We compile our favourite new home decor pieces from across the West.
We’re suckers for a good throw pillow, but Vancouver-based artist Julia Di Sano just upped the ante with her collection of Ebi Emporium cushions ($75) based on her original paintings, featuring a vibrant mix of abstract splashes of neon, distressed chevron patterns or soft pastel ombré. Each is one of kind.Fine Finds, Vancouver. finefindsboutique.com
Peter Pierobon’s artwork has made it into the public collections of New York’s Museum of Arts and Design and the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, but his furniture pieces, made in B.C., are just as worthy of adulation—like the jagged Walnut Bar ($19,500), a gorgeous, angular experiment inspired by the Rocky Mountain skyline.

The club chair gets an update from Bensen, a past Western Living Furniture Designer of the Year: sink into the deep but surprisingly compact U Turn seat (from $2,250) and swivel on the 360-degree circular base toward the future of design. Inform Interiors, Vancouver. informinteriors.com

The hip packaging of the Amola Sea Salt Company, formerly Sea to Sky Seasoning, features beautiful branding (we love the quirky half-pig, half-fish that adorns the slick boxes) worthy of the product inside: garlic rosemary, cabernet sauvignon and, of course, bacon salt infusions (from $7.95).
