Right now, I`m really into cardborard furniture, so I was pleased to find these chairs made by Brazilian studio Super Limão. The quality and the finishing are great, but the thing is, pieces like these are being sold in very expensive shops, which makes me wonder if the purpose of the use of cardboard is being forgotten over comercial issues...
I don't know about you, but when I hang artwork or photos, the less frame the better. Usually I end up buying clip frames because they're cheap and offer a clean look -- no frame at all, which is what makes fotoflōt so appealing.
Founded by Tom McAuliffe, Jurgen Reinold, and Jim Alef, fotoflōt creates a clean photo presentation that's free of glare (because it doesn't use glass) and easy to switch up. To hang a photo, secure the provided magnetic cups to your print, and then attach your print to the magnets on the mounted bracket. That's it! When you tire of an image, just remove the magnets from your print, fasten them to a new photo, and hang again.
This is one my favorite examples of fotoflōt in use because I too have an unsightly electrical box that is impossible to hide. A clever customer solved her problem by placing a fotoflōt-mounted photo over top of it. Brilliant!
Intelligent. Attractive. Hand-produced. And did we mention harvested from sustainable forests? In fact, many of the pieces designed in Chicago's Ali Sandifer Studio are crafted using fallen trees from the local area. Specializing in casegoods, the collection avoids veneers and stains and instead builds exclusively with hardwoods that are finished with natural oils and water-based sealants. The pieces have slender mid-century proportions and clever functional features.
The ZAIDE coffee table below, available in walnut, ash or rift white oak, offers a balanced three-legged wishbone base and exposed storage on all sides.
My favorites, the SHEILA storage unit and the EDITH credenza (both below) juxtaposed your HD flat screen offer groovy statements.
Belgian designer Casimir recently presented the new series of storage furniture Ladder N1. Designer Casimir’s starting point for this series was yet another familiar object and archetypal design.
The ladder’s original form and function – a movable stairway – and an immovable shelving unit have now been merged into one piece by extending the ladder’s rungs into shelves and cases of different sizes. Ladder n°1 upgrades the stairway – still needed to reach the highest shelves – into a piece of solid oak storage furniture.
