The Abode Bowl from Thick as Thieves in Palm Springs.
PHOTO COURTESY THICK AS THIEVES
There’s more to the rustic-minimalist aesthetic than potted cactuses, beige and muddy neutrals, woven wall tapestries, and tone-on-tone pairings. It’s about blending textures and collected finds, adding pops of color, and creating an organic look that embodies the personality of the desert environs. Add this feeling to your abode, no matter where you live, with these pieces sourced from local retailers.
Vida + Luz Balance
ACME 5 Lifestyle, Yucca Valley
Based in Seattle, Washington, artist Jessica Salazar crafts wall hangings with driftwood and hammered brass that are meant to reflect nature. Underlining her mission to champion environmental sustainability, she sources the driftwood from private, family-owned land and gets the brass (which is not treated with any harsh chemicals) from within the United States.
