November Must Haves
This month marks the beginning of holiday planning, prep, and celebration. Here on CasaSugar, we'll also be exploring the world of color. From paint colors to vibrant home accents, I'll show you ways to add vibrance to your home through the use of color.
Desire/Acquire: Kartell Stone Stool
Designed by Marcel Wanders, the Kartell Stone Stool ($245) has a very precious appearance thanks to its geometrical facets, which reflect light like a Cartier engagement ring. I'm a fan of the stool's hourglass shape, and the range of colors offered allows you to cue the stool to your room's palette. But, like all of Kartell's products, it is made of plastic ("durable polycarbonate"), and at $245, many of you may consider it a splurge.
Love It or Hate It? Marcel Wanders Swing
The Marcel Wanders Swing ($512), a traditional tree swing wrapped with vines and manufactured by Droog, brings Peter Pan whimsy to your backyard. Would you call it your own, or would you prefer something a bit more traditional and rustic?

Crave Worthy: Droog's Swing With the Plants
If the Modern Cove was too tame for your jungle-inspired living room then let me introduce you to another swaying furniture option. Droog's Swing With the Plants ($550) will fit nicely into a botanically-themed room. Designed by Marcel Wanders, who was elected as “Designer of the Year 2005/2006” by Elle Decoration International Design Awards, the swing embodies his inventive style.
Roundup: Eggs in Your Place
I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have eggs in my place than egg on my face, which is why I was on the hunt again for fabulous Easter-inspired egg finds. Yesterday I showed you chicks, and today I present you with eggs. One of my favorite egg accents is the Droog Design Egg Vase ($146).
Weird Furniture: Where There's Smoke by Maarten Baas
Dutch designer Maarten Baas's "Smoke" is a series of a charred furniture finished with an epoxy resin so that the pieces are preserved instead of destroyed. A 2004 exhibition called "Where There's Smoke" at Moss in New York showcased the collection of 25 one-off pieces, including iconic designs by Gaudi, Eames, Rietveld, Sottsass, and the Campana Brothers among others, which had each been burned with a blow torch and then salvaged with the translucent sealant. At the exhibit, the pieces were put in a timeline from antique to modern, grouping pieces like a grandfather clock and chaise lounge together, and a second stage of pieces like an Eames LCW chair and Noguchi coffee table from 1900-1950 together.
