The tradition of the nude and the beauty of the gesture come to life in a stunning drawing created using charcoal and ink by New York artist, Mary Mihelic. An exclusive designed for Lazy Susan, her nude drawing reflects the emotion of simple marks, which capture the relaxed movement of the pose. The beauty of the charcoal and ink nude exemplifies her artistic ability to create works of art where the shapes evolve from the steps of combining different materials.

As homeowners, condo dwellers or apartment renters our places of living all have different shapes, smells and levels of comfort. The meaning of home is unique to each individual. Yet most can agree that there is no place like it, but finding the perfect balance and look in your home can often be a challenge. That ugly sentimental chair, strange shaped rooms, budgets and plain mental blocks, at times create what appears to be insurmountable restrictions. It’s time to push your ego aside and get a taste of the truth. Ask an expert! It's the remedy to sanity and making a home, your home.

A classic NYC scene but there are just not as many dog walkers with big dog packs anymore. Love it!
We're such fans of ELLE Decor magazine. Editor in Chief Michael Boodro and the brilliant Anita Sarsidi have made it so chic. With crisp, clean art direction and smart journalistic style, no wonder it's been winning award after award. We recently had a chance to spend some time with Parker Bowie, who selects new products for the editorial pages, when she visited our New York showroom. What a treat! She told us about some upcoming trend stories for Fall - we won't tell, but we will say those upcoming issues are going to be fascinating. In the June issue, Parker included Lazy Susan's Crystal Hurricane in a roundup on great candle holders. See it on the very last page, which the editors call "etcetera".
What would you do with $750,000? We can only imagine what miraculous things the Red Cross of Greenwich will be able to do with the impressive three quarters of a million dollars they raised last Saturday night at the Red & White Ball. In a private jet hangar in White Plains, a group of designers, floral artists and other creative-types had gathered earlier in the day to fashion festive red-and-white themed tablescapes of all descriptions. The event was aptly titled "Help is Here," and we are so very honored to have been a part of this fundraiser. Just in time for summer, Creative Director Renee Wightman and her team created a lighthearted table-scape entitled Tropic of Glamour. It offered a sophisticated mix of faceted clear crystal, hand-blown glass, white bisque porcelain and metallic silver elements with shapes, forms and textures from nature –shells, pebbles and botanicals. The table was chock-full of clever take-home ideas. Silver nautilusshells that served as napkin holders were a big hit with the design-minded crowd. White bisque porcelain traysin the shape of banana leaves replaced the standard charger plates, and chunky crystal candleholdersof various heights were topped - not with the expected tapers - but rather with life-sized porcelain pineapples, an international symbol of welcome.
Lazy Susan’s very talented vice president and creative director, Renee Wightman, was honored this weekend in Dallas during the 22nd Annual ARTS Awards. Renee received Best Product Designer of the Year from one of the most prominent industry organizations. The Accessories Resource Team (ART) picks a panel of industry judges to select outstanding decorative accessory manufacturers, product designers and sales representatives who were nominated by industry professionals and peers.
Nominees waited in suspense during the black tie gala held this past Saturday evening during the Dallas Market. Accompanied by LS team members and family Renee was ecstatic to receive the award. Lazy Susan is glowing from the win and we are just so proud of Renee. She has been creating our beautiful line for over four years.
We would like to congratulate all winners who were honored this year!
Lets celebrate with cake and champagne!
