DECORATION How Now Treat SACRED COW W e first spied Jane Waggoner���s handknotted carpets in a Warhol-esque window installation at Forty Five Ten last year. Since then, the interior designer has continued to floor us with her sumptuous Tibetan wool rugs ��� all GoodWeave certified to ensure no child labor is involved. The Heming Way, one of six new designs she���s introduced this spring, is most definitely a breed apart. By special order at Forty Five Ten; to the trade at Interior Resources; janewaggonerfinecarpets.com. Amy Adams Make One���s AVIDAL CHRIS PL BED and Sigh in It Hue While debating the merits of Pratesi sheets or Kluft mattresses, it���s easy to forget about the bedstead itself. But with its lavish tufting and sexily curved Lucite cabriole legs, Allan Knight���s Bellaire Bed puts the focus back where it belongs. This velvet-upholstered sensation conjures up images of dreamy nights and ��� let���s face it ��� some deliciously carnal ones, too. To the trade at Allan Knight & Associates. Amy Adams HOLLYWOOD and Bovine If Jeff Koons and Walt Disney���s Ferdinand had a love child, it might look a little something like this: a one-of-a-kind handcrafted cow���s skull covered in intricately set Swarovski crystals ��� definitely more Blazing Saddles than High Noon. $9,800, exclusively at Nest. Amy Adams The incomparable Marc Chagall was multimedia before multimedia was even a label; over the course of his storied career, he applied his expressive use of color to paintings, sculpture, ceramics, collages, set design and costumes. It is the latter that gives ���Chagall: Beyond Color��� its unique point of differentiation. This exhibition features costumes he designed for the ballet Aleko (choreographed by L��onide Massine and set to Tchaikovsky���s Piano Trio in A Minor), which premiered September 1942 in Mexico City, followed by a Ballet Theatre of New York production. Since that time, these extraordinary amalgamations of painting and coutureworthy design have remained unseen. The Dallas Museum of Art is one of two museums worldwide (the other being France���s Mus��e de la piscine de Roubaix) to present these works, while also providing insight into the artist���s explorations and inspirations from the Mexican, Hopi Marc Chagall���s Costume for and Zuni cultures. a Clown (Aleko Scene II) Through May 26, at the (Costume pour un clown [Aleko Sc��ne II]), 1942, at DMA Dallas Museum of Art; dallasmuseumofart.org. Amy Adams Knew Saving Face Did the hipster facial hair moment come and go before you were able to cultivate your very own handlebar? No matter. The wickedly droll Jonathan Adler has added the Muse bottle opener to his arsenal of ideas. This hand-sculpted brass ���stache gives you all the irony without sacrificing personal appearance. Give it a twirl. $98, at Jonathan Adler. Amy Adams DUTCH If Freud had put forth Dutch design as a subject for free association, one might have expected the obvious clich��s: wooden shoes, windmills, tulips and a certain haircut. These days, one less obvious ��� but much more interesting ��� answer would be the latest Verden collection from manufacturer Linteloo. Verden, which is Danish for ���world,��� gives worthy artists the freedom to fully express themselves using the medium of furniture and home design; each new installation showcases the talents of a different individual. This year���s offerings are designed by Marcel Wolterinck, a visionary who first made a name for himself with his flower shop in Laren, Netherlands. Look closely, and you can identify the landscape-inspired touches in his work. ���My philosophy Cervino armchair is that outside and inside should grow together toward each other,��� Wolterinck explains. Granted, this collection features the clean lines and sleek silhouettes that are de rigueur in modern design, but it also elevates the genre with unexpected touches such as the feminine curves in the Cervino armchairs. You���ll also sense a subtle flare along the backs of sofas and chaises counterbalanced by masculine bronze sled-style frames. A side table (or, as the Dutch call it, a tray table) in the Mantova series seemingly floats above its impeccably symmetrical legs; the dining table has the same effect, with the added bonus of a strong center that gradually thins as it extends toward each end.
