Yours for a Price
It used to be that if you wanted to enjoy one of India Mahdavi’s chic little tables you had to hobnob with the demimonde at London’s Bungalow 8, where £10 will buy you a cocktail, if not much dignity.
Now, through Ralph Pucci International, the Parisian designer’s
furniture is available in the United States. The 18-piece collection includes the Flower low table, with a lacquered-wood top that shows Mahdavi’s opulent yet simple style. It’s a sleek slice of the jet set—minus the paparazzi.
