Stacy Kunstel (aka Duchess), stylist and editor extraordinaire & Michael Partenio (aka Dunes), a phenomenal photographer, have combined their artistic talents to create a beautiful line of candlebras and lamps, Dunes & Duchess.
When I saw Stacy & Michael at the New York International Gift Fair in Janurary, they were premiering their new hurricane design.
Well, I flipped!
How fantastic would these look by the pool? Lining a path to a beach party? As a centerpiece for your backyard barbeque?
I think they are endlessly useful for lighting up any event, whether it’s a romatic dinner for 2 or a soiree for seventy! Speaking of soirees, Tara Guerard the founder of Charleston based wedding/event planning company, Soiree recently used Dunes & Duchess lamps for a Southern wedding.
Available in black, orange, white, navy and this light blue….there is a fit for any decor.
Tomorrow kicks off the “unofficial” start to Summer, white jeans, flip flops…..and outdoor entertaining.
These hurricanes are so chic and romantic! And white jeans and flip flops! YAY!!!!
Stacy and Michael certainly have that special touch and everything they make is fabulous! Love your idea of lighting a path to the beach with these hurricanes – will have to borrow that one for the Hamptons.
xxoo
I so agree…these are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! Love them, what a great mix. Going to bookmark these. I love Tara Geurards work and featured her on one of my Thursdays posts could so see her using these…am going to let a friend of mine know of these as she is planning a wedding for her daughter at their house in Marthas Vineyard next August and these could be amazing for their wedding!! Beautiful…..
I just love everything Stacy and Michael are doing. I saw the candelabra at Design on a Dime – it's such a chic modern design – love the closure. It is indeed perfect for outdoor summer entertaining!!
cannot wait to get a few of my own and have the perfect party to show them off!

Oh my WOW!!! These are fantastic! Kinda makes me want to get married all over again but this time do it outdoors with these babies 🙂
Have a great night, sweetie and enjoy the gorgeous weekend! xoxo
What a fantastic idea, lovely photos to go with as well. I love the beach but now that I'm in Tokyo.. I'm avoiding it.
I don't know what I love more…the creativity or the color?! Either way, I'm loving it!! XO, Kelly
I'm beyond smitten, thanks for the intro!
