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.

"The napkins are a new idea we're working on," one of Rise and Fall's co-founders, Joshua Cohen, told us...
From the newly-opened Look boutique in SF, these handmade cozies have all the warm appeal of a sweater grandma made with an offbeat Dr. Seuss shape. According to the site, they're intended for vases but we think they'd be well-suited for dressing up a different household object that holds water and plant matter. With unusual colorways, ruffles and perforated weaves, they also hold their...
New from the generations-old family glassware-makers Riedel, this series of decanters takes its inspiration from birds for a collection that's as striking as it is functional. Designed by Maximillian Riedel (also responsible for leading the stemless revolution) and his father Georg and handmade by artisans in their Austrian factory, the leaded crystal vessels are all aerodynamic lines and dramatic dimensions. While the Swan (above...
The first in a line of "organic technology" products, this LED Loom Lamp from Brooklyn based Lwindesign studio weaves reddish branches of Ash coppice around a ring of white LEDs. Casting shadows on surrounding walls and adding a touch of nature to interiors, the lamp uses a traditional weave. The organic materials (part of Lwin's aim to integrate local forestry into his work) are...
