Sonnenzimmer for Insound 10 for 10 have just designed a great poster series featuring ten of the bands that they believe made an impact on music in 2010. The designs can also be purchased in t-shirts.
I absolutely love them all.
Summer 2010 has been a temperature record breaking summer. The hot days are starting to drag on and I am incredibly excited for slightly cooler temperatures that I know have to be on their way shortly. Living on an island you would think that there would be swimming opportunities all around us. Wrong, wait until you see the water that surrounds New York. There is no way anyone in their right mind would ever put their legeven an inch in the water.
This new concept for a floating pool would be absolutely amazing especially with the views. I hope that this concept is turned into reality one day soon. Please check out their website, a group of designers and architects have come up with this concept to help increase the environmental quality of New York City by 2030.
I have wanted a Cowichan sweater for sometime now. It took me quite a long time to find out the name for these sweaters. But once I did the designs and quality in these sweaters are just stunning. A traditional Cowichan sweater is knit by hand from high quality wool by members of the native Canadian tribe the Cowichan and feature Canadian motifs like deer, whales, snowflakes....
Granted in Vancouver has taken a modern spin on the traditional Cowichan and I am very excited for them to unveil their fall/winter collection any day now. Here are a few pieces from their previous collections....
I would definitely like to add both a traditional Cowichan sweater and a more modern one to my closet this winter. You must get your orders in shortly because as they are knit by hand the wait time is 3-4 months.
Dutch designer Dave Keune has made one of the most brillant and well designed baby product that I think I might have ever seen. He has really thought of everything- crib, changing table, storage and it can easily be moved around.
Amazing.
I have always been drawn to architect Jim Olson's work. The buildings he creates have such a grand relationship with the environment around them. They way in which he considers the natural habitat and the landscape in the Northwest, when he builds, he is able to create inspiring habitats. I would definitely want to reside in one of his dwellings if I ever live in Seattle.
Exploring flea markets is one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday. My best flea market find was just a couple months ago when I found a set of nine Nasa prints. They are from 1950's and are photographs that were used in Nasa school...we will show them one day right now we are just trying to find the right frames.
The guys over at Modern 50 find the most amazing things. I can spend hours looking at all their industrial finds. If I didnt live in an apartment I could definitely do some damage shopping here. I love how they know the use for every item, hours of discovery can be spent on this site.
