The talented Donald Fowler, buyer at Nest, has a penny for your thoughts—copper penny that is; he has a whole new copper collection in the front of the store that positively shines. I am loving the warm glow that copper produces, because I think it’s been an also ran in the metal department for too long. Donald agrees: “I’ve thought for a long time that copper was never brought to a modern esthetic. I found a new Turkish line that translates the Moroccan look into today by cleaning up the execution. Think Calvin Klein meets Morocco—tray tables you know with modern legs, serving bowls with adapted Turkish patterns that are sleek and contmporary. And all items use copper as the base metal, and then are either polished or dipped in silver or gold, so they all have a curious warm glow.” I say go see for yourself and be transported on a magic copper ride.
