Fabulous Fall Style at Masins

September 15, 2011

Fall is upon us!  When autumn hits the great Northwest, residents head indoors and cozy up with comfortable furnishings and seasonally-inspired accents.  Looking to add a bit of Fall fashion to your abode?  Start with a few autumn-appropriate basics.  For example, the warm oak glow of Stickley’s Mission Oak collection remains a popular perennial favorite. Hancock & Moore’s luxurious leather upholstered pieces are also an excellent Fall find. Woven materials (wicker, rattan, and textural fabrics) impart a natural, harvest-feel. And check out chic, casual classics from Baker’s Milling Road collection.  Next add autumnal accessories to complete the look: a large glass jar filled with gourds or pinecones, a plush cashmere throw, scented candles, and a spray of twigs arranged in a woven seagrass bowl. Voila! Seasonal style that’s cozy and comfortably chic.

Tribute to a Nation: Colonial & Traditional American Style for the Fourth of July

June 30, 2011

What defines American style?  For many, traditional furnishings epitomize a classic, elegant look that celebrates the nation’s past.  From simple Colonial-inspired primitives to the sculptural beauty of Philadelphia Chippendale and the stately profiles of New York classicism, a wide variety of design styles capture the spirit of America’s storied past.  Richly figured mahogany, handsome accents, and classic silhouettes – all speak of enduring American quality, craftsmanship and style.  In honor of Independence Day, we’re paying homage to our great nation with a selection of pieces that will inspire you to celebrate great American design.  For further inspiration, be sure to check out a few of our favorite American traditional collections: Stickley’s Colonial Williamsburg, Baker’s Historic Charleston, Hickory Chair’s James River, and Henkel Harris’ Virginia Galleries.

The Everard House Settee from Stickley's Colonial Williamsburg collection.

The Fairfax Corner Cabinet from Henkel-Harris is based on a colonial Virginia form.

The Arm Chair from Baker's Historic Charleston collection is a beautiful variation on Philadelpia Chippendale.

This Federal Side Table from Hickory Chair's James River collection is a handsome interpretation of classic New England style.

Summer stylesheet: Nautical and Coastal-Inspired Design

June 23, 2011
When summer arrives in the great Northwest, bringing warm sunny days mixed with cool Pacific breezes, local residents are drawn to the wondrous waters that surround the region.  From spectacular sparkling lakes to breathtaking beaches - it’s time to hit the waves and play.  It’s no wonder, then, that nautical-inspired design is a perennial favorite.  Nautical furnishings and accessories can take inspiration from a wide variety of sources: the traditional feel of a coastal yacht club, a cozy lakeside cabin, the exotic touches of the south seas.  Fabrics can make a statement: whether a  true marine-theme print, nautical stripes, or the simple elegance of a beachy, woven linen.  Natural textures add depth and an easy, summery elegance: from woven materials like rattan, seagrass to slate, stone and glass.  We’ve rounded up a few key pieces that will lend a spohisticated nautical touch to any home.  Here’s to summer in the Pacific Northwest!

Dedon’s designs are unmistakably artistic and fashion-forward.  The Nestrest, a signature piece designed by the innovative Parisian duo of Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety, is one of the company’s most popular pieces.  This unique, sculptural hanging woven “pod” was recently installed by Masins as part of a hospitality design project at Hotel Wydown, an elegant new boutique hotel in Napa Valley, California.  This particular piece, was, in fact, the first Dedon Nestrest delivered in the US.
