Hope you all had a great 4th!! Mine was a blast, even though we didn't see fireworks...
Anyhow, last week I was invited to the Jonathan Adler's office here in NYC & finally met the man himself. I remember how much of an inspiration he was for me when I first started my business.... I've always been attracted to his design aesthetic & even have his Meurice lamp in my apartment, it's even lovelier in person by the way! The place was huge - with an entire showroom & all employees were allowed to bring their little doggies to work, how cute!
On another note, Jonathan recently finished a collaboration with Pepsi on these cute red, white & blue biodegradable straws... you can actually see them in this post! They ended up giving me a pack, which I used for my 4th of July dinner party. I'll post those pics soon too!

Are you a fan of Mr. Adler's work? Do you own any of his stuff?

Awesome colors and patterns that pop! I love his office especially the waiting area and black and white "Irresistable Giftables!"
My old office used to let mebring my dog to work. It made SUCH a difference in the atmosphere! Love that little touch :)

Thanks Jen!
Good grief. Love the space, of course I'm not surprised at how colorful and chic it looks! Lucky you that you got to meet him!
Hi Jen,
Ack! You are so lucky! I love Jonathan Adler. I have his nelson lamp and want to get some of his figurines, they are just too fab. He is such an inspiration and now that I see his employees get to bring their dogs to work I love him even more!

Oh wow! It's my dream to meet The King of Colour!
I too loved the manifesto, and was shocked to read he'd never won any awards for his designs - crazy or what?!
I think there's something missing in his store though - your paintings;)
Thanks so much for sharing!

AMAZING!!!! I just watched "10 Things That Make Me Happy" w/ J Adler on Bravo and they took a tour of his office! That chihuahua is nutso..but cute!! This is such a great post. Thanks for sharing!! xoxo Elizabeth
CINZEE: I know, i was so surprised when i saw the dogs walking around..I did a double take at one point. But when i talked to Jonathan he finally confirmed they allowed pets. :)
such a lovely office!
I'd love to have an office like that one day. Those Pepsi straws are genius, I need some of those in my life.

What a beautiful office, he has an amazing taste. Like the blue santorini vase and pandora box.
So wish J. Adler would open a store in South Fla.
