i am literally running to a car now to go to the airport but i wanted to thank tara for passing this on to me (thanks, tara!). this is too cute and i’m a sugar freak so well, that’s that. it’s pretty self-explanatory, but too cute not to post before i go. ps: love you,…
i’m heading home to virginia today at 5, so i’ll be gone tomorrow, but i was thinking about regional stuff and thought it would be fun to open up this post to suggestions about local design. i’m always on the lookout for great stores (with websites, preferably) in places i’ve never been before. everyone’s got…
the whitney has long been my favorite art museum in manhattan. even with the moma‘s big fancy schmancy re-do and all their “manhattan is modern again” signs, my allegiance belongs to the whitney. their biennial is consistently my favorite show in the city. while the museum of natural history is my all-time favorite musueum in…
it’s no secret that i’m molo‘s biggest fan, and today, i’d like to honor my favorite canadian duo with an excited post about their upcoming icff goods. if you don’t know molo, let me fill you in: molo was formed in 2003 as the global vehicle to manufacture, distribute, and market the award winning product…
i thought it was about time for a non-product post and although this came out a few weeks ago, i wanted to do a brief post on sin city. first, let me preface this by saying that i don’t profess to be a) a film buff b) a comic buff or c) a lighting/tech buff….
these pillows remind me of an old ali fight we watched last night. he beat sonny liston and proceeded to scream to everyone, “i shook up the world! i shook up the world! i’m the greatest!. then he paused and screamed, “i’m pretty!”. that was my favorite part. it relates because i think these pillows,…
that sounds kind of dirty, but really this is a super girly, super proper post. as most people around me know, i’m an anthropologie freak. i literally donate half my paycheck to their well-designed stores every month. but, inspired by the idea of renovating some pieces of my old furniture, i thought i’d check out…
sunglass shaped sunglass trays. i know, it’s a bit unnecessary, but i think it’s hysterical. for those of you who wear them (i don’t, i know, i’m going to destroy my corneas) these might be a funny addition to a hall console table or wherever you throw your goods when you get home. found online…
i love great online resources (because i happen to think product resources are helpful, not culture-destroying…). maxwell silver combines a bunch of great home boutiques into one online home design haven. i’m rather partial to the lacquered boxes and trays, but you can’t go wrong with jill rosenwald’s pottery or bernaudaud votives either. there’s a…
eva lee emailed me yesterday about something unrelated to her own work, but once i saw it, i knew i had to post it. eva makes the most striking black and white illustrations that just blow me away. my favorite is posted above. born and raised in good old nyc, eva currently lives and works…
so everyone and their brother is emailing me to say “OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE HOW SALON BASHED DOMINO?!?!”. and i guess i felt that after the 14th email i should say something. i could go on and on about this for awhile, but i’ll air my response simply: i couldn’t disagree with salon…
i love swigg. they make the cutest, brightest products around. i’m in deep like with this “tsunami” line of pillows that have crazy bright fish on them. they were made before the tsunami tragedy, but 10% of the proceeds will go to unicef to benefit tsunami relief funds. swigg is always good at producing colorful…
…i’ll own nice pieces that i won’t feel ok letting my cats tear up. and these are some i might consider- passed on to me by a lovely d*s reader, khaden tibetan rugs are rich, sensual and beautifully made. they’re a bit more traditional than i’d normally go, but i’d love to have these in…
i’ve mentioned ms. ross before in a post about auto, but i just found her personal site and was blown away by her work for the second time. i knew her designs were beautiful, but i hadn’t seen the gorgeous array of colors her work was available in. and wow, is it gorgeous. auto carries…
chris bettig of the mountain label passed ben‘s site on to me this morning and i love it. ben loiz lives and works in LA as an artist and designer. his clients are a diverse group and his work ranges from print to packaging and identity. but what i love is his album cover work-…
i found ianonne‘s website on the icff exhibitor list and have now added them to my “must see” list. mainly because of their “glow box” and the “red line cabinet” which is made from reclaimed douglas fir floorboards from the philadelphia academy of music- nailmarks and all. i love it. i’ll be sure to let…
maybe it’s the sun outside, maybe it’s the fact that i’m going home to VA on thursday, maybe it’s ac’s new job, but for some reason, i’m just happy today. and i thought, while i was thinking about all the things i’m happy about, why not share my love for my fellow design bloggers? there…
i just wanted to share some of the joy going on at design*sponge today. my wonderful, wonderful ac had his first day at his fantabulous new job today and i just wanted to tell everyone in the world how proud i am of him. he is now a super cool media writer in charge of…
i think mark at sparkability comes up with some of the greatest children’s design around. he just passed this on to me and we commiserated about how it’s not available in the states yet. he’s trying to get it on sparkability in the not so distant future, so i’ll let you know when it’s up,…
ok before i start this post, let me add that i actually did “see saw” this weekend and it was horrible. i blame it on the cold and the easy access to movies on demand. damn you, cold! you make me want to watch horrible movies! anyway, back to the saw at hand. alistair chang,…
