Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake
Bohemian Modern is a sublime book, artfully bridging the gap between pretty to look at but dust-covered coffeetable paperweights and too basic utilitarian primers. Bestor does an excellent job of chronicling life in a particular time and place but also drawing parallels that can be applied universally by anyone seeking vintage-meets-this moment balance.

A sensation of ice and light, of heat and chill. Harri Koskinen plays with contrasts and the archetypes of modern society in his Block Lamp, which became a design classic as soon as it was launched in 1996. The Block Lamp has been showered with design awards ever since, including: Excellent Swedish Design in 1998, the Design Plus Award at the Ambiente Trade Fair in Frankfurt, as well as Best New Product at the accent show in New York in 1999. The lamp became part of MoMA’s permanent collection in 2000. Last year Harri received the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize, Scandinavia’s most prominent design award. The chairman of the jury notes that Harri is an internationally renowned designer who, despite his young age, is perhaps Finland’s greatest contemporary designer, and whose design is a perfect combination of tradition and renewal.

From the front part we created a unique and original model of rotating chair. The chair presents a strong internal structure and a hydraulic piston for height regulation. It is a really comfortable and ergonomic chair leather upholstered. The traditional character of the piece combined with modern lines makes it a unique product and a sample of the most Avant-garde Art design. The piece also means an extra emotional charge for all Vespa lovers.

How about "The West owns Art", which is a sad reminder of privilege, exclusion and narrow mindedness of the art world. Not a bad start, but hardly thorough. Hmmmm, maybe I should make my own.

Finally, the long-awaited missing link between Fido and the stereo. Functional kitsch at its best, the Woofer (pun intended) speaker system has custom engineered electronic filters for heightened sound quality, and pays visual (if headless) homage to its time-honored RCA canine inspiration.

Ultra stylish coatrack by schindlersalmeron. Bar code as a statement on our consumerist habits, while its slick metallic lines and aluminum surface give a nice complement to wooden coat hangers.

I love these Fatboy Beanbag chairs almost more than my kids do! They're great for all ages! My husband and kids and I love using them to sit on to read books, watch tv or a movie, and hang out. My kids also love to jump on them... I love these Fatboy Beanbag chairs almost more than my kids do! They're great for all ages!
