We have a clue about Furniture

German designer and recent grad Christian Kayser ‘s work focuses on the idea of synergy, using gravity and weight to determine the final shapes. The stool, made of a wooden frame connected by flexible steel batons, changes shape when the user sits on it, creating a symbiotic relationship between the user and the object. Similar to the stool, the weight of this table also puts pressure on its legs, which are help together by a wire.

Nendo has a solo exhibition going on through the end of August at the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute that features two collections: Thin Black Lines and Dancing Squares. Thin Black Lines s a collection of furniture formed from “Still Black,” whose installation looks Dancing Squares is a collection based on the concept of “Active White,” which has been installed onto a room-sized sketch affixed to walls and floor with a fish-eye lens-like effect as though viewers are seeing it through a tiny water drop.

Happy Friday!

If you’re on the East Coast, are you prepping for Hurricane Irene? As I’m located in Northern New Jersey, I’m planing on wearing those fabulous glittered pumps instead of a chronic bitchface this weekend!

I’d also like to whip up a batch of these cereal bars to snack on if the power gets out.

Then I’ll dream about these lovely lamps in my house and throwing a party with fun flotation decor.

What are your plans for the weekend?

White distilled vinegar is a great cleaning product for many reasons: it can be used for many cleaning jobs, it kills bacteria, its not as harsh as other chemicals, it’s eco-friendly and its cost efficient!

We came across this website that lists 1001 uses for cleaning with white distilled vinegar. Here are some of our favorite tips:

• Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.
• Clean the microwave by mixing 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Bring it to a rolling boil inside the microwave. Baked-on food will be loosened, and odors will disappear. Wipe clean.
• To prevent good glassware from getting etched by minerals, wash then spray with full-strength white distilled vinegar. Give the glasses a hot water rinse before letting them dry or drying them with a towel.
• For stained and smelly plastic food containers, wipe them with a cloth dampened with white distilled vinegar.
• Easily clean your mini blinds by wearing pair of white cotton gloves.  Dip gloved fingers into a solution of equal parts white vinegar and warm tap water, and run your fingers across both sides of each blind.
• Renew sponges and dishrags by placing them in just enough water to cover them. Then add 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar. Let them soak overnight.
• To clean a scummy showerhead,pour 1/2 cup baking soda and 1 cup white distilled vinegar into a sandwich bag and tie it around the showerhead. Let this set for an hour after the bubbling has stopped. Remove the bag and then turn on the water.
• Deodorize the toilet bowl by allowing 3 cups white distilled vinegar to sit in it for about a half hour before flushing.
• To make cleaning the grill easier, spray a solution of half water and half white distilled vinegar on the cooking surface.

Do you use white vinegar as a cleaning product in your home?
