Marni : 100 chairs

Just found another great project for Salone del Mobile Milano 2012. Marni presented a collection of 100 chairs made in Colombia by ex-prisoners. They reinterpreted this common seats and modified woven pattern and created new color schemas. So, if you are a lover of Marni fashion, I think you'll like this as well....

Back on track !

Our family had the superflu for the last 2 weeks, fever, a heavy cold, cough and so on. Now we are back on track! Salone Mobile in Milano started this week, unfortunately I'm not there. I found this supersmart object while browsing the Liveblogs at Milano. Nick Ross, a student from Konstfack in Stockholm, presents this furniture in Milano, a bar with a hood for sharing secrets in crowded places. Genius!

Note Design Studio : Marginal Notes #2

Swedish Note Design Studio went deep into the forest to explore, measure and collect. After a long expedition, they now had plenty to look through back home. “Base Camp”; the simplistic materials and shapes of scientific field expedition tools adapted to stand wear and tear. Just like last year, they ended up with a diverse collection of colours, shapes, materials and expressions; just the way they (we) like it.

Stanislava Pinchuk : Illustrator

It's not a big secret, I'm a food lover but not the chef cook... When I stumbled across the vegetable illustrations from Stanislava Pinchuk aka Miso I couldn't resist to preorder this cookbook Mr Wilkinson's favorite vegetables immediately. Have a look!

 

Pretty Pegs : Hack your furniture

As a furniture designer myself, I think to design furniturelegs is something really difficult. It's similar to shoes, if you wear the perfect dress and crappy shoes, this kills the whole look. The idea of Prettypegs is to create a new way of personalising furniture from brands like IKEA. A set of Prettypegs simply adds colour and character to your furniture. And just like your favorite pair of shoes, they complete the look.

DESIGN IN SWITZERLAND NO.4 : Claudia Silberschmidt

I am still of the opinion that Swiss Interior Designers are often a bit conservative, most of them use 'status symbol' furniture as a save value, no risk with new products or materials. The work of Claudia Silberschmidt, better known as Atelier Zürich, is a big exception. New ideas, fresh and touching elements, a perfect eye for colors... More work pieces on her website here!

Iskos Berlin : Under the Bell

While searching for a new pendant lamp for our dining table I stumbled across this big fat lamp, Under The Bell. Really great, but, what do you think, do we need a loft ceiling height for this lamp? I'm really unsure.... They write: Under the Bell is not just a lmapshade, as it hangs over the table, it creates a room within a room - like a dome encasing a building...

*update: ordered

 

 

Muller van Severen : Products

Clear-cut storage boxes, tables, racks and lamps - While both artists are inspired by the tension between the known and the unknown they create furniture out of sheer necessity and function. Cool!

aaron moran : Excavations
