THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF DAFF FELT BOXES


































Provide has just received a new shipment of DAFF Felt from Germany. Multi-functional and beautiful at the same time, these boxes are made from the highest quality merino wool felt. For the fall season at Provide, we have introduced two new colours: eggplant and midnight available in the boxes in various sizes. In addition, we are also stocking square and round coasters in these two colours.

Also pictured are two hugely popular colours from DAFF: berry (top) and charcoal melanage (bottom) that continue to sell out in the boxes, coasters, placemats and bags. Also, look for the fun i-Phone and i-Pad covers that keep your devices safe from harm and make amazing gifts!

DAVID BURNS "MODELS ON A RUNWAY" PAINTINGS COME TO LIFE














































Artist David Burns's work, on view at Provide, has had an incredible reception from everyone walking through our doors. Above are some rather steamy shots taken by photographer Chris Haylett utilizing David's "Models on a runway" series in an interesting juxtaposition of "real" life and a painted image. The shots where part of an editorial titled "Heat Wave" in Zink Magazine. Model Kate Bock of Lizbell Agency looks absolutely stunning next to David's beautiful and dramatic paintings. Provide has some new "Models" on view, so visit us at the store or on our website to have look.

ARTISTIC CREATIONS FROM ESKAYEL









































Eskayel is the creation of Brooklyn based artist and designer Shanan Campanaro who digitally manipulates her own paintings to create innovative and unique textiles and wallpapers. For her recently released Era collection, the designs were born from Shanan's memories of travelling in Italy: the stone work, the olive groves, the dramatic cliffs on the coast. This inspiration results in fantastically patterned bespoke textiles and wallpapers all with the artists's painterly touch.

Eskayel has gained much attention in the press including Interior Design Magazine, The New York Times and Lonny. Provide will be showcasing the pillows (which have to be seen in person - they are beautiful!) and will have a sample book for the wallpaper on hand for special orders.
