Cool Hunting
We paid a visit to Mitch Greenblatt, an artist/designer/watch collector yesterday to film him for an upcoming CH Video episode. While there he turned us on to his collection of Rose Cabat ceramics.
Now in her nineties, Rose continues to make the small "feelies" she has become internationally known for since pioneering the style with her husband Erni in the 1960s. They are called feelies because of the unique texture of the glaze that she created and has used ever since; holding one of these small vessels feels a bit like holding a fuzzy peach.
Rose is able to coax colorful shades of yellow, green, purple and pink from her glazing, and paired with her small and sensual shapes with thin necks make her work highly collectible and well esteemed—the MoMA and other museums and collectors are among those who have feelies in their collections. Deals can be found, but her larger pieces can easily run several thousand dollars. New and vintage pieces are also available on her site.

A few cheeky watermelon-themed products we happened upon recently got us thinking about the summer fruit as a source of design inspiration. While George Nelson's iconic modernist clock ($335 from Pure Modern) is a restrained nod to the melon's oblong shape, most of what's out there appeals to the pink, black and green colorway and the contrast of the exterior rind to the flesh....
While the words "love box" might suggest a certain dirty euphemism, Tamarindo Concept's Love Box aims to be a bit more sentimental.

Poster boy Shephard Fairey really hit the big time when his Obama print was picked up by the Obama Presidential Campaign last year. Having subsequently designed the official Inaugural Poster for Obama, he looks well positioned to become the go-to guy for reshaping how we visualize the White House.

Easily the most intelligent, holistic and culturally relevant exhibition in the Miami Design District, Al Sabah's debut of "East meets West" was a revelation.
