Anthropologie -Marine Decor & Nathalie Lete

octopus hook
Anthropologie has a number of unique coastal theme items under Marine Decor and other categories (this octopus hook for example), but what I'm mostly smitten by are the products created by artist Nathalie Lete.


Nathalie Lete is a product designer and artist who lives in Paris, and she has been commissioned by Anthropologie to make unique pieces for their stores.

octopus art rug
Bold art rugs like this octopus rug which was on display in Anthropologie's flagship store at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City two years ago.

lobster rug
What's available online is this equally artsy and unique lobster rug. Update: Natalie of Forever The Hostess commented that this rug is actually made from a painting by New Orleans artist Shelley Hesse. It says so in the description, but I missed it!

octopus dinner plates
Here Nathalie Lete's cool dinner plates (sweet octopus again)...

seahorse glass
... and beautiful Life-At-Sea tumbles. Click here to see her entire line.

Nathalie Lete artist studio
And I'm always interested to see where it all happens! So here it is, Nathalie Lete's studio in Paris.

Actually, the lobster rug was commissioned by Anthropologie from a painting by Shelley Hesse. She is a New Orleans based artist, and her work is truly magical! Check her out here: http://www.shelleyhesse.com/gallery/

Those rugs are absolutely amazing!!! I would LOVE to have that rug in my house!! I stopped in to Anthropologie not too long ago and didn't see anything marine-like! Maybe because I live in NY!
