We have a clue about Furniture

Materials: Faktum/Nexus Kitchen Description: I built a nice 'String' kitchen using Ikea Faktum kitchen cabinets with Nexus brown doors/fronts/cover panels and “String” side panels. “String-shelf” is a Swedish popular shelf from the 1950s… My idea was to create a kitchen that felt more like a piece of furniture since we lived in a really small apartment and the living room was the same room.

Korean artist and designer Seung-Yong Song , who studied and worked in France but is currently based in Seoul, recently sent us these images of his work. Part furniture, part art object, part art installation, they’re quite beautiful, as are the words that describes the concept for each piece. Object-E: “The unique name of things limit the range of product’s shape and function, but above all, the fact that there exists stereotyped function in accordance with each unique name suppresses my imagination. I am not willing to deny or destroy the identity based on the stereotype, but I only reinterpret the uses I need in my own design language.” Object-A: “I am looking in every nook and cranny of the room to find hidden spaces

One of the stand-out pieces at Maison & Objet for me was Doreen Westphal’s concrete lace curtain . Not only visually stunning, it plays with our conception of gravity, delicately suspending something we perceive to be very heavy in mid-air. The design is based on an old lace pattern from Belgium, which Doreen translates into a digital file. From this she creates a mold using plexiglass and silicone

Materials: Effectiv, Abstrakt, Capita Description: In this hack, I take an EFFECTIV Add-on (high), original price $80, purchased in the As-Is department for $45, a set of CAPITA angled brackets ($14.99), ABSTRAKT kitchen door piece, regular $74, also purchased in the As-Is department for $1.99. The first thing I had to do was take some isopropyl alcohol and remove the “As-Is” and item number written on the back side of the cabinet (which will be the front part of the bar). The As-Is department apparently now requires that the words AS-IS and the item # be marked in a prominent place on the furniture, which I find ridiculous, because it potentially ruins the piece.

Although we started with some Valentine’s Day inspiration yesterday and the ideas are flowing, they’ve got to be put on the back burner for some Super Bowl Sunday ideas, since it’s just a few days away. It’s kind of ironic when you think about it, if you stereotype the two events as one super-macho and one super-girly, that they’re so close to each other! Fine by me, especially if my guy wins a nice chunk of change in a Super Bowl pool, I better have a nice V-day gift coming my way!
Anyway, I heard on the radio today that approximately 7 million people call out of work the Monday after Super Bowl. Can you imagine!?! I didn’t think it was that crazy of a day, but apparently so.
Will you be doing anything special on Super Bowl Sunday? The image above is from Party City, so if you need some last minute decorations - they’re the place to go! And if you’re not sure what to make – check out the 101 best Super Bowl Recipes that is an awesome round-up of everything from wings, dips, sandwiches, more wings, and desserts.
