WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO AT HIGH POINT: JEFFREY ALAN MARKS FOR PALACEK

As I head down to High Point Market this coming weekend, I already know of a few exciting line launches that I am anticipating. One of the collections I'm most looking forward to seeing live is the Million Dollar Decorator cast member, LA-based interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks' Collection by Palacek. Taking advantage of Palacek's global design, sourcing and strength in natural materials, the line incorporates woven wicker, cerused oak, and bamboo, celebrating the artistic ability of the craftsmen who create woven goods with aplomb.  From lighting to wall art, with pillows, sofas, lots of chairs, side tables, coffee tables and accent pieces, the refined, light and beachy collection captures the design ethos that we have come to love from Jeffrey Alan Marks.  It is livable, in a very easy, California way. These are some of the highlights from the minimal chic line, and seeing the entire assortment styled together by JAM  is one of the reasons it is such  a treat to attend High Point Market.

WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU BUNGALOW 5?

As it turns out, a lot is new!
Bungalow 5 co-founder Luca Rensi started his company with partner John Roudabush, who was away when I stopped into their NYC showroom for a visit. Rensi and I first met years ago when we both worked for interior designer David Kleinberg. I am constantly amazed at their prolific design ability, along with Marina Lanina, they continue to dream up so many unique and wonderful pieces every season. Championing wrapped lacquer, the classic Parsons Table and traditional go-to's, Bungalow 5 is going great guns.
This designing duo travels constantly. The million mile member program? Yes, Luca is a member of that. But they still manage to find the time to style their New York based flagship showroom to the hilt, located at 251 West 30th Street.
