Palm Springs

Mid century modern decor is Palm Springs' whole identity, and this collection delivers real design pedigree rather than reproductions. A 1970s Milo Baughman illuminated side table and a mid-century pine loveseat with leather sling arms both carry the confident, low-slung silhouette the era and the city are known for. A pair of De Sede patchwork bean bags bring genuine Swiss design lineage into the same desert-modern register.

Palm Springs interior design leans on bold material choices as much as clean lines (a red marble pedestal, a gold square mirror, Pierre Frey tiger-print upholstered ottomans), pieces built to anchor a room rather than blend into it. A French pine bookcase and a brutalist iron hanging sculpture bring texture and scale into the mix without softening the collection's overall confidence.

Lighting and object work fills out the smaller end of the range: copper candle holders, a bronze leaf candleholder, a sculptural candle holder set, a signed MCM vase. A curvature wood art piece and an industrial "found" sculpture lean more purely artistic. A 1970s ceramic coin bank and a vintage cheese knife are the kind of small, specific finds that only turn up through real sourcing trips.

A pair of textured lava vases and an Anza Borrego book round out the collection with a nod to the desert landscape surrounding Palm Springs itself, alongside a Ralph Matthews sculpture that adds real named-artist provenance to the mix.

Palm Springs became a design destination specifically because of who built there. Architects and designers working through the mid-century decades treated the desert as an opportunity rather than a constraint, and the furniture and objects that came out of that period reflect the same confidence. This collection follows that same logic: pieces are chosen for how boldly they commit to a material or form.

Because so much of what's here carries real design-house names (Milo Baughman, De Sede, Pierre Frey), provenance matters more in this collection than in almost any other destination page in the shop. Scale runs large here more than most of Kaitlyn's other sourcing trips: case pieces, seating, and lighting sized to anchor a room rather than accent it.

Shop this collection for a statement piece with genuine mid-century pedigree: a signed vase for a shelf, an illuminated side table for a living room, or a loveseat built to be the room's actual centerpiece.
