Soup Can Hanging Lamps: An Icon In Your Kitchen

If you want to add an artistic touch to your kitchen or dining room and you’re looking for something a little unusual, then the Soup Can Lights are exactly for you.
Ever since the pop art movement emerged in the 1950’s the use of mass-produced items in a different context has become extensive. I am a known fan of this period, I love the style and techniques but I think that what I love the most is the fact that by changing the context of everyday objects our perception of their value is changed. Andy Warhol’s famous “Campbell’s Soup Cans” is perhaps one of the iconic symbols of this movement. Continue reading

Spun Chairs: A New Spin On Chairs

lounge-chairs-spun

Just to look at it, when upright, the Spun Chair doesn’t seem to be made for comfortable sitting. However, after leaning it on its side and fitting into it you surprisingly enjoy the playful movement of this rotating low chair.

Ergonomically, the seat, back and arms of the chair are all the same profile. When you tilt it on its side and sit in it you can easily rock from side to side and once you feel more comfortable and daring you can even spin round in a complete circle. The Spun Chair playfully rocks the classic approach to chair design. Continue reading

VaseMaker: More Flower Power

flower-vase-vasemaker

My first thought was: do I really need another vase? Because the truth is that even though I have a few I never seem to have exactly the right sized one and then I have to make my flowers fit the vase instead of the other way around. This is especially true when I want to decorate my windowsill or the table with a single flower or just a few branches, then I find myself improvising to find a “vase” the right size.

I was once again going through the “does it look like a vase?” ritual when I realized how smart the VaseMaker really is. Continue reading

Log Bowls: Naturally Vibrant

serving-bowls-log

These stylish log bowls are just perfect for adding a touch of nature and a spot of color without being too overpowering. Usually, whenever I go looking for new dishes I have to decide beforehand what look I’m going for: contemporary or traditional, industrial or natural, mass produced or hand-crafted.

My home-decor style is eclectic because I usually end up buying the things I like more than the things I “need” and most of all I’m not too fond of things that come in “sets”. When I saw these unique serving bowls I knew they were just perfect for me because they combine the natural beauty of trees with the sleekness of perfect color. Continue reading
