Cast Desk Tidy


This desk accessory by Benjamin Hubert is designed to encourage a thoughtful process of pencil selection and stationary display rather than the conventional “throw it all in a pot approach.”

Qian Qian

Qian Qian is a designer, illustrator, and art director from China who now resides in New York City. He studied digital media design from the University of Edinburgh and taught graphic design at Missouri State University. What I really enjoy about his work is his ability to combine his Asian background with his European design education. Lovely. I’m always inspired with design that is influenced by culture. But then again…isn’t all design influenced by culture?

HGTV’s Design Star
HGTV’s Design Star is back for another season. I’m so bored with reality TV, but at least with this show there is a lot of inspiration and it sparks creativity. It premieres on Sunday, June 8th at 9pm on HGTV.
Here is a promo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9qtHI-YOJg

I’m on the hunt for a new lamp for my desk. I am in love with this simple lamp, but the price tag = ouch!

Burnette Residence, Phoenix, AZ by Wendell Burnette Architects





The house is an extension of the desert garden conceived as an architecture that is in and of the greater landscape. Its rooms edit the surrounding context in such a way that connections are explicitly made to the sensory experiences of our natural world. An unapologetic from extends an existing ubiquitous road scar as a man-made canyon, touching only the site that was previously disturbed. The entry space extends beyond the visual, it is a series of moments and experiences that slow down time.
