Rachael Cole Pillows
(29 April 2009) - 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.

Alison Berger x Blackman Cruz
(12 January 2009) - Los Angeles-based glass artist Alison Berger creates glass forms that transform mere lights, vessels and objects into timeless poetic expressions. Her recent collection of bottle-shaped vessels for the L.A. design mecca, Blackman Cruz, is an exercise in balance.

Richard Woods Home Makeover
(24 November 2008) - 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.

Brad Teasdale Mosaics
(16 June 2008) - Brooklyn-based artist, Brad Teasdale, blends contemporary concrete and glass design with classical mosaic craftsmanship.

His latest project, "Leela" (which means "god's play in Sanskrit), is a custom installation. To create it, Teasdale...

Bottoms Up Doorbell
(21 February 2008) - A winner of a Red Dot award last year, Peter van der Jagt's Bottoms Up Doorbell is perhaps one of the best examples of repurposed objects we've come across.

A magnet (which adds bonus points for its exposed wiring) between two different sized crystal wineglasses creates the classic...

P.A.M. x Undercover Shade Lamp
(03 January 2008) - Using macabre imagery to form an eerily symbolic sculptural piece, Jun Takahashi of Undercover joined forces with P.A.M. to create the Shade Lamp.
