Our Favorite Stars

Sometimes a post comes along and it surpasses eye candy - it just tickles our soul in delight. In one, deft sweep our friend David Patrick Columbia managed to create one of the best glimpses of a home we've seen (sorry, Elle Decor, sometimes even you get trumped) and then, to top it all off, it features all our favorite people and life pursuits - designer Antony Todd! Gallery owner Gerald Bland! Dogs! Books! And of course, Suffolk Designer Lighting featured designer Eric Cohler. We may faint. We just have to feature a few favorite pictures, but for the entire treat check out Mr. Columbia's post here.

Okay, so that's not Eric Cohler. This is:

Men who love dogs - perhaps more than people, we're not sure - light up our lives. At SDL we believe that light can be sourced most powerfully from the heart.

The baroque styled console table immediately caught our eye, and then hardly surprising - it comes from Gerald Bland's eponymous gallery on 91st and Madison. If you haven't visited this Carnegie Hill gem, you are truly missing out on one of the most sublime design experiences to be had in New York City. NYSD never misses a thing, so obviously Gerald has an equally impressive write-up, too - take a peep here.

Indeed, Gerald has a dog, too. Tosca is incredibly adorable.

Here she is again with Gerald's eldest son, Sebastian.

And while we could go on and on - the beautiful pillows, the sumptuous fabrics, the killer, KILLER art, we'll end with the slickest coffee table we've seen in awhile. . . from Antony Todd.

The table is shiny and white and a perfect canvas for anything you want displayed, and Antony Todd is well, dreamy and hot. . . read more about Anthony and his impressive work on his website.

We're not sure what his dog situation is as whenever we bump into him he's usually out and about in a tux channeling Cary Grant, but a little mystery is nice. . . like a perfect dimmer switch.

Thanks to the boys we love for lighting up our world and making us smile - and thank you to little shitzu Harold Moscowitz for visiting Suffolk Designer Lighting - he arrived in style with KiptonArt's Kipton Cronkite and real estate barron A. Laurance Kaiser IV of Key Ventures to discuss a few future collaborations.

And, of course, to make a small purchase from Mr. Kreitsek.

The fixture is fitting for Mr. Moscowitz on so many levels. He's a lot like the author of New York Social Diary that way. . . they're both stars who dig shitzus. Come visit us in Southampton and check out Eric Cohler's pieces. You'll have fun, we promise.
