Design Dispatch: The Console Table

Don’t you just love something that can be practical and beautiful? The console table is another one of those hard-working essentials that can go just about anywhere. Make a statement in a foyer, tuck one behind a sofa for dramatic elevation, or use a console table in a mud room as a chic place to park your keys, glasses & cell phone. We even love console tables outdoors, helping create dimension in those outdoor rooms we adore.

Of course, On Madison thinks you can’t have just any console table. We present to you an array of stylish choices that will have you finding excuses to put one everywhere.

Summer Style

We’ve had unseasonably cool weather in Los Angeles lately, but fortunately we know it won’t last long. It’s May and that means Memorial Day is upon us and summer is not far behind. I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait to hang by my pool, cocktail in hand, and while away the weekend. Creating a chic and stylish outside oasis does take a bit of imagination though. Turn your patio into a glamorous Moroccan casbah, Palm Springs mod fantasy, or Hamptons hideaway. A vacation in your own backyard!

Whatever your outdoor vibe is, On Madison has assembled a list of outdoor glam goodies that will have you getting your cocktail shaker out. A few of our recommendations? We dig the furniture from Link Design‘s Echo collection and the vintage designs of Walter Lamb, as well as the totally luxe patio pieces via Janus et Cie. If you’re into a big of Palm Springs chic, the Luna collection by Michael Berman designed for Brown Jordan is also lovely for a vintage Hollywood Regency vibe.

If you’re going to have furniture, you’ll need all the essentials to pair along. For fabric we love the design and durability of Perennials, the best quality luxury performance textiles for outdoor use. For lighting we love Linda Allen’s unique Live Anywhere collection. Cordless, waterproof, specifically designed portable lighting for outdoor use: it’s sheer genius.

See our collage below for all of the items mentioned above, and visit our Pinterest page to brainstorm ways to update your patio and beyond! Summer Style

Downtown Modern: Los Angeles

IMG_2172

Something very groovy is happening in Downtown Los Angeles. Momentum has been building over the last decade and it’s suddenly become very hip to live, work and play downtown. The Arts District has become synonymous with cool new cafes, bars, shopping, and of course, art galleries. The Frank Gehry designed Disney Concert Hall was an announcement that L.A.’s architecture is world class.

The latest reason to visit downtown is The Broad, a museum devoted to contemporary art which opened late last year. The Broad is the most recent edition in the attempt to revitalize downtown L.A.’s sleepy Grand Avenue. And it does just that. The building itself is striking with its white honeycomb-like exterior. Inside, the building’s sleek design is the perfect foil for The Broad’s incredible collection of modern masterpieces.

On Madison presents our slideshow of favorites among The Broad’s permanent collection.

Naturally, all that fabulousness worked up an appetite so we made sure to stop at the new and highly acclaimed Otium Restaurant located right next door to The Broad. Great food with a casual, sophisticated design focus. Grab your significant other and make a downtown date ASAP.
