is new this year.
Check their website for store locations around the world. You can buy Paola C. online at Table Art.







If you love accessories you should check out the Ambiente show in Frankfurt. It is HUGE, all tabletop, super high end all the way down. It’s in February though (although there is a fall one too I think).
Alternately I understand that the Objet et Maison show in Paris is outstanding as well, although I’ve never been. And, well, it’s in Paris.
I’ve heard about the Ambiente show. Unfortunately, the Design Hole travel budget is currently limited. :)
But that’s a tough choice - the best stuff ever or Paris. I’ll have to think about it.
