Melt Modern by Evan Orensten
Matt Proctor and Aixé Djelal are Portland based cast aluminum artisans who create a range of one-of-a-kind decoratives and architectural elements. Aixé describes their work as "molten lava frozen in space," and that's pretty accurate. Their work exhibits an unusual blend of organic shapes, voluptuous lines and surface texture, and is made entirely of recycled aluminum.
Melt Modern products and information about custom work is available online.
We were a bit slow weeding through our inbox, so you may have caught their work on a few other sites in the last few days: Charles & Marie, Product Dose, Designsponge, Urbanzeitgeist.

Lumisty
Borrowed a stapler? Typing a personal email? Filing your nails from inside your office? Of course, you don't want gawkers watching your every move. As office space becomes tighter, we're crammed in closer quarters without an ounce of privacy. But Lumisty gives us some respite from the panopticon gaze of our fellow workers. The folks at Glass Film Enterprises have developed a glass pane...

Wood Exorcist
Yann Hervis is a rare craftsman of inlaid wood marquetry, bridging into contemporary art and interior design. His refined combination of precious woods humanizes the usually cold transit spaces of architectural projects: lobbies, doors, staircases, ceilings, elevators... In the process, while experimenting with the natural grains of wood, their colours, densities, textures, and natural dyes, he came to create his signature "palimpsests". By combining...

Richard Woods Home Makeover
London-based designer Richard Woods extends his "Super Tudor" style to a home in Woodstock, NY, giving the nearly 30-year-old structure a completely new look. Known for the idiosyncratic faux wood prints he designed with Sebastian Wrong fittingly called "Wrongwoods," the upstate New York home is not surprisingly "a parody of what a weekend house should be" according to contemporary art collector and home owner...
