loving your style

i have to say i am really into beanbags lately. i love the pattern on this one from muovo, a textiles company run by two young ladies in finland.

pump up the jam

idea international, a japanese company, showed some really cute stuff at icff during new york design week. i especially loved the yu'ento speaker for iPhone and the mini icon clock.

don't stop til you get enough

elodie blanchard presented some new works for her company elasticCo at icff this year. i have blogged about her awesome google pillows before and now she has added hand screened google posters of the top ten google searches of 2009 to her list of products. based out of brooklyn, elasticCo also makes some beautiful custom window coverings. it was a pleasure to meet her and hear her story. check out her etsy shop here.

switch it up

wow. i was definitely taken aback when i learned who the designer of the careem chair for council is. freaking karim rashid. unbelievable. i would have never thought that the man who thinks in pastel, candy colored blobjects could produce something like this. very interesting. i think its great and shows a bit of diversity in the designer. council is a california based design and manufacturing company and has worked with some really big names. i love the work shown this year at icff.

fresh

blu dot, a midwestern company, won best body of work this year at the international contemporary furniture fair. they introduced a sweet new table lamp called rook. you can get it for $199 from the blu dot catalog.

its only a test

i love the child like simplicity of the mozia wall clock by diamantini and domeniconi. the hands look just like popsicle sticks. clock available through the conran shop.
