pairings: bag + chair

can't you picture this purse by xanath lammoglia slung over this chair by kartell?

(hint: look careful at the kartell chair... can you see the silhouettes of the series 7 by jacobsen, the tulip by saarinen, and eiffel chair by eames ... isn't that cool?!)

swatch: MESH bench

MESH by horgen becket via contemporist

love the use of materials in this bench by horgen becket.  MESH also includes a table and pendant light.

furnish: timber table

 timber table by style garage

i've been hard at work this weekend on a little project involving a faux bois pattern...in searching the internet i came across this little guy, which i quite enjoy.

create: stencil art

stenciling is like the quick and easy version of screen printing.  and this mid-century modern furniture stencil by stencil1 is even quicker and easier because the design is already done.  perfect vector images turned stencil.  i could have lots of fun with these....

covet: concrete cabinet

concrete cabinet by jean willoughby

wow.  i love this.  its a design you expect to see done all in wood but the thin simple concrete shell really makes it special.  nice work jean.

b just shared this video with me.... a 16 minute clip of marilyn neuhart discussing her new book "the story of eames furniture".  i can't wait to make this book a part of my home library....

profile: eames

I'm reading An Eames Primer and am fully in awe of this "power couple".  Beyond their contributions to architecture (Case Study House #8), furniture (Eames Lounge Chair) and other mediums such as film, this book gives insight to their personal relationship.  Ray & Charles, together, were purely magic in both the personal and professional realms.

Best book I have read in a long long time - can hardly put it down...
