Installations at the V&A, London Design Festival 2012

The V&A was bursting at the seams with installations for London Design Festival 2012. Here are three of the best – nendo’s Mimicry Chairs, Bench Years from Established & Sons and Ice Angel by Dominic Harris. nendo’s Mimicry chairs are ghost-like installations throughout the museum that reflect their surroundings. The top image shows a single chair hanging in the main entrance - a reference to the massive Dale Chihuly chandelier hanging in the next space. Elsewhere in the museum chairs “walk” down stairs or follow the lift traveling up and down between floors.

Philippe Starck and Axor Launch New Faucet Collection

I headed to Berlin last week to attend the launch of the Axor Starck Organic bathroom collection, which is a collaboration between design genius Philippe Starck and the German company Hansgrohe’s luxury brand, Axor . The collection combines a sleek, organic faucet form with a revolutionary way of saving water. Philippe Grohe discussing Axor’s history with designers The Axor/Starck collaboration began 20 years ago and each design has become iconic. This latest design was three years in the making and you can easily see why. While Starck focused on the design, Philippe Grohe, head of the Axor brand, was behind the technology to make it work

Rusty Iron Furniture: The Network Collection by Studio9

I would never have thought if you said the words “rusty iron furniture” that I would ever like it. However, there is something appealing about these pieces from Israeli designer Yifat Levin of Studio9 . I don’t know if it’s the rawness of the metal or the possibility of getting dirty by touching it I like best… To keep you from getting dirty, Levin coats the pieces with clear lacquer, but you might not know that from first glance so there is an interesting dialogue that comes into play… The pieces also have plastic spacers on the bottom to prevent scratching. I’m pretty sure you will either love this or hate this… which is it

A DIY for the Soul

Whenever I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed with work or life in general, I find that something that boosts my creativity usually helps get me back on track. Yesterday, I was having one of these days and coincidentally stumbled upon this easy earring DIY.

Even though it’s just putting your favorite beads on a hoop, it’s often the simplest things that can satisfy the soul and make you feel like yourself again. I used to make a similar, smaller version of these as wine charms and gave them as small gifts. You could do the same with these earrings, or just use them to pair with whatever outfit you’re wearing that day!

What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed? Do you ever find that a quick DIY brings you back to life?
