Hanging Chair

A friend of mine sent this to me because she knows my affinity for coat racks... I have to say, I love this design. I probably wouldn't want more than one, but I think this folding hanging chair would be a fantastic valet. I know that we could certainly use one. It would be great for preparing your clothes for the next day and perfect for small spaces where you could hang up the valet when done.

And the plywood edges... well, that just looks cool!

PSLab Beruit

A great wine bar with lighting by PSLab Beirut.

PSLab Beirut designed site specific lighting designs. These ones are great... a play on both a standard chandelier and the iconic cylinder of the wine bottle. The fixtures really add to the space, rather than detracting from it, helping to provide the barrel vaulted space with a more intimate feeling.

Check out their website. There are a lot of fun lighting fixtures... and the website itself it a lot of fun to peruse. There are great images of their sketchbooks - some with animated flipping pages!

Freya's Golden Cabin

This project somehow manages to be quite lovely, while still bordering on kitsch. The simple materials and form keep you from being overwhelmed by the story and cut-out tree imagery. I have to admit... the more I look at the project, the more it grows on me. Freya's cabin, designed by Studio Weave takes advantage of new technologies to giving new form to a fairy-tale typology. Wouldn't it be great to see this cabin in a new updated version of the Brothers Grimm?

Comfortable Concrete?

I freaking love this concrete sofa by Grey Concrete.

The Lighting is Everything

The light fixtures in this space really make it.... without them, it would just be a big (and overly tall) room. Instead, the fixtures bring the space into a more intimate and human scale.

I'm loving them...
