Jonathan Adler Pop Menagerie Christmas Tree Ornaments

Popmenagerie 
Jonathan Adler’s new Pop Menagerie range proves that Christmas tree ornaments don’t have to be twee or tinselly.

There are three ornaments in the collection; a lion, a peacock and an elephant. Each one is made from white porcelain, decorated with bright bursts of pattern, in the 60s/70s style we have come to expect from Jonathan Adler. They are suggested as an ideal commemorative gift for a baby’s first Christmas, and are supplied in a matching gift box, but I don’t think you need the excuse of a baby to add something this stylish to your tree.

The ornaments cost $28 each (about £20) from the Jonathan Adler website.

Jonathan Adler’s Peter Rug

354 
This midcentury looking rug is Jonathan Adler’s Peter Rug.

I’m not sure who it is named after and I think it “Peter” may be the name of the pattern, which appears on other Jonathan Adler products too, rather than the name of rug itself.

The retro influenced pattern consists of brown squares containing smaller red squares. The rug measures 4ft by 6ft and is handmade from llama wool. It costs $600 (around £400) from The Fusion Company.

Jonathan Adler’s Lolita-style sunglasses case

 

Petit_heartsunglass_pink

With summer fading into a memory for another year, it's sadly time to put the sunglasses away. What better way to keep them in style than with Jonathan Adler's heart sunglasses case

Since the 1962 film, heart sunglasses will forever be associated with Lolita and they still frequently crop up on the catwalk. The motif on this case is immaculately crafted using needlepoint and uses a Lolita-style colour scheme too – red frames against a bubblegum pink background. 

The case costs £30.

Jonathan Adler Relief Drip ceramic lamp

Adler_lamp

The Isamu Noguchi lamps of the 1950s have certainly been an inspiration for many modern-day pieces, even from the likes of Ikea. So it's no surprise to see the look turning up again – with a twist – in the Jonathan Adler Relief Drip ceramic lamp.

The profile is very much the same – that usual bulbous shade and tripod-style base, this time in polished nickel. But this is no paper shade, the one here is an unglazed translucent porcelain with perforations, a 150-watt bulb making sure the lamp emits a strong glow from within.

Available directly from the Jonathan Adler site, price is $295.

Jonathan Adler new lighting

Lamp_ravello1

New products from Jonathan Adler are always going to be worth a look for retro enthusiasts and his new lighting designs are no exception. 

The range uses a variety of materials, such as lucite or ceramics, to create unusual designs. Pictured is the distinctive looking Ravello, which tops off a base made from iron, teak and a ceramic tile with an oatmeal linen shade. It's a look that would fit well into a glamorous 60s interior. 

There's a significant price tag attached to the look too. This lamp costs $695, with prices for the new lights starting at $295.
