• A Lori Mitchell Design for ESC & Company

“Love Monster” by Lori Mitchell for ESC & Company is one of those pieces that’s hard not to smile at. It’s a little quirky, a little sweet, and just feels easy to like.

The shape has that signature Lori Mitchell look, slightly oversized head, long limbs, and a relaxed stance that makes it feel more like a character than a decoration. It’s not perfectly posed, which actually gives it more personality.

Up close, you can see the hand-painted finish, and that’s really where it comes to life. The colors aren’t perfectly even, and the surface has a soft, matte feel that makes it seem more handmade than manufactured. The face is simple, but there’s something about the expression that still feels warm and a bit endearing.

The heart it’s holding keeps the Valentine’s theme clear, but it doesn’t feel overdone. The softer reds help with that too, nothing too bright or loud.

It’s the kind of piece you end up keeping out a little longer than you planned.
