seems like gwen stefani isn’t the only one taking lessons from the cool kids of tokyo. designboom’s coverage of the tokyo designers block 2004 was a great overview of the best the show had to offer. taking place in galleries from the shibuya to harajuku districts, the event showcased some amazing new designers. designboom and…
i was never a real fancy schmancy type of girl- i’ve always preferred dressed down to dressed up, but this past october my wonderful ac got some gorgeous crystal stemware for us and i’ve been rather intrigued by the shiny stuff ever since. flipping through the times magazine last weekend i noticed a steuben ad…
mr. moss has impeccable taste, as we all know (see sam buxton’s mikro house above). so i decided to pick through his holiday gift guide and see if anything was interesting….and of course, i found a few things. see the best of the best below and drop by moss on greene and houston for the…
mocoloco posted some great new eco-friendly resin furniture today by 3 form called varia that i just had to double up on. i’ve never been one for resin, as i find it rather uncomfortable, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and admit it’s pretty damn cool. and, it should make the folks…

WHAT WHAT?

THE LIGHT [neon sconce*lite brite neon] matt and the lite brite crew have done it again. this time lighting up our lives with a kick-ass neon sconce. way better than some old-lady thing with tassels, yeah? super cool. way to go you guys!
music is the only thing that keeps me sane (well, that and reality tv) and thank god, i’m lucky enough to live in a neighborhood filled with the good kind. since i used to be a dj and even worked my tail off for an independent brooklyn label, i figured, what the hell, not every…
here at design*sponge we’ve become accustomed to scooping the print world, (sooo…slow…must…wait to publish…) as you well know. well here’s an example of how a design*sponge scoop can take off on the blog circuit when picked up by the right site. it seems we have a fan at core77, which we are flattered by (what…
BRRR [oil lamp*nytimes] oh my god. hell has OFFICIALLY FROZEN OVER. i actually like something from marianne rohrlich’s column. wow. this is a first. wow. i think this is so painfully cool. good job, marianne. man, i can’t believe i just wrote that. more info at: adrien linford, 927 madison avenue (212) 628-4500
if you’re like me, you’ll take any chance given to act like a child. in a good way, that is. addject makes these crazy adult bouncing balls that i think are the perfect way to inject a little fun back in your boring corporate life. they also make a cool clock that i’m pretty sure…
