JAMES PERSE / LIMITED EDITION PING PONG TABLE
At least once a year, James Perse Los Angeles - the California-cool clothing and furniture label - blows us away with a limited edition item. In years past, these have included surf boards, beach cruiser bikes, and dog beds, all designed in the company’s trademark minimalist approach with incredible attention to detail.
James Perse’s latest limited edition release is a ping pong table. This is no ordinary ping pong table - it’s a piece of art. It’s hand-crafted from environmentally farmed solid teak. It’s also pretty functional. When the net (which is leather bound, by the way) is removed, the table transforms into a sleek dining or conference table. Here’s a closer look.

PHASE DESIGN / CINI CHANDELIER
Self-taught designer Reza Feiz founded Phase Design more than a decade ago. Feiz takes inspiration from mid-century master architects like Pierre Koenig, Richard Neutra and John Lautner, creating simple and minimal designs that have an enduring contemporary quality.
Our favorite from Phase Design is the Cini Chandelier. It’s named after the porcini mushroom, which serves as the inspiration for the chandelier’s shape. Its sculptural, geometric structure creates dramatic shadows when it’s in use. Here’s a closer look.
The Cini Chandelier is accompanied by a matching floor lamp.
