Price Range: ($) Budget to ($$$) High-End

It's hard to classify Judy Maxwell Home. It's kind of a gift shop but it's also a house of curiosities. It's an art gallery where you can also pick up a lifesize talking Power Ranger. Oh, and you might run into owner Joan Cusack, too. More

While classic pieces are considered classic for a reason, sometimes the styles we love can be so ubiquitous that we yearn for something new. Designer Jason Koharik pays hommage to the clean lines and geometric silhouette of the modern and deco pieces that are so well loved, in the form of his new collection, aptly titled, The Collected.

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.

Inanimate objects that appear human-like have an immediate attraction. (Kind of like animals in clothes.) The Duii lamp seems human in a robotic kind of way, as if it walked off a Pixar film set.
