We love Jonathan Adler's "quirky modernist" style. He's the celebrity designer from Bravo's Top Design, and he recently created the look for the fabulous Parker Palm Springs resort (check out his Parker Collection for lighting inspired by the hotel!).
Speaking of Adler, his Meurice Chandelier has been popping up everywhere! See this recent blog (and this one) about retro design on TV, shows like AMC's Mad Men and CBS's Swingtown. Looks like Adler, with his Meurice Collection, has his finger on the pulse!
