A Fendi Casa Penthouse; Crate and Barrel's New Teapots

NYC—One of the penthouses at Manhattan luxury building 400 Fifth Avenue has been decorated in more than $620K of Fendi Casa furnishings plus $240K in modern art. The three-bedroom unit, which boasts the Italian fashion house's signature "F" logo in rug form, is now listed for about $17M. Let's get some handbags with that, please? [CurbedWire Inbox]

EVERYWHERE—In honor of its 50th anniversary, Crate and Barrel has enlisted 12 designers, including architect Paola Navone and wallpaper goddess Julia Rothman, to create limited-edition teapots inspired by Arzberg's Bauhaus classic. The retailer plans to release one a month from Dec. until Nov. 2013. More info, right this way. [CurbedWire Inbox]

EVERYWHERE—Pantone has announced its top color for spring 2013: Monaco Blue, which is apparently "not a bright cobalt or sapphire blue" but "falls somewhere in between with a shot of sparkle." Get those walls ready, people. [CurbedWire Inbox]

THE INTERNET—Redfin has launched School Search, "a new feature that enables users to find ALL the homes for sale based on a certain school attendance zone," according to the release. Unlike search tools that focus on district, School Search allows prospective buyers to "see all the homes for sale served by [their school of choice], as well as sign up for alerts that let them know when a new listing comes on the market in the specified school zone." Read more. [CurbedWire Inbox]
