I’ve got a crush on these metallic tray tables from e15, designed by Philipp Mainzer. I have no idea how much they cost (they are probably exorbitant), but I’m crushing on them nonetheless.

Antonio’s Apartamento Azul

A great spread in Apartmento featuring the home of Antonio Montouto. I like all this blue – it’s a brave move.
Ann Toebbe on 20×200
Posted in Art, tagged 20x200, Ann Toebbe on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Artist Ann Toebbe has two great new paintings on 20×200. (The burning house reminds me of Samantha’s Morton’s house in Synedoche, New York.) They’re disappearing fast – so get in while they’re still available! I’m also loving this ‘Red Plastic Plates’ piece on her website:
The Tolo House of Stairs
Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, tagged Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira, Casa Tolo, Fernando Guerra on January 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This has been blogged about in the past – but I can’t resist sharing the incredibly unique Casa Tolo in Portugal, designed by Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira (and not his father, architect Alvaro Siza Vieira.) Building on the ”houses of stairs’ genre (like Casa Malaparte), Casa Tolo is built into a steep hillside with the [...]
Dylan Freeth – watch this space!
Posted in Furniture, tagged Dylan Freeth on January 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Dylan Freeth is a London based furniture and product designer – and he is most definitely going places. His pieces are functional yet clever, which makes them feel particulary original. I particularly like his ‘divider tables‘ (designed to look like file dividers), the ‘between coat rack‘ (which not only serves to hang coats but can [...]
Tom Dixon’s Beat
Posted in Lighting, tagged Nest, Tom Dixon on January 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve decided that lighting is one of the hardest things to get right. I searched for ages for pendant lights for various rooms in my house – from the high street to obscure online retailers – but could rarely find anything that sparked my interest. There are, however, some exceptions. One of the best designs [...]
La Quinta El Cerrito
Posted in Inspirational, tagged Giò Ponti, World of Interiors on January 22, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I tore these pages out of World of Interiors a few years ago, but have held on to them because they completely blew me away. Check out this truly inspirational villa in Caracas designed by Italian architect, designer and artist extraordinaire, Giò Ponti. I can’t say enough about the splendour of this house – dubbed [...]
The Peanut Vendor
Posted in Furniture, Shop, tagged The Peanut Vendor on January 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My friend Dan tipped me off to this new ‘mid-century’ furniture store just off Newington Green called The Peanut Vendor. It’s a great little shop and especially well curated – there’s none of the usual junk that you have to deal with at other similar places (I won’t name names.) Also, everything is fairly priced [...]
Well done, Mr. President

I am truly inspired by the new guy. Only now I really wish I had bought one of these posters designed by the graphic design legend, Lance Wyman. Ebay here I come. Gobama!
Bed in a Bag
Posted in Bedding, Furniture on January 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My lovely friend Lee sent this to me – if you’re ever in need of a handy, portable bed – look no further. Some imaginative German folks have invented an inflatable bed that rolls up into a duffel type bag. Take it on your travels. Store it in your cupboard. It even comes with a [...]
