This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Summertime blue!

It's been awhile since we organized one of our weekly 1stdibs newest items round-ups around a color. Well, we've done it today; all today's favorite picks feature a decidedly bright blue. Why blue? Well for one, it's a fabulous color. And two, with summer hot on spring's heels, it seems we've been seeing a lot of it as we look up to the sky or look over a clear, aqua-marine colored lake. All these pieces we chose feature a great blue, but also are sort of simple pieces, allowing the color to steal the show.

1) Table Bleue by Yves Klein
We love the energy and movement of this large coffee table. A large, glass square filled with International Klein Blue (IKB) pigment, this piece is modern, but also resists being static by being filled with such an interesting material.
Price: $20,500
Dealer: artware

2) Pair of Modernistic Floor Lamps
This pair of modernistic floor lamps are a great example of how just a hint of a bold color can make for an incredible look. The shape of the lamp, a smooth orb on a thin pole is the perfect receptacle for a cool, modern turquoise blue.
Price: $6,800
Dealer: Antiques and Modern Design

3) Italian Curved Sofa
This sensually curved couch is made all the more modern and sexy by the addition of sleek, modern blue mohair upholstery. Made in the 1950s, you just can't contain the Mid-Modern style of this piece of furniture, and it makes it even more bold due to the color.
Price: $9,400
Dealer: Phillip Thomas

4) Pair of Milo Baughman blue mohair and chrome lounge chairs
What can we say, we just can't stay away from Milo Baughman's designs. The curves, partnered with sleek lines and Mid-Century stylings, create an amazing pair of chairs that are also upholstered in gorgeous blue mohair. These would no doubt look great with the blue Italian Curved Sofa!
Price: $5,500
Dealer: Thomas Hayes Gallery

5) Gerd Bogelund Royal Copenhagen Lamp
In case you don't want to invest in a bold blue piece that's as large as a sofa or as imposing as floor lamps, you can always go for a small-scale table lamp, like this great one. Sure it's small, but when the light is on, it'll spotlight the great blue color of its base!
Price: $1,400
Dealer: Artful Dodger Inc.
