kleinreid really doesn’t need an introduction, but i figured i should make one, seeing as they’re my neighbor (don’t you wish you were me??) and i’ve never even met them. they finally put up some pics i could steal (hahaha!) so i decided to post some of their lovely, grandma (and knitting!) inspired pillows. got…
i spent my evening last night surrounded by lovely knitting ladies who also enjoy my favorite guilty pleasure show, america’s next top model (ok, so maybe it’s tied with the apprentice and the swan, i happen to have a very high tolerance for crap television). the whole night was a blast, from stumbling through my…
now, i’ve never been one for complex furniture or kitchen systems, but i think i may have been converted. while checking out the goods over at henrybuilt i discovered i may have to change the way i view kitchen systems. yes, i may become a systems girl yet. henrybuilt is a furniture company based in…
ok, so i happen to think that nigella lawson is both the sexiest and most delightful woman in the entire world. i discovered her cooking shows a few years back and have been hopelessly hooked ever since. she has the most sensuous and loving demeanor, which she applies to everything in her kitchen. she approaches…
i play street hockey. and i love it. our league is chock full of creative types, so i’m constantly being introduced to new artists, architects and photographers (fair amount of comedians in there too…). hence, my nemesis (only because of his shoddy, season destroying reffing skills…argggh), alex eben, has turned me on to two great…
PIECES OF ME [puzzle mirror*tobias wong] ok, so i really just wanted to post this as an excuse to quote lyrics from an ashlee simpson song. so sue me. i wish i had mtv so i could watch more of the joke that is ashlee simpson’s career (she’s just soo punk rock!). ahh, cable.
steve mosley and dominic wilcox sincerely apologize for all the trouble they’ve caused. well….at least their stamps do. the british design duo of steve mosley and dominic wilcox (better known as mosley meets wilcox) have been described as “either slightly twisted or very creative” and manage to live up to both descriptions quite well. founded…
ELITE DESIGNERS AGAINST IKEA [hahaha*hahaha] geoff from objects collection sent me this link. it’s funny. here, go laugh.
TUCKED AWAY [copenhagen chair*54dean] while lingering on 54dean’s site yesterday i found this great chair. made of steel and hemp (or white marine) cordage, it’s a great way to stow away those warm blankets that are the perfect complement to a cool summer night. oh, if only it were summer. for us wintery nothern folks,…
TAKE ME AWAY [palm tree mirror*too tired to remember his name] i know, i know, i really should have written this down. actually, i think i did, but i’m too tired to find the piece of paper right now. i ran into this mirror at firstop a month or so ago and wanted to post…
CHANDY LOVE [neon chandelier*lite brite neon] yes, i’ve posted this before, but i’m in love. with a chandelier. and this crew. available at the future perfect and coming soon to a new york magazine near you…
ok, so about a year ago i woke up and everyone and their hipster brother was knitting. yeah, knitting. there’s already a hip(ster) knitting store on bedford ave in williamsburg. i think this chick’s stuff is soooo cool. i love crazy hair things. i found her via a post on core77 about this hysterical thing…
egg crate tables! college chic! thought these were cute too… you can find them here. you can find info on ms. tomato here. thanks elsewares for giving me great new designs to look at!
so, i stumbled onto elsewares some time ago and rather impressed with their selection of local artists (well, local to those of you who live in the ny area). in case you haven’t checked out their selection of truly great independant artists, you should go. just click here. see how easy it is to find…
SOMETHING DIFFERENT [hough waves*andreas schjonhaug and kristoffer stenersen] these computer generated images are made via some sort of complicated process that two norwegian grad students have created. i’m not good with these details, so see more here. my favorite collection is the “silk” one.
WHAT THE? [speed dating*design within reach] i think this is reaching too far. singles night at dwr? i guess it’s a great way for lonely design-conscious people to hook up, but something about it seems silly. thoughts?
ok, so clearly i can talk about the bouroullec brothers until i’m blue in the face, and then talk some more. but today i was thinking about fall and you know, foliage and stuff and that got me started on flowers. so here are some interesting ways to display them, courtesy of my favorite design…
no, bush hasn’t been replaced by someone with a brain. but i DID look through spoon from phaidon press, which is a phenomenal new(ish) design book that i’m going to talk about more next week. until then, i’ve been wallowing in all 400 some pages of gorgeous design photos. being the sponge that i am,…
ORANGE YOU GLAD I POSTED THIS?[haha*haha] this post is for the guy who posted about the marcel wanders vase. looks like he could use some cheering up. so, here’s a bright rocker from christopher poehlmann just for you! smile! design isn’t all bad! xoxoxo design*sponge
NO, NOT THAT J.LO [rug collections*j.milo design] well, interior design’s fall market tabloid is out and ooohweee is there some stuff to look at. i fell in love instantly with j.milo design’s contemporary rugs. i’m sure i can’t afford them, but if i could, i’d snatch up knotty (the wooden one), bubbles (the bubbly one)…
