Retail Odyssey: David Bromstad Home

medina laser cut pillow in magenta/pumpkin

Known King of Color, David Bromstad has a home collection at Grandin Road, inspired by the vibrance of his native Miami. Loads of shag, shine and color color color! Despite my own love of color, I'm not particularly flashy. That said, some of these pieces are pretty fabulous. Perhaps I can set up a corner with my four mirrorballs to listen to Donna Summer in the wee hours, with the lights down low...

miami flair: the glamorous pink, orange & gold pillow collection

utterly unexpected: hot pink and orange houndstooth stool

bright, symmetrical lumbar pillow in hot pink and orange

Among my favorites is this eye-popping painting of a blooming lotus flower. It's just like all those wonderful paintings David did for his homeowners on his "Color Splash" tv series. This would go nicely in my bathroom, up above the vanity lights and medicine cabinet.

the perfect image to wake up to: david's "lotus" artwork

amazing modern woven design on the kashmir laser cut pillow

love the long carved legs on this tufted bench... named "lola"

not a fan of bar carts, but this trolley is pretty interesting

And what list would be complete with something with a Moroccan Key shape on it? 

more gorgeous david bromstad originals: "moorish i - iii"

These were just some of my favorites. The full collection is much more extensive. By all means check it out. (And, if you absolutely must have metallic seating... make it the bronze.)
