Wonderful article and pictures of the chic Park Ave-
nue apartment designed by its owner (“In the Clear,”
December). Susan Chalom has an amazing eye: Her
place is minimal, yet warm. And her simplicity is clas-
sic. What an inspiration! Thank you for including a
feature for nonprofessionals such as myself.

Spelling It Out
The photographs of the American ambassador’s
residence in Helsinki (“Northern Exposure,” Decem-
ber) look great, but the distinguished architect you
refer to is Harrie T. Lindeberg, not Harry T. Lindberg,
as you had it. A copy of Domestic Architecture of
H.T. Lindeberg sits above my desk and has inspired
my work. As a librarian’s child, I cannot help but
comb texts with an editor’s eye.

Village Vamp
Your feature on Candace Bushnell’s Greenwich Vil-
lage apartment in the September issue (“Love at
First Sight”) was gorgeous. Her space exudes a sexy
and feminine character that I’d love to bottle and
bring to my apartment in Philadelphia.
Tracy Mack, Philadelphia, PA
The Gift of Giving

I was extremely touched by your Editor’s Page in
November. I am the head of the President’s Club
of Vista Del Mar, a 98-year-old orphanage in Los
Angeles, and grew up in a truly charitable family that
taught me what you give comes back in so many
ways. I respect you for a fabulous magazine.

Fine Type
I want to express my deep admiration for
ELLE DECOR
,
my favorite design publication. You have such great
style! You consistently present top-quality articles
on decorating, furnishings, and architecture, and
the stories are always well written and photographed.
I very much like the genuine care and depth of feel-
ing you show for the people featured, be it the de-
signer or a client, and their homes. The blend of the
personal and professional is present, too, on the
Editor’s Page. It is exemplary and rare, and one more
reason why I keep reading your magazine. There
is much more to praise, but I’ll conclude by thank-
ing you for your integrity. It is very much needed,
and welcome, these days.
Michael Feeley, via e-mail
Greetings from Greece
I cherish the interiors you feature on your pages. I
would even call you a long-distance university of
good taste. Congratulations on a wonderful job.
Papasifakis Panagiotis, Athens, Greece

Holiday Blues
How sad that references in your magazine to the
holiday season have been reduced to one article
about shopping (“Frozen Assets,” December). Gone
are the days when shelter magazines celebrated
with beautiful spreads depicting families gathered
in celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas. The hol-
idays have now been reduced to a few material trin-
kets that may be purchased to celebrate what?
The article doesn’t even say. I assume that you have
made a decision that it is politically incorrect to
write about such things.
Lisa Montague, via e-mail
Not at all. Until very recently,
ELLE DECOR
has been
published eight times a year, with a December/Jan-
uary issue, and few things are sadder than a Christ-
mas tree cover in January. Our increase in frequency
to ten issues allows for a separate December pub-
lication; look for a more festive celebration of the
holiday season next year.

1 Back Splash
Don’t put this chaise longue against the
wall; it’s a standout. Designed by Richard
Frinier for Century Furniture, it evokes
shoji screens, raku pottery, and Frank
Lloyd Wright designs. Part of the 12-piece
Kyoto Leisure collection, it has a cast-
aluminum frame with an aged finish;
measures 32" wide, 75" deep, and 34.5" high;
and costs $3,200 as shown. Call 800-852-
5552; centuryfurniture.com.
2 Light Work
Not since Jean Cocteau designed the ones
for his classic film La Belle et la Bête has
a sconce possessed such poetic flair. The

gold-plated, cast-bronze Appliqué Iris by
Objet Insolite resembles stylized plant
stalks, and measures 18.5" tall and 16.75"
wide. It costs $832 at Distant Origin. Call
212-941-0024; distantorigin.com.
3 On a Roll
The Angel table by Mary Forssberg up-
dates Deco and puts it on wheels. Sheathed

shagreen, the diminutive table will elegantly
work in any room. Available at a height
of either 24" or 27", it has a 13" diameter,
comes in 15 colors, and sells for $4,100.

4 Pattern Play
Famed fabric house Boussac has found in-
genious new ways to spread its patterns
around, including laminating some onto
lightweight plastic trays. Here, it’s Paloma,
designed by Jacques Grange in tribute to
Picasso and his daughter. The company’s
new home-accessories collection also
includes curtains, cushions, and serving
pieces in a variety of patterns and color-
ways. The tray is available in red and white
versions as well, and comes in two sizes,
15.75" by 20.5" for $130 and 10" by 15" for $95.
For store locations, call 212-213-3099.

1 Lighter Brighter
Blu Dot, the Minneapolis-based furniture
firebrand, makes goods that have an im-
mediate impact but also work hard. The
plywood-topped metal Strut table is typi-
cal—it’s as lean as a line drawing, but
has the tensile grace of a kite in flight.
Powder-coated in glossy red, the table
measures 90" long, 29" high, and 34.5"

wide, and costs $1,199. (A slightly smaller
size is also available.) Go to bludot.com.
2 Mirror Illusion
What might appear to be the curvy
wrought-iron frame on a simple mirror
turns out to be loops that are hand-carved
out of mahogany. Designed by Anne-Marie
Midy for Casa Midy, the Loop mirror is 36"
high by 28" wide and sells for $1,610 at
Room. Call 212-226-1042; roomonline.com.
3 To Dye For
Rug and textile designer Madeline Weinrib
has always had a passion for old weav-
ings. Now she’s investigating the possibil-
ities of the ancient process of dyeing
yarns before weaving them, called ikat.
She has merged the traditional technique
with a sophisticated modern palette
in her new line of pillows, handwoven in
Uzbekistan. Each 12"-square cushion
costs $400 at ABC Carpet & Home. Call
212-674-1144; madelineweinrib.com.
4 Bubble Up
Transparency brings more to light, so why
not a lamp made entirely of clear glass,
including the shade? The Conran Shop
offers handblown lamps with one, two, or
three bubbles. The two-bubble version, far
left, is 20.5" tall and costs $525; the one-
bubble version stands 27.5" tall and is $325.

Call 866-755-9079; conran.com.
