Furniture by Color: Purple
Because of its vibrancy, purple can be a difficult color to work into an everyday space. But whether, woven into a throw or set upon a side table, it can be a regal accent, adding richness and texture.
Designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell, the La Marie plastic chair is a regal accent in any room. Its barely there hue recommends it to strict minimalists and to those favoring more decadent design.
Two overlapping pieces of mouth-blown glass form the Loistava Candle Holder by Harri Koskinen for Marimekko. Available in the Dwell store, the Loistava candle holder exudes softly colored light.
Available in the Dwell store, Avoca Mill's handwoven wool and mohair Ombre Throw for Avoca draws its shade from the purple tones of Irish heather.
Enameled cast iron with a stainless steel handle, the Aubergine Round Teapot is pictured above in an eggplant hue. Made by Staub in France, the teapot is a durable design classic, seamlessly making the move from stove to table.
Portland, Oregon's Esque studio uses recycled glass to make these whimsical water drop–shaped jugs. We appreciate their committment to green design as it extends even further by the forms being processed in an electric furnace powered by wind energy.
With its unique shape and color, Benjamin Hubert's Spinning BH2 Pendant Light for & Tradition available in the Dwell store is head-turning. The whimsical curves of the lacquered aluminum and silicone lamp are bound to add levity to any room's palette.
Kid O's purple Floating Duck Bath Toy brings a pop of color to the bathroom; its streamlined silhouette recommends it to aesthetes of all ages.
