The Russell Bed by Joe Ruggiero for Miles Talbott

This fully upholstered bed designed by Joe Ruggiero for Miles Talbott is yet another gem from his recent collection. The bed is both visually appealing as well as a welcome place to sleep off a hard days work. The headboard is available in leather or fabric, tufted or non tufted back and with or without nail heads. I like my bed designs to feature original, innovative design but also not go over the top in terms of flamboyance or extravagance. Above all other pieces, a bed should focus first on comfort and second on aesthetics. I believe this piece has the best of both worlds and offers designers a solid choice for a modern bedroom.

The Westfield Collection from Joe Ruggiero for Miles Talbott

I must admit that I am a poor choice to judge wicker furniture. I grew up surrounded by great wicker designs and I have come to associate it with good times and happiness. I love the stuff and I usually am quite taken with any kind of wicker design, thus making me a poor choice to give an honest opinion. There is something about the natural feel and style of wicker furniture that makes me feel very comfortable and safe.
Having said all of that, I am most dazzled by the recent designs from Joe Ruggiero for Miles Talbott. The furniture is exquisite in its creativity and class, emanating a sense of refined style while retaining the quaint modesty of wicker. Wicker designs are difficult to do on such a large scale, but Ruggiero has created an engaging and attractive collection worth checking out. The pieces are symmetrical and comfortable and would fit nicely on a large patio or deck.

The Perfect Pair

I officially have a new favorite couple. Brad and Angelina are so yesterday – I'm all about Arthur and Pauline, two stunning new chairs from the Joe Ruggiero Collection by Miles Talbott. Separately, each chair exudes luxury and style.
Arthur (above), a cap arm lounge chair inspired by men's club chairs of London, is available in leather or fabric with or without nail-head trim.
Pauline offers the timeless sophistication of a barrel wing chair and is available in leather or fabric, with or without nail-head trim.
Paired together or featured separately these chairs will undoubtedly become the center of attention, attracting legions of fans, in any room they are in. The Gable Cocktail Ottoman (shown above) proves to be a perfect companion to the new "it" couple with its generous size and functionality. It is also available in fabric or leather, with or without nail-head trim.
