Black Gold Entertaining Set

First to recommend

Description

During her three months work period at the European Ceramics Work Centre ‘modular porcelain’ was Ineke Hans’ major project on the theme of reproduction.

In the ceramic industry, it’s usual to ‘glue’ an ear to a cup with slip clay before firing. Starting from this reality she thought out a modular system, reducing the amount of moulds used, for making virtually anything you like. Producing only five shapes - three sizes of tubes, a corner and a ‘plunger’ – this means that tulip vases, coffee pots, five armed candleholders and so on can be ‘glued’. A kind of ceramic LEGO results, connected by trimming. All the shapes are tuned so that they can be used in different ways: a narrow tube has an inside diameter appropriate for candles and outside diameter to be used for grips.

This modular project is cast in black porcelain. The black pigment weakens the already ‘deformation-sensitive’ porcelain, making this project even more amazing. The porcelain, being black however, intensifies the graphic, or pictogram, nature of the objects.

Pling Collection - ZipZip

First to recommend

Description

***BE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL PHOTOS -- TAKE A CLOSER LOOK***

ZipZip are upholstered cushions, which can be connected with zips on all four sides. Countless possibilities to build nearly every situation of sitting or laying down comfortably are the result.

How cool is that? Endless possibilities. Great for small space living because they are so multifunctional.

Plushkill Forest Fall Buck

First to recommend

Description

Avant-garde faux animal trophy makes a PETA-friendly statement in your home.

This big buck was shot while reading under an old oak tree. In the fall bucks are more studious and slow moving but their quiet demeanor makes them super tricky to sneak up on.

Another master creation from toy inventor Jessica Knapp, the Plushkill Forest Fall Buck is made of felt. This lucky creature has been stuffed and mounted on foam core covered in a faux wood grain.

Description

A mod movie star will really need a round bed, of course. And perhaps a mirror on the ceiling -- or better yet, a completely mirrored bedroom!
