Hoof Tables by Samuel Wilkinson
UK-based designer Samuel Wilkinson launched his Hoof tables at the Stockholm Furniture Fair this week. The tables are named Hoof because of the design of the feet, which resemble hooves (or also sharpened pencils).
Syncline House by Arch11
Located between the Rocky Mountain foothills and the Great Plains, the Colorado-based Syncline House was built with landscape views in mind. Arch11 built a unique modern house where there weren’t only site limitations with building in a fold, or in geological terms, a syncline, but height restrictions from the city.
Marginal Notes 2012 by Note Design Studio
Marginal Notes 2012 is a collection of prototypes by the Stockholm-based design firm Note Design Studio. The collection is in collaboration with Lerch Träinredningar and was presented this week, which is Stockholm Design Week. The group of designers examined the sketches that had been made in the margins of their notebooks and upon a second look realized they needed to be made.
Stripetown & Herringbone Cards by Karte Design Fabrik
Karte Design Fabrik is back with six new card collections, two of which have tickled our fancy — the Herringbone and Stripetown collections. We previously featured Karte Design Fabriks’ Scandinavian-inspired holiday collection and I love these new collections even more. Liz Mckeown has given these classic patterns a new updated and modern twist. All cards are designed and made in Berlin, Germany and come with a thick, flecked brown envelope.
Armadillo and Lodge Chairs by Baltasar Portillo
Believe it or not, that’s a chair pictured up there.
The Armadillo and Lodge Chair by designer Baltasar Portillo of El Salvador “sit” exactly where furniture and sculpture intersect. Resembling a bridge, each chair fills space and performs a function without disturbing your view. You could say they enhance your view.
Friday Five with Josh Owen
You’re probably familiar with Josh Owen’s cast iron menorah for Areaware, which we believe is on its way to iconic status. Owen, who is currently based in Rochester New York and teaches at Rochester Institute of Technology, turns out some pretty amazing clean-lined designs. Most recently he debuted the WC Line for Kontextur, a series comprising a plunger, toilet brush, and waste bin that elevates the mundane. As you can see from this week’s Friday Five, Owen revels in the functional and simple.
Fresh From The Dairy: Us and Them Zine
Every so often the team at Society6 cooks up a really fantastic idea for a new print collection, art show or zine. This time, they partnered with over 20 artists on Us and Them, a limited edition 30-page zine with exclusive artwork.
Plus Side Table by Goodwin + Goodwin
Designed by London-based designers Goodwin + Goodwin, the Plus side table is a continuation of their Plus Desk. It was designed so that it could be assembled in moments without the need for any tools or fixings. The affordable table is made in the UK and comes neatly flat-packed in a small box with the legs sitting inside the top.
Ted Lott
Madison, WI-based artist and woodworker Ted Lott created this series of small house frames out of wood while in residency at the Anderson Ranch Art Center in Colorado. A nice comment on the role of traditional craft in the modern world.
