Sun Dance
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 4/1/2007
A new brand of Southwest style sweeps in with remarkable sophistication. Loaded with chic, the focus here is on clean forms, a connection to nature and a stripping down of non-essentials — leaving only designs of beauty and simplicity in place. Earthy wood, layered textures and a sun-drenched palette evoke the call of wide-open spaces, shot with shimmering metallics for a dose of big-city luxe.
