Since Valentine’s day is approaching, let’s talk about Italian jewelry. When I first saw these earrings made by Italian designer Viola Foggi, I was impressed by their originality and by the use of different materials. What makes them unique is the black thread that creates an interesting contrast against the golden background. Viola Foggi has her own workshop in Florence where she designs and creates jewelry in gold and silver, with precious and semi-precious stones. Her creations can be purchased in many Italian stores and online.

Ok, I give you some hints: 1. It’s something Seattleites use a lot. 2. It’s made to hold something that 80% of people later forget. 3. It’s usually placed by the door. I’m sure you got it by now. Yes, it’s an umbrella holder. Designed by Riccardo Paolino and Matteo Fusi for Italian design firm Progetti, Zolla is available for €209 in either green or black and white.

I’ve always admired designers who are able to take an old concept and transform it into something completely new and modern. Italian firm Diamantini e Domeniconi has done exactly this: they have redesigned the old cuckoo clock in a fun, creative, colorful and minimal way. I couldn’t resist: I’ve got the orange happy bird, now merrily hanging on my bedroom wall.
