Seeing that we're all usually up for saving some money, you might be interested to know that DWR is having their annual sale on upholstery and rugs. A quick peruse through their offerings and I kept getting caught on the Pelican Chair (1940). Curves and comfort are words that spring to mind, and of course, you just can't go wrong with a piece designed by the architect and designer Finn Juhl. ...Read more

I knew I had seen this rug somewhere before, or that at least it was very similar to Suki Cheema's Black Marble Pillow (for which I'm still searching for an online retailer), and lo and behold, it actually is a Suki Cheema rug. I don't quite get why some retailers choose not to list the name of the designer/manufacturer of the products they sell... it's certainly their prerogative but ...Read more

If you're looking for a clock that's equally vintage, modern, and pure geekery, look no further than the Chronotronix V400 Nixie Clock. Nixie tubes are electronic tubes that contain bent cathodes that glow, kind of like neon. They were used for displaying all kinds of information in electronic equipment but have long been replaced by the modern LCD display, but that didn't stop the folks at NixieClock from creating this ...Read more

What do we have here? Felt, stainless steel, and accordion-like sides... hmm. Inspired by tailored attire, the sides of this chair are threaded together with rope, presumably allowing for some adjustment. The idea of felt being transformed from flat 2D surface to a 3D form is nothing new, yet this chair utilizes elements of fashion to make an impressively stitched and very 'this season' seating option. by MOWO Studio Polyester ...Read more

Well, if you've had little luck finding a vintage bus sign with that specific city/stop, you might consider a custom one from TransitDesign. Sure, part of the charm of a bus scroll is the fact that it was at one time actually used, but seeing as they can get a little pricey and hard to find, maybe it's worth bending the rules a little bit. Pictured: Resort Towns of ...Read more

The Optical Mixer (Optischer Farbmischer) can demonstrate aspects of color theory when spinning the top with one of the seven interchangeable discs. So, you can buy it for color teaching purposes or buy it just for fun (which is what I'm tempted to do). Seven interchangeable cardboard discs included with info describing the phenomenon. Designed by Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack....Read more

Just saw this impressive sliding door/wall over on Dwell. The Belgian architects 51N4E choose 5mm-thick white marble mounted on a 20mm honeycomb structure for the sliding door that separates the kitchen and adjacent storage space. The wall appears either opaque or translucent depending on time of day and amount of light. More pictures below. (view from storage space looking into kitchen) To see full article at Dwell: Flemish ...Read more

Man-oh-man, here's one killer task light. Amanda Levete showcases the new technology of OLED lighting in a twisting, flat ribbon of steel, with only the cord to offset the powder coated (or polished) surface. What's so special about OLED lighting, you might wonder. Apparently it's a super-thin, lightweight panel that casts an even glow without glare, flickering or excessive heat. Impressive, yes, but for now let's just admire the beauty ...Read more
