The
Lazy River
An Artistic Entry
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island
School of Design, artist/craftsman Lenn Neff has 40 years
of experience designing and building custom architectural
glass doors, windows and entryways for hospitals,
universities, restaurants, private homes, ecclesiastical
buildings and public art commissions. This “Sansone”
entry door, designed and constructed for a private residence
in St. Petersburg, consists of double doors that are eight
feet tall and encased in Mahogany. The leaded and handbeveled
glass is colorless; the various hues are a result
of the landscaping on the outside of the home. The glass
comes to life as swaying palm fronds and passing vehicles
move behind it, creating a constant change in light, color
and texture. Lenn Neff is based in St. Petersburg and can
be contacted at (727) 823-3919.
This ultimate dog bed was humorously inspired
by the German design style, Bauhaus, which
places emphasis on its artistic elements, as well
as its functionality. The stainless-steel frame is 10”
high by 45” wide and 31” deep, and the cushions
are wrapped in treated leather that can be wiped
clean. If your pets rule your home, this is the
ideal way to show them that you understand that
they are in charge. Cats would probably think
it is neat too. It is available at Scan Design, 4221
West Gandy Boulevard in Tampa, (813) 805-2777.
