Alice in Wonderland
German design studio jjoo who collaborated with door manufacturer holitsch has designed Minjjoo a children’s door that is inserted into a standard sized interior door. This allows children to be able to access rooms without the aid of an adult. The door is also finished with a white chalkboard coating which allows the pint sized kid […]
UP THERE
I’m kinda a gluten for punishment or so I’ve been told. Regardless, I have a soft spot for all things process oriented, things done by hand, things that have history and things that take time. UP THERE from Jon on Vimeo is a fascinating documentary of some of the boys and men left who still make time consuming […]
Skateboarding
This is for the one I love. Really amazing video called Skateboardanimation from Tilles Singer on Vimeo. Looks simple, but I don’t even want to think how long it took to put this little piece together.
Tapeography
Type out of tapes. Cassette tapes. Classics made modern. Love it. Tapeography was designed by Ersinhan Ersin, a Turkish designer.
What Remains
Sometimes when something is taken away and we learn to edit, we see a whole new side of beauty. We’re so inundated with an accumulation of excess today, that it’s refreshing to see things stripped down, bare to the bones. Laurie Frankel’s photographs capture these moments in time and freezes them as visual memories to […]
Danse Dance
Monday. Who really wants to go into work? Although if you have to, why not go in with a fresh perspective. In DanseDance, from Julien Vallée and Nicolas Burrows, the artists look at the everyday objects around us and help us see the extraordinary from the ordinary. The video shows the process. To go to their […]
Natural Gas – the Softest of Warmth
I came across this charming video via Ghostly Ferns’ blog and couldn’t help posting this Natural Gas stop motion commercial produced by Belgium based, LovoFilms and directed by Olivier Babinet. The commercial itself is quirky and really sets the tone for Natural Gas, but I really love the behind the scene film of the making of […]
Sang
Breathtaking. Sang An‘s photographs of food, interiors, and still life photography are lush, poetic, and exquisite. With the proliferation of digital photography among the masses, professional photographers may be wary of the demise of their business. However, photographers such as Sang An remind you that one can never replace the eye and skill of an […]
I wanna be Here x’s 10
A couple years after the fact, it was really nice coming across this short video on Charlie Rose about one of my husband’s friends, Andrew Kuo. Unfortunately, we were not able to see the show In NYC, but we are very fortunate to have the luxury of living with a number of Andrew’s remarkable prints and artist […]
Obsessive Consumption
Sourcing inspiration from the seemingly banality of everyday spending, Kate Bingaman-Burt created Obsessive Consumption, an edited compilation of hand drawing and text about the objects she bought over the course of 3 years. For our consumer driven society, this book seems to be a literal visual eye candy of how an individual consumes and finds […]
Building a Palace
Somedays I just want to build a boat and sail off to my very own island. Since this is not in my near future, I’ll settle for Scandinavian artist Peter Callesen’s beautifully crafted art out of paper. His stunning installations and works from paper are delicate, ephemeral, and poetic.
Paper Pendants
The beautiful large white paper pendants by Claire Norcross for Habitat contrasting with the raw wood interior is perfection. Photo is from Milk Deco via Interior Divine.
Spring Fever
I’ve been dreaming of succulents all winter. When I came across these beautiful photos by Elly Yap posted on All the Mountains, Spring Fever set in.
