Broken Design

Surprise, it's that time of the year again!

2021 MENORAH ROUNDUP For this upcoming Hanukkah here's a collection of Menorahs to let in the light and design into our lives.

Forgive me readers for I have sinned. It has been way too long since my last post.
For my social resurfacing I've collected a few examples of joyful, whimsical, colorful rooms, because although I'm a big fan of monochrome, I'm also enthusiastic about color when being applied correctly.

2020 was nothing but linear or predictable, so it's only understandable that we search for comfort in the realm of our homes. Because we can't really leave them.
Without further ado let me introduce you to the curved sofa, our current hope for a year of comfort and plush (right after Covid-19 vaccine).

Hanukkah is nearly here, with its endless spelling variations, deep-fried dough, colorful candles, and abundance of gifts for the kids.
This year, more than ever, bringing in the light cannot be more symbolic, and for that reason I've collected some beautiful Menorahs to brighten up the holiday's 8 nights, and hopefully the days to come.
