Toys, Toys Galore

Posted in Art, Inspirational, Photography, tagged , on March 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Ryan McElhinney‘s individually crafted Toy Lamp has made the rounds – as has his Toy Tree (commissioned for Sketch.)  They are clever and well executed, but am just realizing how they remind me of photographer Phillip Toledano‘s incredible ‘Hope & Fear‘ series. Are there any more toy themes out there?  Is it a Jeff Koons [...]

David Alhadeff’s Pink Pad

Posted in Inspirational, Interiors, tagged on March 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Design*Sponge have a fantastic ‘sneak peek’ of David Alhadeff’s apartment in Brooklyn.  This is back in my old hood – I frequented David’s shop The Future Perfect on a pretty regular basis when I lived just down the road.  It’s really a great shop, and definitely worth a stop when in Williamsburg. I love the [...]

Don’t know how I missed this – but Ryan Berkley has two new illustrations in honour of March (a lion and a lamb – twice with that theme!) available from his etsy shop.  I am really into these prints – they are cute and creepy at the same time. I’ve included a few of Ryan’s [...]

Rirkrit Tiravanija’s Thai Retreat

Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, Interiors, tagged , on March 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »

Artist Rirkrit Tiravanija‘s retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand is pretty much the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living.  Designed by young Thai architect, Aroon Puritat (in cooperation with Tiravanija) – the house was conceived with a very loose brief.  One of the only parameters was to retain the trees on the property, which gives the house a [...]

Tom Dixon’s Utility

Posted in Furniture, tagged on March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Tom Dixon will be presenting a collection of utilitarian furniture at the Milan Design Week next month.  Are these a reflection of the current economy?  Is utilitarianism the newest trend?  Their simplicity is refreshing, but wasn’t utilitarianism already a trend in the 90′s (all those cargo pants and (ugly) Prada trainers)?!  Maybe it’s just cyclical.

Love this image of Alber Elbaz by Tim Walker from the New Yorker.  Funnily enough – it really captures his personality.  The profile portrays him as incredibly talented, creative and driven – but also riddled with anxiety and insecurity (dare I say a European Woody Allen?) Overall a great piece – especially the juicy bits [...]
