Dana Gibson for Stroheim

Designer Dana Gibson was first introduced to the public through Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. I remember spying the toile painted lamp above in the window of a shop and racing home to the computer to madly search for its origin. After a few failed attempts, I discovered it was Dana Gibson creation. I also found a website full of delightful home accessories, in bright, bold patterns rooted in traditional design. Upon further search, I discovered Dana’s southern roots(kindred southerner), as well as gift of artistic talent, inherited from generations of artists in her family. Her mother is a painter, her grandmother was a sculptor and her great grandfather was Charles Dana Gibson, a noted painted and sculptor from the turn of the century. I quickly became a fan of Dana’s work. She has been creating artistic work for over 15 years, but I must say her latest collection with Stroheim is the best one yet! Imagine my delight to stumble upon her new line with Stroheim while at theDesign Bloggers Conference last week. I was so excited I immediately instagrammed a picture to designer friends at DBC and told them to check it out!
