Spectrum Ltd. Portofino Table: “Who could have
predicted acrylic furniture would become such an enor- mous force again on our rarified luxury market, but this time as a classic?” Pearlman asks. The best choices, ac- cording to Pearlman, feature simplicity with some heft to successfully pair with modern or traditional pieces. The Portofino Table by Spectrum Ltd. is such a piece. The height of the table base is 28 inches and it features an 18-inch sphere. Recommended glass sizes for the tabletop range from 54 to 96 inches. “The past few years I’ve found a renewed interest
for acrylic furniture,” remarks Robert Pope of Robert Pope Associates, Inc. in Chicago. Declaring Spectrum is a “great line,” Pope comments on their tremendous amount of designs and top-notch quality.
Ruth Livingston Studio Branch Mirror: Award-
winning designer Ruth Livingston “takes nature in de- sign to a new level,” voices Pearlman. “The wide spec- trum of soft muted finishes work with almost any color scheme,” she comments. “The finished look is ethereal — it’s an illusion of raw minerals applied to the frame topped with a hint of very fine metallic dust.” “The Branch Mirror is a stunning piece because of its
raised organic design and richly applied finish,” opines Amy Rosengarten, partner/principal of Inez Saunders/ Amy Rosengarten Interior Design Inc. in Chicago. She adds, “It translates beautifully into both traditional and transitional spaces.”
