We love to entertain here in Aspen. We like a casual but sophisticated ambience. I am always looking for ideas to mange guests but not micro-manage. As the hostess, I am always concerned that everyone gets to taste all the hors devours;

I found that my guests don’t reach across the table; they would only eat what is in front of them.

THE SOLUTION... Let’s bring back the Lazy Susan.

NEXT CHALLENGE…. After searching and googling, the styles were, uh … lets say… 1950s and brown

THE ANSWER… Into my studio I go, to create Lazy Susans with an exceptional design, style and sophistication, pieces that have the global modern aesthetic of Andi-Le. carved and embellished. 

They are definitely not your mother’s lazy susans. And they are NOT SO lazy. 3 collections (so far) and more to come.

Bespoke vs Mass Produced Furniture

Finding the right piece, in the right size, in the right tone, with the right elements, can be down right tough. And can leave a bare space in your home for longer than you intended and never being quite finished or quite right.

 While buying either a custom pieces or a mass produced piece can be beautiful and exclusive. The exclusivity is in the process not the design.

 As a designer and maker, I am moved by a desire for authenticity and pieces genuinely inspired by the maker. I like knowing the hands that touched it, the history, the story and the soul of a piece.

I encourage everyone to find artists and craftsmen that resonate with you. Get involved in the process and create something fresher and more alive.

 A home is more than a place to rest your heads. Beautiful objects have the ability to transform. Your home is the best representation of who you are, what you like and how you live.

So my passion is to help you LIVE CREATIVELY!

LUXDETAILS the Preview Launch

My passion for hand crafted and superior quality pieces with an edge, finally got the best of me.

I launched LUXDETAILS, an online gallery of one-of-a-kind and limited edition, home and fashion accessories.

One of the issues with being creative is that artists and designers LOVE to create. Selling, on the other hand, is not a LOVE. And “getting out there” can be elusive.

I love to create, and along with the Andi-Le line of custom accent furniture, I have a million ideas. Designing and creating one of a kind pieces and limited edition,

home accessories lets my juices flow. LUXDETAILS.com will represent Andi-Le accessories as well as other artist/designers.

It will be an honor to spotlight talented and undiscovered makers and designers of superior quality work with authenticity and an aesthetic of luxury with an edge. Not crafty but hip. Not only a mix of high design and sophistication, but pieces with a soul, meaning and purpose.

For the discerning clientele with a selective eye, I will introduce objects that imply luxury and a certain exclusivity that comes with seeking out what is not readily found. The collections of LUXDETAILS are curated and hold to critical standards.

I will search the world to bring you fantastic and unique objects to choose from. Nothing mass-produced here, just limited edition or one-of-a-kind, pure integrity and pride in every piece.

So please check out the preview launch of LUXDETAILS.com And connect with us by signing up on the mailing list, so you can see the latest objects of desire and be inspired and Live creatively

"In the Studio at Andi-Le"

Asymmetry and Imperfection

Nature cannot be made more perfect. Every tree, rock and stream etc, is beautiful is it's own simplicity. Wind has hand carved the time that has gone by. Water and sun patina most anything in its view. There is just no improvement one can do to natures work.The natural direction of growth and age presents itself to the eye in wonder.

I love riding my horse, out here in Colorado, through the Pinyon Pine. They are natures sculptures, always changing and morphing in to craggy shapes. They grow in the most arid landscapes out west. It leaves you in wonder.

As a furniture designer I want to balance the "naturalness" with contemporary. I use thick planks to feel the weight and work with it's natural inherency's. We handcraft our pieces with mostly clear wood here at Andi-Le to work within the aesthetic. Knots are great opportunities for a unique piece of furniture. The grains might also enhance the end result. Adding other elements, for instance stainless steel, acrylic, or stone change the dynamic for the chosen decor.

Check out Andi-Le's latest one of a kind pieces to see where the inspiration leads. Live Creatively,

Until next time, Andrea
