A show stopping piece from Editions 4, the newest collection to arrive by Studio Paolo Ferrari, the Mr. B Table is "lickable" (according to a highly reputable source). High gloss lacquer -- shown here in a deep oxblood -- is customizable in any Benjamin Moore hue. We've made it round and rectangular, coffee tables and side tables, but the world is your shiny, reflective oyster. Add a matching back-painted glass top for extra durability and shine.

LIFE/DESIGN
At Colony we believe that the best design is that which is well loved, used and lived in. Here are some of our favorite table-toppers for Mr. B.
Pretty Playing Cards
Have you ever watched Ken Burns' National Parks docuseries? Me neither, I fell asleep. I've heard it's wonderful though, and these pretty playing cards from Parks Project benefit national park conservation.
IGWS (it goes without saying) we love a card game with or without a new deck of cards. Our Gallery Coordinator, Grace's go-to is the Russian classic Durak.
Flowers for Drying
You know when cut flowers start to smell like a hot wet sock? Avoid that situation entirely by choosing flowers that work dried as well. At Colony, we have inadvertently tested out MANY flower varieties, and topping our list for self-drying flowers are eucalyptus and our Art Director Madeleine's favorite, Craspedia.
Always be snacking
We love snacks. And we're certainly not turning our noses up at a bag of pretzels. But some appetizers and homemade snacks are too easy to pass up. Colony founder Jean's current obsession are these Taiwanese Snowflake Crisps. She makes them with dried cranberries and pistachios but any nut and dried fruit combination works. Here's a recipe to get you started.
