Editor’s Choice: Summit Design Day & Night
Design NJ was honored to be the media sponsor for this year’s Design Day & Night held in the Summit Design District, a one-stop shopping destination for gifts, accessories, furniture, lighting, flooring, custom upholstery and all things home fashion. We spent a day touring the many shops, including the fabulous fine art galleries, antique stores and expert frame shops that popped up at every turn. Along the way we tagged our top eight finds or discoveries:
Serena & Lily: Terrace Dining Table
Perfectly at home on a terrace or in the dining room, this pedestal table can be paired with a coordinating top for a monochromatic look (shown) or in a darker tone for contrast. The slab-style surface adds a modern touch to the more traditional lines. Both pieces are artfully shaped from reconstituted stone, with subtle imperfections that lend the lived-in look of well-loved pieces. www.SerenaAndLily.com
A. Home: Fermoie Lamp Shades
Fermoie has a wide range of fabric lampshades in sizes and colors to suit every need. Lampshades are gathered, made in printed Fermoie cotton and linen fabrics and supplied with appropriate fittings and shade carriers. A. Home is one of the brand’s exclusive U.S. retailers. www.ahomesummit.com
