This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Vibrant and Yellow!

There are some colors out there in the spectrum that just seem to go with everything and appeal to everyone. Then there are colors like yellow. Poor, bright, underestimated yellow. Yellow's not an easy color to go with in interiors (it's even been accused of making babies cry) but when it works, it works really well. Our suggestion on how to incorporate yellow into your decor? Choose a big, bold piece. We've gathered five pieces from this week's newest 1stdibs listings that are bold and yellow, enjoy!

1) Lacquered Credenza by Mastercraft with Greek Key-Fret Motif
This amazing piece is heavy, huge, masculine and most importantly, features a highly glossy and fabulous bright bold yellow color. Though the yellow would be enough to make this piece a show stopper, we also enjoy the huge Greek key-fret details that set this piece up to be a fabulous Hollywood Regency addition to some one's space.
Price: $18,950
Dealer:
Decoratum

2) Three Hughes, Serge Steiner Swivel Chairs
These French, Mid-Century Modern chairs have a fabulously rounded shape, but you'll see that here, their yellow color is more subdued and softer. These are great choice for those who still want a bold addition (the style and shape, here) but can't quite go for a bright yellow just yet. Price: contact dealer
Dealer:
Eric Appel LLC

3) Vibrant Yellow Blown Glass Vessel
Looking for a small but strong pop of yellow color? We've got it! This blown glass vessel comes in a vibrant yellow, and its sleek and modern shape is sure to stand out.
Price: $125
Dealer:
Paris Underground

4) Mount Airy Saffron Lacquer Modular Three-Section Dresser
Another bold, masculine yellow piece, this time as a dresser. The narrow length of this piece is exciting, and we like the yellow here isn't as glossy and has a bit of a more mustard yellow look. It seems a bit more natural and accessible.
Price: $6,500
Dealer:
Assemblage

5) Frederick Hammersley, "One Pair," Oil on canvas
Okay! There's more than just yellow in this painting. But wouldn't an all yellow canvas be a bit boring? This piece of art manages to have a modern look with lots of colors and shapes, but is dominated by the yellow, without doubt.
Price: contact dealer
Dealer:
NOHO Modern
