Monaco Blue

Arabesque Cocktail Table Set by Dakota Jackson “I love the efficient design of this table—the amoeba shape is so well-formed that its two parts make a perfect whole. The gleaming dark blue is the new black!” Webster & Company, Boston, (617) 261-9660, webstercompany.com

Mrs. Damon’s Garden by Christopher Hyland “In remembrance of a garden he knew in childhood, Christopher Hyland updates his inspiration by the lavish use of contemporary metallic thread. The background is taken from another of his memories: the ultramarine-blue Aegean Sea.” Christopher Hyland, New York City, (212) 688-6121, christopherhyland.com

Soft Wind by Bernard Chaet “Bernard Chaet combines traditional landscape and modern abstraction. A master of bold color, his expressive brushstrokes brilliantly capture the movement of the clouds, air and atmosphere of Cape Ann.” Available through Elizabeth Brosnan Hourihan Interiors

Circa-1910 Awaji Pottery “I was transfixed by the brilliant blue color and clear translucent surface of this Japanese vase. Its graceful form shows off the variety of tones within the iridescent glaze.” Thomas K. Libby, South Norwalk, (203) 854-0500, tklibby.com
