The new collection of entertaining-inspired pieces from Jay Jeffers for Arteriors is filled with gleaming, glamorous things, perfect for giving and getting. If you are looking for that over the top gift this season for the person that has everything, this just might be it. The collection centers around the San Francisco-based designer's love of all things entertaining, and includes tiny drinks tables with masculine luxe appeal, trays, boxes and pieces to outfit the perfectly elegant bar. A bit art deco a bit French 40's, the assortment is gutsy and bold. Take, for example, the brass  Pierre Ice Bucket, with its distinct cut linear pattern and rough-cut gemstone-like handles. High-style to be sure. Jeffers, the author of Collected Cool, has such a fun personality something tells me he throws one heck of a fun fete. Cheers!

Pairing shiny brass with matte texture, the Marcel Ice Bucket with lid elevates any gathering from meh to wow.

I like to say you can never have enough boxes. My theory is proven correct again, with this interesting lozenge-shaped brass box, the Duval, which has inner trays to store or serve and looks just as good on a coffee table as it does in the bar.
