Sustainable Accessories

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Sustainability is good. It’s especially nice when it’s a consideration for things like personal accessories, home fashions and other semi-disposable items… the type of things that get discarded when they go out of style.
That’s why the Kathy mini wallet from Angela Adams (at Design Public) caught my eye. It’s made of sustainable fabric containing 100% […]

Barcelona Chair

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Buy a Barcelona Chair
This is without a doubt my favorite chair of all time for one simple reason, elegance. An original Barcelona chair is so well proportioned, so refined, such high quality that there simply is no other piece of furniture out there to rival it.
The only down side is that owning one is becoming […]

George Nelson Platform Bench

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 […]

Doane Paper

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Yesterday I got an email from Chad Doane. Chad is a creative guy, I know this because Chad created “Doane Paper” ( http://doanepaper.com/ ). What is Doane Paper you ask?
“A year and a half ago I created Doane Paper a patent pending “swiss army
knife” stationery design that incorporates grid and ruled lines onto a
single sheet.”
