EXPLORE

In order to keep all my readers up to date with what I'm doing in the world of design, I will be featuring much more of my own work, material explorations, and all the ridiculous things I've been up to. I have so many fun projects in the works, both solo and with this chica, so please stay tuned for lots of goodies from here on out.

Raw Cotton Manipulations :: Locally sourced cotton fiber, mixed media...this is just the beginning.

FLASH BACK

Vernon Panton :: Visiona

Call me crazy, but I am totally digging Vernon Panton's Visiona. His take on the psychedelic leaves much to the imagination, and the story of these spaces is pretty cool too. Panton, a designer who peaked during the 1960s and 70s was commissioned on two separate occasions by the chemical company Bayer to completely transform a boat into a temporary showroom during the Cologne furniture festival. The result was something truly imaginative!

MILKY WAVE

Milky Wave :: Aidia Architectural Studio

Milky Wave is a part of a larger project by Aidia Architectural Studio where they attempt to "re-puzzle the urban scale through the re-presentation of its smaller components". This installation, comprised of thousands of recycled glass yogurt jars native to the city of Beijing, is a wonderful example of re-use in the most unexpected and beautiful way. (Originally for Beijing Design Week)

HEAVENLY FRAMING

Archipelago House :: Tham & Videgard Arkitekter

After a long and stressful week, I thought we all deserved a little weekend getaway. This plan generated, site specific home in Stockholm by Tham & Videgard Arkitekter embraces its surroundings and landscape. Positioned between two mountain rocks, this home is simultaneously oriented toward the sun in the South and the sea in the West. Large sliding glass panels allow the occupant to seamlessly move from space to space while gracefully framing the breath-taking surroundings.

From the architect:
A multiplicity of readings. As a result of the large glass panes and the prevailing conditions of light, reflections and mirror-like effects, a quality is created where nature, space and horizon all interact together.

DESIGN SPOTLIGHT : NENDO

NENDO

Today I thought we would hang out with Tokyo based design firm, NENDO. Founded by designer Oki Sato, NENDO often utilizes repetitive elements to transform normal spaces into awe-evoking experiences.  NENDO frequently references Sato's architectural training to create dramatic transformations of space with light, texture, and form often with a hint of whimpsy.

NENDO designs an installation to commemorate 70 years of hat design by Akio Hirata

CASA KIMBALL BY RANGR STUDIO

Casa Kimball :: Rangr Studio

It's not often that I have nothing to say, especially when it comes to architecture, interiors, design, art, graphics, photography...you get the point.  But today, I'll let the images speak for themselves (well mostly!).  Casa Kimball by Rangr Studio is a vacation paradise on the beautiful shore of the Dominican Republic.  With eight suites, multiple pools, breathtaking views, and a one of a kind facade design, not to mention loads and loads of glazing... this is a perfect place to clear your mind for a busy week ahead!  Deep breathes today...stay inspired!

SIMLE LIVING BY SUB ESTUDIO

Fidalga 727 :: Sub Estudio

Here's to a little mid-week dreaming brought to you by Brazilian based firm, Sub Estudio.  The design for Fidalga 727 reminds us of that no-frills design can still be elegant, innovative, and intriguing while leaving room for the important stuff-- the living part.  Sub Estudio's excellent space planning and utilization of sliding panels and pivoting elements such as the television in the center of the living space allow this loft to transform from an intimate living space to hub for entertaining...as well as an office with a peeping tom's view of the party below.  Enjoy some simplicity today!




These panels can be progressively opened to allow for a greater level of privacy control!

Seriously in love with the materiality of these panels.
