We love these Peekaboo Candle Holders by J Schatz. They come in seven bright colors including red hot, sun yellow and orange peel. Simply place a tea candle inside and adjust the hanging height to suite your décor.
We found this lingerie style lighting to be pure romance. Designed by Josephine Repetto of Manjaca as an allusion to her 5th wedding anniversary, the 5ans is shaped like an engagement ring (but with a lacey shade instead of a diamond). The lace is also available in black or gray at Manjaca.com
The perfect seat for your favorite princess. The Tendo Mushroom Stool was designed in 1961 and received the first award at the design competition of Tendo Mokko Co. Ltd. It wasn’t until 2003 however, that this gem was produced for the market.
Made from 100% mahogany and standing at 17.9″ Diam x 15.16″ H, this stool also makes a nice table when topped with a piece of glass. You can find them at Tortoiselife.com.
We are so in like with this Perillo lounge chair by german designer Martin Ballendat. Apparently we werent the only ones, as it took the people choice award at the Orgatec trade show in October. This clean and simple design uses one seamless pieces of plastic for the back rest and is available au natural or with a hardwood finish.
We were recently introduced to this architecture book written by Matthew Frederick. It’s a collection of architecture principles and thoughts broken up into 101 digestible pieces. Think of it as an architect’s cheat sheet. You can pick the book up here
All too often we see modern architecture presented as an unattainable luxury. This book shows projects with modest budgets of $120 or even $51 per square foot. In doing so it fills a gap left by most architecture books. Don’t be suprised if you end up building one in the woods and take up writing design manifestos. You can pick it up here
If population growth continues its pace we’re gonna have to get creative with housing. On that note, the Single Hauz by Front Architects breaks convention. Using a single pillar for support, it can be put virtually anywhere.
We wish all retailers had this kind of imagination. Clark Shoes commissioned London based studio ROSO to install this beautiful piece in the courtyard of their corporate headquarters.
The concept is an elaboration of nature- light is only seen when reflected. A light beam coming through a window is only visible because light is reflected in the millions of dust particles floating in the air.
British artist Richard Galpin has long created captivating pieces through a meticulous and seemingly painstaking process. With surgical precision Galpin scores then removes sections of a large scale image leaving behind an entirely different work. Recently he released Surface to Surface, a collection of select works spanning his career.
CHANEL has decided to make the legendary quilted bag the focus of an event on an international scale: MOBILE ART. This traveling unit will be presented in Asia, the United States and Europe. Inside this U.F.O. looking structure, created by the architect Zaha Hadid, 20 international contemporary artists will exhibit work inspired by the elements that give the emblematic quilted bag from CHANEL its identity.
