...These times they are a-changin...

Hi All,

In an effort to condense my various modes of creative digital disbursement, i.e. photo sites, design blogs, personal blogs, I will now be posting all photography, snippets from the design world, and general goins-ons via my tumblr site ~ is anything new?

Don't be a stranger & Thank you for visiting!

...What happens in Rio...

How hot is this Oscar Neimeyer 'Rio Chair' for Fasem? It reminds me of a great sculpted pair of YSL shoes! Me-OW!

...Light my way...

Being the lighting junkie I am, I love this concept from Croatian designer Zoran Sunjic for LED handrails. A creative and visually stunning way to spruce up otherwise dark, dingy, and uninteresting stairways we see so often in the city...

...Wandering Eyes...

The 'Can Can' Light by Marcel Wanders for Flos. Yummy glossy black lacquer shell with soft folds of fabric inside. Beautiful!

...SLVR...

Adidas SLVR... it's refreshing to see Adidas employ some more progressive design practices into their new clothing line.


I have to admit, I am a little obsessed with carabingers (a bit of an odd obsession, i realize). Something about the simple design and endless functionality that makes me use them for just about ANYTHING that has a hole in it. I may have to add this luxe leather wrapped edition to my collection...

...Through the Looking Glass...

The latest and greatest 'Lens Sconce' from Alison Berger for Holly Hunt. I had the pleasure of meeting Alison at a Holly Hunt event last year where she spoke about her extensive background in art and architecture and deep interest in the relationship between glass and light-- the former as a material, and later as a medium. Her pieces achieve a wonderful sculptural and earthly quality from a masterful use of metal and hand-blown glass that retains bubbles and imperfections that make each piece one of a kind.

...Apparat...

Baccarat's new 'Apparat' collection features the silhouettes of classic Baccarat pieces on more modern shapes. By France's 5.5 Designers.

...Apple Apples...

It seems Steve Job's non-hostile take-over of the universe is complete. A "Japanese guy" (according to Gizmodo) discovered that sticking Apple's cutesy mini ipod stickers on fuji apples a month before harvesting would stop the covered areas from developing color. Think sticker tans in high school!

...Alex & Chloe...

Cheeky jewels from Alex & Chloe toe the line between high and low-brow. Fun shapes like oversized 'zero carat' diamonds, swords, and a jangle of keys mix with svelt spikes and inverted black stones set into square rings. Prices range from around $50 for mirrored acrylic necklaces to upwards of $4000 for 24 carat gold. Also check out their line of apparel- on the pricey side @ $150 for a t-shirt, but some really great prints if the recession isn't hitting you too hard! Fun for boys & girls.

I was browsing the Art Archives on Moco Loco for something tasty for the new condo and ran across a blurb on Sam Messenger. His simple, graphic, and monochromatic works on paper are fantastic.

...Bookhou Felty...

Finding good looking, modern kid's furniture is always a challenge. Bookhou makes this very cute 'Felt Chair' (what is it with me & grey felt?) made from bent ash and a cozy layer of industrial felt. Well priced at around $170~ I kind of wish they made a larger version for me! Check out the rest of their line of crafty handmade home accessories.

...Don't Hate on my Shine...

Brilliant 'Periodic Table' from Council features chunky blocks of wood and a coat of pure silver that creates a stunning reflective effect while still letting the beauty of the wood shine through. I love the mixture of bleached, raw, organic chunks of wood and the polished, sleek look of the silver surface. Not exactly a steal @ $42,000~ start saving now!
