For the 2010 season, West Elm have curated an original holiday collection that oozes sophistication thanks to it's modern-meets-traditional feel. The collection is the result of a collaboration with David Stark (this guy is such an inspiration to me) and includes garlands, mirrored baubles and paper trees. What strikes me first off is how inventive it is: circle garlands and paper flowers are used to wrap presents as well as adorn walls, whilst small leaves made from old books are used to decorate trees and as napkin ties. For me, West Elm have created a timeless, classy and comforting collection of decor that can be used year-on-year. Now all I need to do is find a way to convince them to open a store on this side of the pond!
