When Kenneth Schiller, founder of Kontextür , visited Paul Loebach’s studio, he was expecting to talk about bathroom products but noticed models of watering cans on Paul’s desk and thought that a watering can might be a good addition to Kontextür’s new lineup of non-bathroom accessories. Considering Spring is in the air, we feel the same way as Schiller – bring on the watering cans! Inspired by the bold, yet minimal and functionalist aesthetic of Eastern European motorcycles, this watering can will rev the engines of your plants.

Just as it’s a terrible idea to go to the grocery store while hungry, it’s a terrible idea to watch a cooking show while hungry. I actually watched this episode of The Chew on my iPad while on the elliptical and that was an even worse idea – now all I want in life is this chicken pot pie!!
Do you watch The Chew? I don’t watch that often, but if I try to put it on in the background while working. Their recipes look pretty feasible to make and delicious – and they have a fun time on the show. The chicken pot pie for this recipe radar looks a lot easier – and tastier – than a traditional pot pie. You made the filling on the stove top in a skillet, plop some biscuit dough on top and throw the skillet in the over for about 25 minutes so that the biscuit dough cooks through.
This recipe is definitely one to keep on your radar for those days when you’re craving comfort food! Get the full recipe here on The Chew’s website.
What’s your favorite comfort food recipe?

The Sorri Lounge Chair , designed by Gonçalo Campos for WEWOOD , is an inviting chair with curved construction meant to reflect a smile. And how can one not smile looking at that pup sitting in the chair? The Portuguese designer put lots of thought into the details, like the wide seat and back so you have room for not only your bum, but your bag, books, or even a coat to sit by you or to hang on the back.

Matthew Allen, the painter-turned-furniture designer behind Red Hook, Brooklyn-based company Mallen4, uses a distinct process of inlaid colored resin to add painting sensibilities to modern furniture. A graduate of Pratt Institute, Matthew struggled to find a way of incorporating color and composition to furniture. Ultimately, he created a signature process of inlaying colored resin into a substrate material which acts as a functional surface. The pieces can be created in a wide variety of materials, including Corian, wood, metal, and plastics, in any color, from transparent to opaque.
