IGLOO - Fontana Arte www.softsquare.com Igloo represents the great innovation in hanging spotlights. It is in fact a modular, self-supporting lighting system that, thanks to a series of electromechanical connections with curves and spacers, allows for consecutive linking of up to two hundred units without the need for any additional power cable. This gives the lighting designer the possibility of creating open, flexible compositions. The double shell in self-extinguishing plastic technopolymer allows for easy installation of the units, whether vertically or horizontally and in either case allows for the designer to choose uplighting or downlighting during installation. The system consists of linear and curve conjunctions, spacers, mechanical hanging and of wiring elements. Igloo therefore ensures versatile, infinitely replicable modularity. The system uses LEDs as the light source and is suitable for contract installation in the retail, hospitality, office and business sectors, where compositions can be as complex or as simple as required or in homes, with a more decorative effect. Versatility is the key to this product as it makes diffused lighting possible in rooms of any size and can meet any lighting requirement. Specific LED dimmers can be used for the Igloo element and relative systems. www.softsquare.com

Modern Traditional Kitchen for a lovely couple in the Bay Area. The Fieldstone and Forte paprika cherry cabinetry invite you into the kitchen and give warmth to the room. The Bainbridge door style used in this design is a beautiful traditional raised panel door with clean lines and details.

This kitchen transformation began with a dream for a light and bright kitchen that functions beautifully in a classic style that will never feel tired or dated. The homeowners never looked back as we tore out the old red linoleum floor and the wall that separated the kitchen from the dining area. A door connecting the kitchen to the bedroom corridor was closed off to maximize the counter and storage space and a new door was added to an adjacent office/guest bedroom to provide easy access to the kitchen. Snow white cabinets, white marble quartz and glossy white ceramic backsplash tile was paired with warm woods and revere pewter walls to create a bright yet inviting space. Deep drawers were chosen for plate and glassware storage. Trash and heavy duty butcher block cutting board rollouts offer convenience. A built in floor to ceiling pantry includes rollout drawers for easy access to dry food storage. An island microwave makes the task of quickly heating food accessible to even the youngest family members. Our favorite details include a gorgeous live edge buffet counter, cozy built-in eating nook with an heirloom dining table and a budget friendly dining nook pendant with a custom diffuser and cord added by a local light lighting shop. The best part about this kitchen transformation was seeing the joy on the family’s faces when it was complete! This kitchen will be cherished for years and years to come!

Evernatural Classic offers the most realistic, all-in-one product on the synthetic grass market today, next only to our Evernatural Premium. This product offers a 96-ounce weight and 1-3/4” height offering a variation to the Evernatural Premium for customers who want a more economical option with slightly less density and shorter blade height. But all the benefits are still the same! The blades are designed to reduce shine, reduce heat, and act as a memory foam so blades return to their original shape after bent by foot traffic. More specifically: Double W Blade (Lime color) is designed to diffuse light, making it look more realistic with less shine. The ability to deflect light also helps keep the turf cooler. In addition, it is great for high traffic as it can withstand high wear and pressure. Double S Blade (Field color) is designed to replicate natural grass in both appearance and function. The Double S has an uneven surface, consisting of seven sublayers. This provides effective insulation and reflection of the sunlight. Diamond Blade (Emerald and Brown colors) is designed to make the grass look more realistic and gives it a soft touch. The Evernatural Classic has all these benefits, all while looking and feeling like real lawn!

A monolithic marble ledge anchors the foreground, its dramatic veining flowing like brushstrokes across a solid slab of stone. A sculptural ceramic vessel with delicate branches softens the weight of the material, introducing an organic counterbalance to the bold surfaces. Beyond, a softly arched opening framed in slim mosaic tile separates the shower from the soaking alcove. The arch itself is enclosed in glass, preserving the visual rhythm of the curved architecture while maintaining an open, light-filled connection between spaces. This transparent division allows the marble-clad shower and sculptural soaking tub to feel unified rather than compartmentalized. Within the alcove, backlit frosted glass panels create the illusion of a window. Artificial botanical silhouettes layered behind the glass diffuse the light and evoke a serene outdoor view, transforming a windowless wall into a luminous focal feature. Matte black fixtures, clean-lined shelving, and restrained detailing maintain a contemporary edge, while the interplay of glass, marble, tile, and light creates depth and movement. This primary bathroom is immersive and architectural, balancing transparency and privacy, structure and softness, in a space designed to feel both dramatic and restorative.

Christy and Matt have traveled the world, picking up a love of Monet’s garden in France and many unique artifacts along the way. They had accumulated an extensive art collection of their own which expanded to include an eclectic array of folk art inherited from Christy’s mom. With an eye on downsizing, the couple realized their living environment had become cluttered. They wanted a more serene feeling in their home…like a modern version of Monet’s Garden. LiLu’s inspiration began with a new color palette, using green as a neutral and adding a mixture of vibrant colors reminiscent of a garden. Sheer drapes in the living room diffuse the natural light, almost as if the sun is being filtered through a canopy of trees. The design team also brought focus to their art collection by designing custom built-ins to display their artwork. The dark wood finish relates to the color of the custom dining table creating a cohesive composition. The clean-lined furniture features soft curves to suggest a more botanical feel. The result has brought dazzling serenity to this condo hidden among the busy streets of downtown Minneapolis. ---- Project designed by Minneapolis interior design studio LiLu Interiors.

Indirect cove lighting along the ceiling perimeter highlights the matte finishes and natural stone textures, emphasizing the room’s geometric, linear design.

This chic guest powder room maximizes a compact footprint with high-impact organic modern design elements. The walls are wrapped in a striking, large-scale botanical or floral print wallpaper in soft tones of blush, cream, and terracotta. Gliding open to reveal the space is a custom vertical-shiplap pocket door featuring crisp matte black hinges and handle hardware. The central focal point is a floating rift-sawn white oak vanity with warm brass pull handles, elevated by hidden under-cabinet LED strip lighting that casts a soft glow across the light oak floors. A thick white quartz countertop holds an undermount rectangular sink paired with a luxury wall-mounted brass gooseneck faucet. Hanging above the stone backsplash is a tall capsule-shaped mirror with a slim black metal frame, beautifully balanced by a sleek, linear brass wall sconce that provides elegant, diffused task lighting.

Several armchairs, upholstered in blue and white stripes, and small glass-topped coffee tables provide stylish and functional seating. A light beige cane-backed chair is placed near the left side, adding a subtle coastal touch. A gold-toned chandelier with intricate detailing hangs from the ceiling, enhancing the room’s elegance. At the back, the kitchen area is visible, featuring cabinetry and a central island that ties into the cohesive design. White sheer curtains are drawn across the expansive windows, offering privacy while diffusing the abundant natural light, completing the tranquil, breezy charm of this coastal-inspired living space.
