and ever

someday i am going to create a room inspired by my favorite poster of all time.  for like ever by tracy jenkins was featured on the cover domino magazine years ago and i get the same fuzzy feeling every time i see it.  you can get one too for $60.

catch you on the flipside

here is a little advertising from moroso featuring my beautiful backside by design duo doshi levien.  the cozy kitschy seating uses both wool and silk fabrics to create an ironic mix of texture and is available in a variety of sizes and colors.  not often is such emphasis put on the design aesthetic of the backside of a couch and doshi levien manages to give the same attention to detail to the front side creating a very dynamic piece. the designers create a seamless mix of cultural influences in their work, combining nipa doshi's indian inspiration and jonathan levien's european industrial background.  the seating is inspired by a painting of a princess surrounded by pebble shaped cushions in her palace seen here.  love it!

do or die

i almost thought neon was dead.  

thank god for vivienne westwood and brazilian design group neon.  at the spring/summer 2011 fashion show westwood's models were made up with bright eyeshadows and neon presented a collection of head to toe neon pieces.  neon colors are still in full force but with a bit less fluorescence.  pastel neon is the new hotness.

expect the unexpected

how unexpected is this?  a faux rock with bright colored casters.  i love the quirkiness of the "sassi con ruote" stool by marama.
