Quick Hits: A Sherbet-Colored Chair, Kush-Inspired Room Sprays, and a Sculptural Sconce

Welcome to the latest installment of Sitting Pretty: Quick Hits, a monthly roundup of covetable furniture, decor, and objets d'art from one design-obsessed writer.

Vintage Brno tubular chair 

Designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930, this iconic seat with a curving, single-piece steel frame is one of the first cantilevered chairs ever produced. Typically, you’ll find the 20th-century furnishing—which is still in production today—upholstered in black or white leather. Instead, New York boutique Coming Soon has delightfully refurbished the piece with a sweet orange velvet that’s so bright it rivals a scoop of sherbet.

Human Home Totem sconce 

Los Angeles design studio Human Home produces architectural lighting fixtures that blend traditional techniques with newer technologies. The wired plug-in Totem sconce combines finished steel and engineered polymer with repeating curves and sleek details to bring a warm, sculptural ambiance to any room.

Sharktooth Transitional Diné Navajo textile 

When I interviewed the founders of Brooklyn antique and vintage textile shop Sharktooth for a story on blankets and rugs as art, the duo mentioned Navajo rugs are perfect for hanging in your home. "Anything with a framed border also looks great," says Lorenza Lattanzi. Sure enough, this early 1900s Navajo textile with minimalist colors and subtle framing feels practically meant for a wall.

Boy Smells Cowboy Kush room spray 

Instagram-favorite fragrance company Boy Smells recently released its best-selling Kush collection in the form of room sprays. Cowboy Kush feels perfect for spring and summer, an earthy blend of leather and spiced patchouli with just a pinch of verdant pot leaf. (Italian Kush runs a touch more floral if that is more your speed.) Fear not: the collection’s name just denotes the scent, there are zero cannabis-related ingredients like CBD and THC included.

Erik Jørgensen Model EJ 141 stools 

Danish design team Anne-Mette Jensen and Morten Ernst met as students at the Royal Danish Academy’s School of Architecture in the 1990s, where they won furniture company Erik Jørgensen’s talent competition with their Waves daybed. Since then, Jensen and Ernst have become a sought-after creative duo, and this vintage stool—chrome-plated steel base and moody brown leather seat—is in fantastic condition, a worthy addition for any lover of Danish design.
