When you hear the words Whaletone, I’m sure the last thing you think of seeing is a fabulously modern piano. In awesomely bright colors, nonetheless.
As the design of this piano is inspired by the way a whale arches its body when thrusting against waves, it also has a SuperNATURAL Piano Technology which ensures the sound of a classic grand piano. You can learn more about the design of the Whaletone here.
Three of the vivid Whaletones are pictured above, but there are several more available at their site. Of course, I’m loving the pink – which would you choose?

While in New York, we visited the Mondo Collection showroom, a company that is dedicated to bringing modern global design to the US, as well as collecting exceptional designs from up-and-coming designers. We got an exclusive tour of the space and had a great time speaking with Jaime Hayon and up-and-comer Jack Craig .

Are you sick of hearing about outdoor furniture, outdoor spaces or anything outdoor related on this blog? I hope not! I’m guessing since we’re just near the beginning of Summer there can’t be many people sick of hanging out outside yet. Or ever, but that’s another story!
Anyway, after all the talk of outdoor spaces and string lights and BBQs, I decided to create a moodboard for my own ideal space. I mentioned sometime last week that I would love to have enough space for dining, lounging and sunning, but since realistically I only have room for dining and sunning, I’ve only included those here. We do have a pool, but it certainly isn’t as pretty as the one I’ve included – but I’m not complaining!
Now that I’ve shared my ideal outdoor space – tell me what’s one thing you dream of for yours?
[Moodboard: pool - chaise lounge chair - string lights - canopy - dining set- outdoor rug]

Jeff Skierka created this coffee table that pays homage to a technology of the past: the cassette tape. I’m particularly fond of it because it reminds me of my youth… quickly hitting “record” on my boom box to try to capture “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer as it played on the radio, popping those tapes into my portable tape players for a walk around the mall, and then into the stereo of my first car.

Nendo paired with the Czech glassmakers, Lasvit , to create a collection of hand-blown glass lighting and objects. This is Nendo’s first foray into the glass world and the pieces are quite beautiful. Each piece is unique with slight variations, as that’s the unpredictability of them being hand-blown. The forms are striking, yet elegant all while remaining simple in their overall shape

Materials: Vika Amon top, Utby base, Ekby Jarpen shelf, Capita legs Description: I too have joined the standing desk movement and my back has never felt better. My first attempt was to construct my own desk, inspired by several I had seen online. I made a frame out of pipe segments. It was thin, but strong, and looked really cool… except for the top.
