7 Festive Home Accessories That Aren't Cheesy
December 15, 2015 | Home & Real Estate
Red, green, and gold aren't just for Christmas. Rising design star Samuel Amoia demonstrates how this trio can put the magic into the magic city.
CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT:
The Pedro Pedestal table with lacquered glass top and metal base is “a beautiful, bold color with geometric design that would look perfect next to any sofa.” Roche Bobois ($1,125). 450 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables, 305-444-1017
Fiere cushion by Jean Paul Gaultier, which features a suedelike fabric and Eiffel Tower design, is “very graphic with a nice abstract quality that is subtle and interesting, not trite.” Roche Bobois ($225). 450 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables, 305-444-1017
Jylia dining chair with red leather on the seatback and armrests is “very cool and very sculptural and could be a focal piece.” Armani/Casa ($14,550). Miami Design District, 10 NE 39th St., 305-573- 4331
One of Amoia’s favorites is the 25-inch diameter Eros metal bowl that “would be excellent on a tabletop; the sculptural shape can be used with traditional or modern design during or after the holidays.” NIBA Home ($3,975). Miami Design District, 39 NE 39th St., 305-573-1939
Lady B. Armchair with wool upholstery has “a cool sculptural element” and looks comfortable as well. Roche Bobois ($2,070). 450 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables, 305-444-1017
An emerald tortoise square tray made of wood with a lacquer finish has a “nice under-designed, clean-lined feel that would look good on a table or counter and would be a fashionable way to store keys or to get rid of clutter quickly when company comes.” Oscar de la Renta Home ($595)
The Tourbillons crystal vase has “a beautiful jewel tone and quality that would look sculptural and stunning in the light.” Lalique ($6,950). Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-537-5150
“These colors are nice to use even without a holiday theme,” says Samuel Amoia, a rising interior designer with a bevy of star projects on his plate, including the Indochine restaurant on Miami Beach, two large waterfront homes in Palm Beach and Golden Beach, and the new DeLorenzo Gallery on New York’s Madison Avenue, as well as a Japanese teahouse in Sydney, Australia. “Metallics can blend with natural fabrics and materials. I like using green and anything red is striking and strong.” Although Amoia typically uses faded colors, he likes to make the design pop with strong hues in accessories. For the holidays, he suggests creating a tablescape with two green vases and gold bowls in varying sizes filled with red flowers. Amoia, who has worked with hotelier Ian Schrager and interior designer Stephen Sills, has teamed with his brother, sculptor Dominic Amoia, to create limited edition sculptural furniture and lighting of malachite, amethyst, and hand-dyed plasters for his new Amoia Studio brand.
