TREASURE OF THE DEEP
LALIQUE’s master glass workers have crafted an exceptionally beautiful interpretation of Poseidon’s chariot. Graced by two prized seahorses, the delicately decorated crystal body, accomplished entirely by hand, is covered in a magical mist. The Poseidon Vase is a limited edition of 99 numbered pieces available in each color—clear, opalescent, ocean blue, and amber (shown). For details about LALIQUE, visit lalique.com. The Poseidon Vase is available through Radcliffe Jewelers, radcliffejewelers.com or 800-487-0309.
OCEANIC ART
Michael Aram’s collection of oceanic tableware celebrates the fluid forms and craggy textures of sea creatures. The tentacle-like legs of his Neptune bowls draw on the shapes of seaweed and octopus and animate these pieces, while enchanting fins swim around the base of the Mermaid Seafood Bowl. Crafted of stainless steel and bronze using age-old handworking techniques, this inspired serveware speaks of Aram’s reputable gift. To learn more about the collection and Aram’s work, go to michaelaram.com or dial 866-792-2726.

SOLAR POWER SHOWER
Refresh in Les Jardins’ Émoé shower, where contemporary coastal style meets traditional teak craftsmanship. Gracefully curved and tapered, the shower can be outfitted with a solar heater or connected to an existing water supply—the solar set-up holds 25 liters (enough for 5 rinses), which is heated by the sun in about an hour. Installation of the base and tower is simple and can be done with basic do-it-yourself knowledge. The Émoé shower is available through Asindo Canada Inc., a teak dealer that sells directly to homeowners as well as via trade professionals.
