i held off on entering jon in the diy contest- i thought he would be a bit of a ringer, in the sense that he’s already an architect and clearly has an eye for design in a professional sense. that said, it doesn’t make his work any less amazing. i love jon’s work the way…
sara from the small object makes the cutest stuff that i couldn’t bear to leave out. i’m in love with her cute cards that apologize for being a “stinker”. oh, and that great yellow ribbon heart pillow. too cute. sara has a whole little cottage industry going so check her out and support a wonderful…
i’ve had these sittin in my “to post” folder forever- no idea why i waited until now. whoops. i’ve always been into rock posters so these were no exception. aesthetic apparatus designs posters for a whole slew of artists- i especially love these from rjd2 and christian marclay shows. very cool. check out more aesthetic…
well, the results are in, the votes have been tallied and your d*s diy contest winners are posted below. i can’t stress how much i enjoyed this competition- i want to thank all of you who participated, from the very bottom of my heart. you overwhelmingly confirmed my suspicions that there was a well of…
just when i think i’m about to die of a)boredom b)the winter doldrums and c)suffering from a crappy week, lite brite neon comes along to cheer me up with their bright new additions to the lighting world. not content to rest on their neon laurels (check their neon chandies from last year), matt dilling and…
hiveminddesign is a brooklyn based design collective that i’ve been dying to post about for some time. their website was in constant construction and it’s finally up with some pictures of their new work. hooray! these guys are amazingly talented and i was blown away when i saw them at last year’s brooklyn designs show….
i’m in love with this floor tiling system. well, i’m assuming it’s a floor tiling system. i’m waiting to hear back from vivid about it, as there’s very little info on the website. i don’t normally post things when i’m still waiting on info but, you guy know me, i’m horribly impatient and wanted to…
elseware is a brooklyn based industrial design collective that makes one heck of a cool tiling system. if you’re like me and positively loathe those weird suction cup things that you have to use to stick anything to a tile bathroom, you’ll get why this is so great. janet villano designed a really cool tiling…
thanks to ryan kundrat for always introducing me to cool new design things. ryan pointed out that if i like john pomp, i’ll probably like orbix hot glass. and well, ryan you were right. not only to i love the shapes they design, but i love the color range as well. with offerings in both…
john pomp is a fantastic glass designer based in my home turf of williamsburg, brooklyn. he’s no stranger to great press, so i’m sure some of you may have seen his work before. but i figured i’d mention him anyway, because i love his work. pomp was trained in venetian glass techniques and his skills…
i saw this piece at firstop last year and took a picture thinking, man, i need to talk about this on the site! and the somehow i forgot. whoops. richard goehl is a williamsburg based risd grad who runs a small studio in my neighborhood. goehl‘s work strives to “bring out the beauty and elegance…
i love this “rebarred” table and chair set from nydesignroom. they were shown at firstop 2003 in williamsburg, but i guess i missed them. available in a limited quantity, rebarred is a beautiful example of how amazing rebars and cast resin can look together. i wish i could afford them. they would look so sick…
wouldn’t it be cool if you could just place your lights wherever you wanted on your wall like a sticker? well, now you can. dutch designer chris kabel designed these “sticky lights” for driade in 2003. i just found them and think that they serve an interesting purpose, although i’m not so keen on the…
inspired by jay’s win last night on project runway (hooooraay!) i decided to feature some gorgeous textiles by dutch designer claudy jognstra. she’s also part of the vivid crew i mentioned yesterday. her work is breathtakingly beautiful and certainly deserves some recognition. click here for more info on claudy and the whole vivid crew. editor’s…
do you ever have one of those days where everything just goes right? well, last wednesday i had one of those days. john from velocity art and design (fabulous seattle home store) emailed me with this scoop about their esque collection (sorry it took me so long to post it). it hit me like a…
i have a mild obsession with all things bunny related. something unbearably cute about it. although i don’t have a single bunny item in my house. go figure. these animal “decals” (i think they can be used as rugs too) are from dutch designer ed annink- he’s part of the vivid team and you can…
i found these guys through zach klein’s blog and am utterly impressed with their work. founded by three college freshman (patrick, jesse and bill), stuffed robot is the perfect example of what can be done with the right combination of talent and initiative. a while back when jesse gave bill one of these robots as…
wonderful d*s reader, sally passed these gorgeous pillows from virgin threads on to me- and i love them. sally noticed my recent bird fetish and thought scottish designer clare nicolson’s work would be up my alley. and boy is it. these pillows are fantastic. click here for more of clare’s work. i’ll have more info…
how great is this wallpaper magazine cover? i love it. just thought i’d share.
ugh this post was bumming me out so i decided to move it here so people can comment there if they want to keep going. i think you guys are right- talking about money and asking for it is depressing. i hate talking about money anyway. so yeah, enough of that. i like my site…
