nyc designer jeffrey goodman is well known for his work with glass. goodman’s j good design studio is based in greenwich village and consistently produces elegant, modern lighting. his oculus pendants (above) and the dome pendant lamp below are some of my favorite pieces. goodman’s design are simple enough to let the beauty of the glass shine through, but sleek enough to stand on their own. click here to place an order or find more information on jeffrey goodman at j good design.

rehti is a group of young finnish designers churning out some really beautiful products. i’m loving this kelkka alumninum lamp and decorative wege cast iron pan (available here). not sure how practical the pan is, but i love the idea of decorating a normally ignored part of the object. you can find more information on rehti design right here. enjoy!

d*s reader reka just passed along some great links to some of her favorite scandinavian designers. i really enjoyed the link to järvi & ruoho, a design duo based in helsinki (their name is finnish for lake and grass). järvi & ruoho have a site full of great prototypes that i thought might be a fun window shop- nothing for sale it seems, but this duo is full of potential. i especially love the h+ lamp they designed- it’s simple and modern and a great indication of the sleekness this team of capable of. click here for more info on järvi & ruoho. thanks, reka!

i’m a big fan of chicago’s agnes and hoss. designer stephanie waddell’s work is sophisticated, modern and full of rich, saturated colors. i’ve written about stephanie’s gorgeous textiles before, but she’s just launched a fantastic new line of lighting combining elegant lighting fixtures with her trademark floral fabrics. stephanie partnered with stonegate designs to produce the roots collection which includes single and double arm sconces, a table lamp, floor lamp and a triple pendant chandelier. each piece has an organic, floral feel to it is available in ten of stephanie’s printed silk fabrics (more to come) right here. you can order directly through stonegate’s dealers right here (prices start at $450). thanks for the heads up, stephanie- these are lovely! [stephanie’s lights will be available at 2modern as well, i’ll update when they’re up]

my friend jennifer and i poked our heads in a local used book store a few weeks ago and i picked up a gently used copy of nest: for two by allison serrell. it’s an interesting look at how to create a “harmonious” look in a home shared by two people. if you’re looking for inspiration in your own home, i highly suggest it. the rooms all share a sort of modern french country meets california look, which is something i’m totally loving right now. i’m finding myself drawn to really creamy warm colors and this book is full of them. so, if you’re looking for a new design read, check out the lovely photos in nest: for two ($29.95 by chronicle books). enjoy!
