The king of all fruits

Have you guys noticed how pineapples are totally having a moment this summer?

It's not hard to see why. They look good, smell good, taste good and are aesthetically perhaps the most interesting of the sexy fruits. Not to mention the humble pineapple is THE KING OF ALL FRUITS.

Historically, pineapples in design symbolized hospitality. In the past century or so I'd say they got a kitsch value association thanks to surf and tiki culture. This new wave of pineapple love seems earnestly inspired by the cool aesthetics of the fruit and the digital print trend in fashion only lends itself to interesting motifs.

Here are some of my favorite pineapple design iterations --

This pineapple wallpaper in ebony by Rifle Paper Co.

I would love this in a powder room or on a single feature wall in larger room.

This pineapple lamp found on Horchow.

Nice and clean- I'd love this on a small table in a foyer. 

 A sweet set of these brass pineapples. The larger ones can be used as ice buckets on a bar cart!
