Something has to be said for quality

Friday, August 31st, 2007

All to often today we come across CHEAP products which are (no surprise here) LOW QUALITY.
It seems that there is such a huge demand for cheap, low quality goods that it’s becoming almost impossible to find products of quality and value. The biggest problem with this is that those rare few that do focus on […]

T1 Lamp by Flos

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I just thought this one had to be shown in a LARGE format to give the proper impact.
Designed by sculptor Sebastian Wrong for Flos, the T1 lamp is a sleek and sexy expression of modern minimalism that works. Made of aluminum and finished in high gloss, the T1 is certainly an attention grabber.

If you use a lot of ice, or want to start using a lot of ice then this is the perfect small appliance for you. No […]

George Nelson Platform Bench

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Another of my all time favorite pieces… the George Nelson Platform Bench. This gorgeous piece of furniture is probably one of the most practical and versatile pieces of mid century modern furniture you can buy.
Made of Maple (one of my favorite floor woods by the way) this bench is strong, light weight (considering it’s made […]

George Nelson Ball Pendant

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

George nelson is definitely one of my favorite designers, from furniture to clocks to lights, his work is truly inspiring and like Charles and Ray Eames; iconic.
