CALEB SIEMON GLASS





Artist Caleb Siemon who works closely with his wife Carmen Salazar at their Italian style studio in Santa Ana California, consistently produces unique and enduring glass vessels and lighting. Caleb's signature aesthetic is a combination of his training in Murano, Italy and his affection for the restraint of Scandinavian glass traditions. Provide has just received pieces from his white/ivory lattimo, bubbles and white chaos wrap netted collections. We love his work and think it works beautiful mixed among our other collections and of course in most contemporary homes.

A HOLIDAY DECOR INSTALLATION?




While I was doing some research for a design project that I am working on, I came across this beautiful sculptural piece that hangs off of a shopping mall garage in Los Angeles. Named "Cradle", this incredible installation is the work of Ball-Nogues Studio a creative enterprise that crosses boundaries between industrial design, architecture and public art.

I am totally inspired for next years holiday decor at Provide. Major installation!
