This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: An Assortment of Vibrant Colors!

In the past we've brought you many posts focusing on just one color of items from 1stdibs. Relaxing blues, calming greens and even dramatic black and white, just to name a few. And while we love the look that pops of one color bring to a space, there's something to be said for the drama that a piece sporting multiple colors can bring. We've gathered a few interesting pieces, furniture and accessories, that don't fit into any one color category:

1) Hand-Painted "Proust" Armchair by Alessandro Mendini
This 2009 piece is amazing! More like a painting than a piece of furniture, this handpainted chair incorporates a wide number of colors in a wonderful, eye-popping pattern that really catches the attention. We just love the feel this would bring to a space, though it is pricey!
Price: $41,938
Dealer:
Paris

2) Swedish Kilim
This Mid 20th Century Sweedish Kilim is described as "a Kilim with a modern twist." Already known as great way to bring exotic color into a space, we love that this textile does so in such a modern way!
Price: $3,500
Dealer:
Galerie Shabab

3) Three Vintage Board Games
What a fun and youthful way to bring in color to your space with these vintage board games. Used framed on a wall they'll not only sport a number of colors, they'll be a fun and interesting thing to have as wall decor, as well!
Price: $200
Dealer:
Pariscope Design

4) Washington Color Field Painting by Cynthia Bickley
This large color field painting from the 1960s is a great, simple and modern way to bring in color in the form of a traditional painting. Almost like a color sampling, this painting would go with a lot of different decor styles.
Price: $4,800
Dealer:
Darrell Dean Antiques

5) Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel
Two children's toys in one post, we know! But children's games and toys always have the most fun and vibrant colors, and this ferris wheel from the 1950s is no exception!
Price: contact dealer
Dealer:
T.C. Donobedian's
