Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2009
From circles and rectangles to dots and spheres, geometric forms turn crisp and cutting-edge this season. Retro influences run a contemporary, as opposed to kitschy, course that is graphically brilliant. Deliciously deep hues balance pops of bold brights, guaranteed to provoke maximum visual enchantment. — Tracy Bulla

Finished in dark mahogany, a polished gourd extends upwards with elongated grace in Lamp Works’ eco-friendly wooden lamp ($449).
Orian’s machine-made Illusions rug combines yarns of different qualities and textures for ultra-plush appeal, punctuated by bold, overscale dots ($169, 5x8).
