Friday Five with Michael Graves

Sometimes I book a Friday Five and I feel like I need to end the column and go out like Seinfeld – on a high note. This is one of those Friday Fives… but don’t stick a fork in me just yet… Michael Graves , FAIA, has been in the forefront of architecture and design since he founded his practice in 1964. His two firms — Michael Graves & Associates, the architecture and interior design practices, and Michael Graves Design Group, the product design and graphic design practices — have designed over 350 buildings worldwide and over 2,000 products including both building components such as lighting, hardware, bath and kitchen products, and a wide variety of consumer products for home, office and personal use (including his awesome collection for Target ). Michael Graves and the firms have received over 200 awards for design excellence, and Graves has received 13 honorary doctorates.

UF/O by Fabien Franzen

Belgian designer Fabien Franzen developed Archetypes , a brand through which he could release products and objects developed based on the “model” object, or archetype. His UF/O collection is based on the UFO archetype – a flying saucer of sorts. This series of objects is stackable and functional as vases and bowls, yet beautiful and sculptural perfect for display.
