The bagalights from Liqui Design are certainly something. I think this is a great design, although I’d be so afraid the bags would catch fire. http://www.liquidesign.co.uk

Remember the band Linkin Park? Of course you do. How about Mike Shinoda?  I recognize the name and immediately think of the aforementioned band, but there’s another term you should start associating with him- artist.

While many people think they are artists (and shouldn’t!), Shinoda backs it up with work that not only caught my attention but that has even been featured at the Japanese American National Museum.  His 2008 show Glorious Excess (Lives) earned him plenty of recognition and his new one Glorious Excess (Dies) takes that to a whole other level – this time really seeming to get the attention he deserves.  His work addresses our society’s obsession with celebrity (which is something that definitely needs to be addressed in my opinion) and although extreme I find it very interesting.

You can buy his art from his website as a book or as printed on a collection of skate decks (shown above). Money from all artwork and merchandise will go to the Michael K. Shinoda Scholarship at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

“Moulding Tradition” will be presented during the upcoming Dutch Design Week at Design Academy Eindhoven. The objects as part of this project have been reimagined based on a clandestine immigration from Africa to Lampedusa Island in Sicily. Created by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, the traditional Sicilian artwork, “teste di moro” have been reworked as “Moor” vases, depicting the faces of anonymous immigrants, to establish their own tradition

Designed as a place to enjoy a coffee break or lunch with coworkers, I see a lot of possibilities for the Flower Table. Of course it can easily handle its intended function, but I also see it working great in crowded bars and restaurants because it is so compact. I’m not sure it’s designed to handle outdoor use, but if it is or could be wouldn’t it also look great on a deck or patio? Plenty of seating, and when not in use it is designed to be (and succeeds) as an interesting visual work.

The Flower Table is the work of Fatih Can Sarioz. Like I do with all of my posts, I read a little bit about this designer to better understand his work.  And though he has an interesting background (as do most) there were two lines from his website that I found really interesting and inspiring and wanted to share with you. The first is that he thinks about “possibilities not objects” and the second that “he knows the design never ends”.   Both food for thought in my opinion.  See more innovative and inspiring work from Fatih here.

When we were setting up our new home, buying the furniture had to be just right because it is something that is going to stay with us for a long time. Since it was a new home with a modern architecture, we wanted something that would complement the contemporary look of the house. We also wanted a platform bed because it is convenient. We wanted to have it also because of the bold and sturdy look it holds.

Bingo when we found this Modern Platform Bed! It came with a black finish done in matte. Understated modernism – as my neighbor loves to call it. We placed it against our glass French windows, which open into our yard. The sunlight illuminates the furniture and makes it look very attractive. Still, it gives the room a cool soothing look. It is not only a great design, but also very practical. The nightstands came with a drawer each and an open storage shelf under it. There is plenty of storage space in the dresser with many drawers. We no longer have a cluttered dresser or for that matter, a cluttered room. Indeed, it does offer some unique solutions for storage. The twin mirrors for the dresser are not only a distinctive feature of the set, but also very handy. We no longer have squabbles for mirror space when getting ready for work every morning, because we have our own mirror space!  In addition, the material used in this set is very user friendly. Even with kids, ours has proved to be scratch resistant, partly, I think, because of the matte finish.

It is a robust furniture set, which we believe is going to last for a lifetime. We are happy with this investment. It looks great in our room. We sleep sound in this perfection every night.
