Tex-TURE! Tex-TURE!

 There is no element to furniture, clothing or accessories that gives a piece more dynamic then texture. In my opinion, texture is oftentimes the difference between chic and geek. It’s a fine (haha! Pun!) line. Take this Jonathan Adler ceramic box for example:



Studs, glorious studs! Without them, this would be just another overpriced ceramic box that doesn’t actually say anything about the owner or the home, and even less about the designer. But with this added layer of texture, it becomes a fixture of style, an item that speaks volumes about a space’s personality and adds to the ethos of the environment.

Be it a printed leather bag, a cowhide rug, or a painting’s heavy impasto, I am and will always be a pioneer for touchable surfaces. So much that I would even start chanting about it (hence the title of this post).

What’s your favorite textural surface and por que?
