I truly need this desk designed by Lukas Peet! The last couple of years I’ve run into all sorts of problems with my hand/wrist, which led to endless doctors visits and later on a brace and physical therapy. This surface tension desk helps eliminate those problems with its strong but forgiving surface of wood, steel and recycled leather.
I kind of like this chair because it appeals to my very inner minimalist (I swear it’s in there somewhere!) and my slightly outer pack-rat.. Created by Stephan Schultz, this wire frame chair can be recreated into whatever the homeowner would like it to be. I personally would love to add wooden planks to it, transforming it into a jungle gym for my lazy cat who needs to loose a few pounds.
I would love to own this siamese chair by Harush Shlomo, so I could put it at the front of my apartment, bark orders, and yell, “Entertain Me!!” at anyone who came over to visit.. just kidding I wouldn’t do that.
Ok, actually I would.
Tortie Hoare creates furniture from boiled leather, wood, and in some cases she adds a little linen. She studied the medieval process of boiling leather to create armor, because she was interested in wanting to “create a clean piece of furniture where the leather and the wood flowed into each other.”
We received this great little tip-off from Miss Caroline of Looks Good to Me a few weeks back, and boy, was it a good one! We Make Carpets create temporary carpets in various settings with unconventional materials. The end results are pretty amazing, no?

I’m always a little partial to an old farmhouse over something newly built, but this home is the perfect mix of both. Set in the Swiss Alps, it combines natural and modern elements, (in some rooms one dominates more than the other), but overall has a very warm, comfortable feel to it. And check out that view in the 2nd picture.. wowza!
I don’t know much about this cat chair other than that it was created by Laurent Corio and Maison Desalle as a tribute to the South, using a cliché of a cat lazing in the sun. And I want it pronto, I know that too.
I love this chair by French artist, Philippe Nigro. . in fact, I wish all my chairs functioned like this. They seamlessly stack on one another, but if you ever have an extra guest at dinner, you can pull them apart and they function as two. Brilliant!
Jean Paul Gaultier is collaborating with French furniture brand Roche Bobois, which will be released sometime next year. Gaultier was invited to renovate Elle Decoration suite, in which one of the rooms is covered in plants and ivy.
He states, “Plants are invited in, a garden is printed on the walls! Ivy weaves into the sofa; lichen grows over the woven chairs in the shade of a tree, and moss, like green velvet, carpets the stone, plants tumble down in steps, hiding in a net.”
In the spirit of my love for misshapen furniture, I’m think I’m going to declare Thursday mornings Deformed Furniture Day, until further notice.
I’m crazy about this series of chairs by Sebastian Brajkovic, they all look like they’re either melting, stretching, or contorting into new forms. I really love the last image, which shows a chair in the process of being made.
J. Morgan Puett emerged as a conceptual fashion designer in the mid-1980s, though she says that her work was more of an ongoing art project. In the mid 90s she bought a small piece of land in Tyler Hill, PA and began to slowly create a sort of work-in-progress artist community. There’s a great article from a couple of years ago at the NY Times.
Earlier this week I did a post on the talented Karen Ryan, and since I couldn’t edit her work, I decided to do another one! I love her In the Woods series of chairs, each made of about 10 other chairs. Gets me thinking about the 14 ft ceilings we have in here and our huge collection of found chairs. Hmmmm…

MC Motors is a 7,000 square-ft space that Castle Gibson Locations bought to rent out for events, photoshoots, and film locations. Pretty stunning.
