THE KINDEST CUT: LOSTINE CUTTING BOARDS

Lostine has a way with wood.  The company, based out of Philadelphia, prides itself on it's US made, hand-hewn cutting boards of varying shapes and sizes. They have gained a following for their artisanal, nautical in feeling cutting boards, that you can find at stores like Anthropologie and ABC Carpet and Home. Whether stained a dark finish or accented with milk paint, their clever designs include self-hanging leather straps. I love functional pieces that looks great too. Bring one along as your next hostess or housewarming gift and be the hit of the party. The lucky recipient will never have a boring looking cheese presentation once this gorgeous piece in in their clutches.

THE LOWDOWN ON LOSTINE A NEW YORK GIFT SHOW FIND

Lostine, a brand new company I discovered at the New York Gift Show, is named after a small town in Oregon. The collection, designed by Robert True Ogden, celebrates American design and craft. You may know him from former company, Peddler's Home, where he created a rustic industrial aesthetic in everyday objects, lighting, found art and furniture. With Lostine, the pared down design and aged materials are clean and beautiful. Simple lines and early American inspiration make this new line a welcome one. Their simple hand drawn signage and border design have an Early American charm and easy vibe.



Wood cutting boards with painted color blocking and leather handles are Shaker in their clean simplicity



A great woven settee with wood frame has a great look and can go modern or traditional



A wood table with a rounded leg that ends in a dipped color reminds me of a modern Swedish piece with American sensibilities



A woven chair and seat back with a light wood frame is fantastic- a really welcome addition for it's craft feel



A pendant hanging lantern with cut glass and edison bulb has an old world look
