amenity: twig duvet

Updated Apr 4, 2006

1st to recommend

11 people recommended this item

Description

How might a twig provide the comfort of a shade tree? Perhaps if it were photographically enlarged enough to sprawl across a king-size duvet cover. This ploy, used by Amenity Home Collection, works with dandelions and wild roses too. (via Elements of Living)

Greystone Home Collection: Osaka Screen

Updated Apr 4, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The bold geometry of this wood-and-mirror screen was adapted from a small pattern on a centuries-old kimono. The wide, ebonized koto wood retains the texture of the wood grain; mirror insets are anti-qued for a moderating influence. The reverse side is finished but plain wood upon wood, and the hardware is bright nickel. (via Elements of Living)

Jocelyn Warner: Leaf Metallic Wallpaper

Updated Apr 4, 2006

1st to recommend

16 people recommended this item

Description

The secret to the alluring, velvet-like surface of Jocelyn Warner’s gilded wallpapers is a flatbed scanner and the matte sealant the London-based designer skims atop the metal leaf. Laid out on this sumptuous field and printed in gray, garden-variety leaves have the detailed authority of an X-ray and scribbles leap from the page. Available in seven new colorways, including monochromatic matte/gloss combinations. (via Elements of Living)

Aitali: Louis Chair

Updated Apr 4, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

An arresting combination of sense and nonsense that would sit well at conferences and weddings alike, the Louis straight-back chair from the Italian company Aitali features an image of a Louis XVI period chair printed on Altuglass, a transparent plastic purer than plexiglass. Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, a computer generated graphic of the exploded parts of a silk damask side chair have been inkjet-printed on the backside and undersides of the chair. Reverse printing, along with UV-safe inks, also protects the image from scratches and sun damage.
Other models range widely in imagery, including a slatted lawn chairs (the acrylic version is not collapsible), bar codes, a child’s drawings and even fur. Custom designs are available. The company recently re-interpreted Salvador Dali’s <i>Hallucinogenic Toreador</i> in a 300-piece limited edition for the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. (via Elements of Living)
