Charli loves Jasper

Ms. Fusion — Wed, 18 May 2011 23:00:44 +0000

Our Charli-girl on Jasper the chair, shown in tangerine, now at Fusion Home. With midcentury lines that are timeless, this chair, originally designed by Robert Petrie is a classic!
Jasper comes in many sizes from chair to sofa to sectional and other colors. Unlike most versions on the market, we make this retro modern chair locally to ensure the highest quality and a lifetime of enjoyment.
Charli-girl is one of a kind, but you can always visit her at Fusion Home.

Power of a Good Stitch

Ms. Fusion — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:44:32 +0000

Up and coming Los Angeles artist Kate Mueller is making a splash on the art scene with her meticulously prepared photographs. Mueller uses a traditional needle and thread to stitch her photo negatives together, giving her pieces a completely unique edge. While time-consuming to produce, Mueller’s art is modern, darkly fascinating, and oddly moving.

We were tickled by the detail of these tiny paper pop-up creations. The design line, called Terada Mokei, has crafted miniature scale models into a true form of entertainment. Remarkable designer Naoki Terada also produces his own unique pop-up cards! Check them out at his website.

Announcing Fusion Home’s hosting of Thymes products.

Ms. Fusion — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 00:15:17 +0000

This month we’re also happy to announce that we will begin our hosting of unique and refreshing bath and body products from Thymes, a company dedicated to the creation of special and engaging fragrances. This is an association we are very excited about, and we know once you give them a try you will be, too. We have hand-picked each of the products that we will be featuring, including refreshing candles and lotions that are sure to charm and enrapture.

We’re especially fond of the popular scent Agave Nectar.

This highly respected company has been producing scents for 30 years, and takes great pride in its contribution towards “enriching the quality of one’s daily experience” through its original and subtle creations. We are thrilled to be able to bring Thymes to Ventura!

Ms. Fusion — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:58:53 +0000

We’re buffing up our online catalog here at Fusion, and we think you might find a lot to like if you peruse our virtual pages. We especially love this fabulous new pendant lamp, the Veronica, now available for purchase online. Stately and elegant with a dash of modern fun, this surprising lamp is pure eye candy.

The Veronica Pendant Lamp

Pressed for space? Try the Half-Veronica. Just as trendy but half the weight and size.

Both of these are in our catalog, featured in our vibrant new lighting selection!

Frida Pot Preparation and Care

Ms. Fusion — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 19:13:22 +0000

We’ve been getting many questions regarding one of our most popular products, the Frida kitchenware line. Some customers have been asking about the history of these unique pots and pans while others would like to be reminded exactly of how to prepare and clean this cookware. We thought it best to answer all of your questions in one place! If you’ve never heard of our Frida pots, stop into the store or take a look at the selection available in our online catalog.

About: Black clay cookware can be traced back 700 years to objects found in pre-Columbian archaeological sites. Still made in the traditional manner, mostly by women, each piece is shaped by hand. There are no toxins used. There is no lead or glaze. The smooth finish is the result of hand-burnishing riverside with stones, therefore no two are alike! Imperfections are normal, as well as the clay changing to a terracotta color when heated over time.

Use: Ideal for cooking and serving. Can be placed on open fire. Oven, microwave and stovetop safe. We recommend using a heat diffuser when cooking on an electric range. Do not expose to sudden changes in temperature, such as moving from the refrigerator to a hot oven, placing it in a preheated oven or placing it on a cold surface when it is hot.

Before using: Season before use by filling three-quarters full of water and placing in an oven for 30 minutes at 400ºF UNCOVERED. Do not preheat oven when placing pot in oven! This usually seals the cookware, although a complete seal is sometimes achieved only after it has been used several times for cooking. Boiling milk in the vessel may help if you still find it to be too porous, but this is rarely necessary.

Cleaning:After seasoning, the cookware cleans easily. A quick soak and wipe down with a sponge or damp rag is all you need to clean it. The dishwasher and abrasive cleaners are NOT recommended.

Spring is here, and so is the winged Basil Chair.

Thank you all for making our weekend spring sales event such a smashing success! Many of you, our faithful costumers, braved the rare Ventura rain and made off with great pieces at discount prices.

Many more like the Basil to come as Spring spreads over Fusion Home!

Floating Glass

Ms. Fusion — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:22:41 +0000

The most popular item of 2010 has become an all-time Fusion Home favorite! We (and Ventura customers) can’t seem to get enough of these amazing “floating glass” feathers! Made from mouth-blown glass, each piece is completely unique, with a beautiful feather (or two or three) captured inside. Looks beautiful beside a window or anywhere it can catch the light!

Available in-store right now, stop by to see them for yourself.
