Baker Selected Works of Tony Duquette

Over nearly six decades, one prolific designer supplied mansionsful of sophisticated exuberance to Hollywood royalty—who jealously guarded his masterpieces. Baker now liberates 19 of them from private ownership by reproducing and adapting them as part of a collection called the Selected Works of Tony Duquette. Designed in 1965 for Charles and Palmer Ducommun's house in Los Angeles, the Biomorphic console combines a 70-inch-wide glass top and a 33-inch-high cast-resin base finished with gold or silver leaf. 800-592-2537; bakerfurniture.com. circle 410

Pure Design Air Hazel

It goes way beyond the pretty flower and tree patterns embroidered on the Fire Cyrilla armchair, the Air Hazel lounge chair, and the Fire Cyrilla banquette.

Kreiss Next

No double fault here—star tennis couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graff helped Michael Kreiss design two versions of Nest. While the love seat measures 62 inches wide, there's also a 35-inch-wide chair. Rattan vines camouflage the driftwood-finished mahogany frames of both, and linen covers cushions filled with goose feathers and down. 800-573-4771; kreiss.com. circle 429

Luciano Zonta Tintoretto

Tintoretto seems perfectly suited for a palazzo in Venice. The linden-wood chest's brass hardware and flourishes, finished in either nickel or gold, complement finish choices of green, red, black, or white lacquer in addition to gold or silver leaf. Dimensions are 26 inches wide, 36 high, and 18 deep. MZM Living; 336-882-0188. circle 430
