Collected by Jason Koharik


I recently stumbled upon a blog by the furniture store Lawson-Fenning and found beautiful lamps designed by artist Jason Koharik. Jason is a Los Angeles based artist who is an interior designer, electrician, contractor, carpenter, craftsman, and a collector.


“The Collected by lamp series is inspired by the beautiful sweeping lines and modeled forms of the Art Nouveau period and early French Modernists. The series represents a “New Nouveau”. Each lamp is a one of a kind sculpture made with a variety of reclaimed and recycled materials that show age and marks from its maker. Each is hand crafted and hammered in effort to create a unique and nostalgic piece that can settle comfortably in a modern environment. ”

I’ve always been attracted to these style of lamps including Serge Mouille,  Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand because those classic designs still feel modern and timeless all at once.

Small additions


After almost two months of waiting, the patchy rug that I ordered last year has finally came. It felt really long because it was cold going through the Holiday season and New years  without a rug. I can now enjoy my living room more where it feels much cozier. The rug actually came out more beige than I thought, because in the catalog it looked grey. Nevertheless, I’m happy with this result.


The mid century canoe / boomerang shaped dish is also a newer addition in this room. I love these classic California potteries.


Jonathan Adler’s horse tray used to be located at the entrance but now is re-arranged to my coffee table. My cats definitely love the new rug, because they smelt like rug for 3 days since the day it came.
