A CHANDELIER YOU ASK? WHERE ARE THE CRYSTALS? Chandeliers aren't what one normally thinks of when considering lighting for a modern home. Usually the calling card of palacial estates or ornately decorated mansions, the chandelier had received a modern upgrade with Palluco's brass "Glow" Chandelier, designed by Enrico Fanzoline and Vincente Garcia Jimenez. With an encased light surrounded by brass casing reminiscent of origami, the "Glow" Chandelier appears to be suspended within a circle of light. Available in red, white, black and burnished brass, this unique design is also available in a floor model.

APOLOGIES FOR THE ERRATIC POSTING SCHEDULE as of late but I have been very busing preparing the launch of theMDRN. theMDRN is a user-driven online community dedicated to discovering the best stories on interior decorating, home decor and modern furniture, gathered by people just like you. Vote for your favorite stories, or become a member and submit stories yourself.
For those of you familiar with Digg.com, it's very similar, but with a focus on interior design and home decor.
It is currently being launched in Beta because it still needs a little bit of work but I thought I'd announce it to PadStyle readers. I'd very much appreciate if you would help by providing some feedback.
To make it easier for you to add articles to theMDRN, I've created an easy bookmarklet. Simply right-click and save the following link as a bookmark/favorite in your browser (or drag it to your toolbar if you have FireFox) whenever you find a notable design story on another website or blog: Add to theMDRN

WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT ANDRE AGASSI and Steffi Graf's first creation would have been a wire-frame lounge chair that seems to float on air. Teamed with renowned modern furniture designer Mike Kreiss, Agassi and Graf's creation is part of a 16-piece custom collection created for their Las Vegas home. A combination of Graf's preference for "streamlined design" and Agassi's inclination towards subtle elegance, the AGK Mercury Lounge Chair is made of weather resistant powder-coated steel wire hand-wrapped in dark brown synthetic rattan. (I personally would have bet that the first creation of these two tennis icons would have had a better backhand, but this will have to do for now.)
