Recently, I have been deeply captivated by the magic of the Olympics. Witnessing athletes from around the globe come together, not only to compete but to celebrate each other's remarkable dedication and achievements, is truly inspiring. This grand event embodies a spirit of unity that transcends borders, showcasing a beautiful blend of national pride and global camaraderie.
The vibrant Olympic spirit evokes images of patriotic stripes, reminiscent of one of my all-time favorite spaces: the tented room at Charlottenhof Palace. To capture the essence of this season and the Olympic excitement, I have chosen a blue and white striped theme for this month. Stripes are not only an MDS classic, but I feel they also reflect the vibrant energy of the season and the magic of the Games. As summer draws to a close, we are quickly approaching the launch of our eagerly awaited FOREVER BEAUTIFUL book. Don't miss your chance to pre-order a signed copy and secure an exclusive invitation to our virtual book launch using this link here. We hope you will be able to join us for the premiere of the FOREVER BEAUTIFUL documentary and celebrate this occasion with us. Make it Beautiful, |
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
MDS RATTAN
In collaboration with Soane Britain, our Lily Collection was created to bring rattan back indoors! The pieces include an armchair whose eye-catching base brings to mind a rippled fabric, a drum table, and a slipper chair in the manner of American style icon Billy Baldwin. Plus, the floral fabrics are blooming with beauty.
MDS FOR SCHUMACHER
Departing from convention, we set out to design fabrics that defy stereotypes, focusing on grounding solids, rich textures, small scale prints, and a timeless color palette that forms the cornerstone of every project. Additionally, we wanted to create wallpaper panels that effortlessly work back to our existing fabrics with Schumacher.
FOREVER BEAUTIFUL
In Forever Beautiful, Mark D. Sikes celebrates a full year of beautiful interiors inspired by nature. Forever Beautiful showcases twelve homes — one for every month of the year — influenced by the seasons. Featuring all-new light-filled photography by Amy Neunsinger, Forever Beautiful reminds new and returning readers alike of the power of making it beautiful.
