Harry Allen's Brush Vase (silver or white)

2 people recommended this item

Description

Designer Harry Allen’s Brush Vase in White brings back the raw excitement of a blank canvas that I often felt as a child in art class. Of course, that was before I realized that I’m terrible at painting. Even if you are a Picasso of sorts, this vase allows you to put down your brushes and take time to assemble the roses. Your guests will inquire about your eye for design as well as art.

Harry Allen’s Reality Series celebrates a tradition of found art by immortalizing objects that typically pass unnoticed. He dips objects like Rollerskates, nuts, bananas, (even his own hand!), in resin to create a mold. The result becomes art that wins the approval of Marcel Duchamp appreciators. The Brush Vase in White as well as the Bestow Vase/Candle Holder recently featured in NY Times Home and Garden, are both part of this curious collection. For more work by Harry Allen, please go here.

Gus Design Group Thompson Chairs - Set of Two

First to recommend

Description

I am kicking myself now that I see the Gus Design Group Thompson Chairs in walnut. I can’t tell you how long I was on a hunt for the perfect white chairs. For months and months I debated over one chair and the next. I loved the Gus Design Group Thompson Chairs in white and natural but just wasn’t sold on the color of the wood. Now, after having purchased 10 vintage modern chairs off Ebay which I am going to have to strip the material, sand and stain (aka a major project), the Gus Design Group Thompson Chairs in walnut have made it to DP. Aye carumba! I love the contrast of the white and walnut and the shape looks so simple yet sophisticated. Ho hum. Maybe in my next life. (via Design Public)

upper playground Lowrider Rainbow Bag

First to recommend

Description

If there had to be one tiger masked character riding a bike with a rainbow tail graphic following behind, it would have to be a Sam Flores design from upper playground. His Lowrider Rainbow Bag has to be one of my favorite Sam Flores pieces. The color scheme with the olive, yellow, mustard and green couldn’t have been picked any better. Retro yet modern.

Thomas Paul Lighting Dexter Pendant Lamp - Damask

First to recommend

Description

Whoa, Thomas Paul. I can’t keep up with all the new lighting options! From sconces to pendants to floor lamps to table lamps, to new patterns to the color options. I feel overwhelmed but extremely excited all at once. I am a big fan of layered pendant lamps so his Dexter Pendant Lamp does a number for me. As with all of his pieces, I have to simmer down take a deep breath. Thomas Paul is such a master of color! (via Design Public)

Pkolino Book Buggee

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Popsicle stick inspired legs on chairs, a toddler bed that converts to a chair, a “Book Buggee“…yes, the folks at Pkolino certainly know how to make efficient, practical, and kid friendly modern tot furniture. After spending many days attached to my three year old niece (we are good buddies) I have come to appreciate the height of a toddler and the furniture that fits their needs (while also looking good and saving space!). Since I read far too many stories over the past 10 days I think the most appropriate gift I can give my little gal pal is the book buggee. What a treasure! (via Design Public)

Pablo Link Task Lamp

First to recommend

Description

True design work and attention to detail is seen in Pablo’s Link Task Lamp designed by Peter Stathis. Consideration has been placed on the wiring, or lack there of as the conductive aluminum skin efficiently delivers power without any internal wiring. All of the component parts have been minimalized (all are purposed for more than one function) so only what is essential is remaining. The array of LED bulbs produces a significant amount of light while also using 97% less energy than regular comparable incandescent light bulbs commonly used in task lamps. Not to mention it looks cool! This will NOT be one of those lamps that is kicked to the curb. (via Design Public)

Alexander Girard PLYprint - Madonna

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

There is no doubt that Alexander Girard graphics are iconic. For the first time since 1972, several of his prints are now available as wall art. Yes, you heard me right. The PLYprint® panels are printed using water-based inks on Columbia Forest Products US made, formaldehyde-free plywood panels. What a fabulous gift for Alexander Girard admirers, or art collectors, or simply those who appreciate the mix between modern materials and and folk art forms to create accessible art.

Your cat may climb into the carpet covered kitty condo, but deep down he's aching for a chance to unleash his inner style maven. Give him (and you) some relief and some eye candy.
