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. The scene depicts a tree growing out of (or through?) a skull in a cemetery somewhere with the branches (fittingly) holding the shade. For mood lighting, I like the green and gold eyes, but my favorite part of the lamp has...

Green Home LED Christmas Lights
(29 November 2007) - We like a good Christmas light job as much as the next person, but there are always concerns about energy consumption and the like. Green Home, a pioneering outfit that's run out of a basement in San Francisco's working-class Richmond District, offers a good array of LED Christmas lights that saves energy (and money). Bulbs are available in both traditional (starting at $12.50) and...

Coco Chanel's Apartment
(13 September 2007) - Chanel's interlocking double-"C" logo, iconic quilted handbags and boxy suits are only a few of the label's contributions to 20th century design. The only privately-held major luxury brand, Chanel's rich history has everything to do with its courtesan-turned-fashion legend founder Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. Thanks to a Chanel-sponsored trip to Paris last weekend that included 13 other international sites, CH got a rare glimpse at...

Fante Asafo Flags
(13 July 2007) - Not long after Paul Smith's furniture and curiosity shop opened on Albemarle Street in London's Mayfair about a year and a half ago, I went in and was immediately drawn to a large, colourful and undeniably African flag that hung on the wall. I would have bought it if it wasn't something like $3000. Even so, I made a note of what it was:...

Vinyl Wall Art
(14 June 2007) - This artist-designed Vinyl Wall Art is the latest version of no-fuss decals for dressing up walls. Without the slip, slop, slap and sheer frustration of wallpaper and a lot cheaper than a framed artwork, designs from Jeremyville (pictured), Tado, Tassel, Ich & Kar and Geneviève Gaulker can be stuck and then peeled off to re-use somewhere else in your home. Available from Robio for $AUD110....

The Rasterbator in Color
(20 April 2007) - Apartment Therapy recently reminded us about the Rasterbator. Not the sort of thing one might deduce from the name alone, the Rasterbator is a free easy-to-use service that allows you to upload any image to their site and they will send it back blown up as a series of pdfs. Now available in color, piecing the image back together results in a huge decorative...

Casa Decor London 2007
(18 January 2007) - Casa Decor (CAD) is nothing new to any up-to-speed designer and trend reporter located in either Spain or Portugal. This yearly appointment was established around 15 years ago in Madrid, with the goal to gather all the new trends for living spaces in one single building for a month, free of any creative limits.

Three Better-than-Wallpaper Wall Coverings
(02 October 2006) - Wallpaper trends wax and wane, but in the end it's still just eye candy. These three new takes on wall coverings grabbed our attention recently at an exhibit during the London Design Festival called "In Production" for the ways they add new dimensions—both literally and figuratively. Susan Bradley's multi-purpose Outdoor Wallpaper (pictured left) is a laser cut metal pattern designed to function as a...

Lee West
(22 August 2006) - Lee West is a young English designer who has been working in Paris since 2000. He's quickly made a name for himself "Create(ing) useful objects with maximum material quality" for Ligne Roset, Cinna, Arc international, Paco Rabanne perfumes and Seiko. We like his sensibility for organic forms and mirrored surfaces. Here are a few of his works (more after the jump): His Boss table...

Pop Cling
(17 August 2006) - Somewhere between a poster and a painting, Pop Cling's digital-fine art reproductions of original works come printed on an adhesive-backed surface that makes it easy to apply to any smooth surface. Featured artists, like Jason Sho Green (pictured, click to zoom), are all up-and-comers with a skate culture vibe. Throw one up on a dorm room wall or apply on a loft's concrete floor...

Lumisty
(03 February 2006) - 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...

Melt Modern
(02 February 2006) - 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...

Mealbox
(13 January 2006) - Now imagine all of that above fitting into all of that to the right. You might be exclaiming "Oh golly! Those ever so clever designer folk! What will they think of next?!" Or perhaps a simple "WTF?" sums it all up. Anyway, this packageable Japanese style dinning table, appropriately dubbed as Mealbox, was created by Igland Design, a husband and wife duo based in...

Decoradar Kits
(05 December 2005) - A 3-D take on the wall mural, these kits from Brooklyn-based artists Elisheva Biernoff and Jennifer Smith come with sculptural wall ornaments, paint, instructions, and everything else needed to create themed decor. Their debut design, "South" features wooden oranges to affix to cartoon-like trees, while the latest, "North" (pictured above), includes a pair of owls and carbon transfers. Look out for upcoming editions, "East"...

Lux 11
(25 October 2005) - Lux 11, a new hotel that opened in Berlin's hip Mitte district in July, wins points for a location central to many of the city's best boutiques and restaurants and, with the addition of an Italian-Asian fusion restaurant (slated to open mid-November), Tietgen und Kahlcke's Aveda spa, Ulf Haines' (buyer of the the famed Quartier 206) store, and café, does its own part in...

RISD's New Digs
(15 September 2005) - Known for alumni who consistently go on to shine in nearly every creative field from architecture to cinematography, it's only logical to apply the principles of good design taught at RISD to daily life in the dorms. It's even better still to use in-house talent like planners did when confronted with furnishing a new dorm. The housing director turned to DEZCO, a firm made...

Missed Connections
(22 August 2005) - Let's talk about feelings. According to Dutch design house Demakersvan, it's a subject not often enough addressed in the contemporary design world, and their assertion just may be true. The vast majority of furnishings either look good or perform a function well, or, if you're lucky, both. They sit idly in our living spaces and favorite clubs, reflecting little more than our tastes and...

Spell It Out
(09 August 2005) - The craft-loving ReadyMade, a magazine once described to me as "Martha Stewart Living for hipsters," is offering a few great items from the lesser-known retail side of their operation. The customizable "Make-A-Sign" is a cheap and fun way to bring classic diner charm into the home. The menu board, available in 5x7" and 8x10", comes with a set of ever-rearrangeable letters that, in the...

Outside-In
(04 August 2005) - Another prototype from Promise Design, Phytoslim is a modular system for growing plants on walls. Its slim panels are made of coconut fibers and supported by a hidden plastic skeleton. The 2"-thick pieces supposedly attach to any surface, indoor or out, vertical or horizontal. Although we're absolutely smitten with the idea of a grass-covered interior wall, the sheer logistics leave doubts in our minds:...
