decoupage paperweight, $65
superdeluxe nyc
What is my obsession with cool office supplies? I don't even HAVE an office... and I might be the least "organized" person on the planet... crazy, I know.
I discovered Superdeluxe NYC several years ago and FELL in LOVE with their nifty decoupage creations... like these fabulous desk accessories. My obsession is not my need for office supplies, but the founders' artistic background. Superdeluxe NYC is the creation of two printmakers (yay!) -- Adrienne Wong, who has a background in letterpress and graphic design, and Karen Spraggs, known for her silkscreen works. Together they are ridding the world or boring and bland paperweights, note cards, and pillows.
The designs are simple and fresh... peacock feathers, golden zebra stripes, and greco-roman goddesses... a surprising twist for decoupage, which is too often associated with images of rosy cherubs on gaudy gold-leafed plates. The monogram collection (above) is brilliant, and perfect for people who love themselves. I am quite fond of the "M" pattern because it resembles a star and is my favorite color, fushia... too bad it's not my initial.
Apparently I am just one of many who loves these girls... their creations were just picked up by Barneys New York!
