Cool Hunting
CH's infatuation with these Brooklyn-based designers continues with this brand new line of hand-printed pillows boasting intricate designs, some of which border on the macabre. To date, there are a half-dozen styles which remind us a bit of Salvor's effortly stylish throws, but with imagery ranging from peacocks, floral patterns and even skulls à la Dia de los Muertos. (Click images for detail.) More designs are rumored to be in the works, according to our contact at Rise + Fall.
Retailing for a mere $30, we challenge you to find a handmade Brooklyn-made product that's as intriguing and yet affordable. Call their store (+1 718 388 3108) to order.
In case you missed them, CH recently featured Rise + Fall's line of jeans, print tees and napkins.

Made by hand, the pillow fits in nicely with Rise and Fall's other efforts...
Yesterday we raved about their new denim, last December we featured their t-shirts and now we're bringing you one of The Rise and Fall's latest offerings, a line of hand-printed cloth napkins that arrest the eye with similar original designs that adorn these printmakers' shirts. "The napkins are a new idea we're working on," one of Rise and Fall's co-founders, Joshua Cohen, told us...
These Village Pillows by Brooklyn illustrator Rachael Cole are a set of cushions that work like a puzzle to build a country town, including houses, trees, a car, a horse, a dog and a duck. They paint a beautiful picture as a group and work just as nicely as individual pieces. What I like about the Village Pillows is that they're playful yet mature,...
Carved out of wood from Japanese trees, Hidetoshi Takahashi's new series of cups for design-oriented boutique Merchant No. 4 are excellent examples of his meticulously executed work. The series offers two styles, the Cara and Kami. The Cara cups, designed by Rina Ono, include a tea cup, a milk cup and an egg cup, all comprised of wood from the Linden tree. The Kami is...
by Kelsey Keith The title "woodworker" might be a misnomer for the talented Michael Moran, working out of Charleston, South Carolina. Not only does he scout felled trees—with the help of area historical foundations and the City Parks Department—he mills the wood upstate, custom designs each piece, then constructs the finished product without the use of hardware, stains or harmful finishes. Moran crafts even the...
The Record Cabinet, the first offering from Jenn and Nick Atocha (the husband and wife team behind Atocha Design), is the happy result of two music fanatics needing a home for their newly combined vinyl collections. Unlike most LP storage systems, which store records sideways allowing you to only see the spine, the Record Cabinet allows you flip through your collection savoring the artwork...
