Prima Ballerina
A coiled one-legged table. While the traditional wooden turned leg is made by subtracting material, the prima ballerina’s leg is made by adding material, coiling thread around a pole. This surprising combination produces graceful structures, with soft textured curves. With this technique, endless number of leg versions is possible, made in different shapes and of different threads and colors.
This reminds me of winding bobbins on my sewing machine.
Keep It Functional
As you may have already figured out, I love design. I think impractical design is cool, but I love practical, functional design even better.
That’s why I love this switchplate from Keep it Cartesian (4 design students that rock!).

Mt. Baker Residence, Seattle, by pb Elemental Architecture
I thought this was pretty nice-looking, but then I saw the outside!!! YUM.
The Mt. Baker Residence is perched on a steep slope high above street level. Massive façade windows and a 400 sqft roof top deck capture sweeping views of the Rainier Valley to Downtown Seattle. Column-like windows on side elevations of the home provide vertically-strong views, placed to respect the privacy of the adjacent neighbors. The 2,470 sqft home includes four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a large open living floor. On the top level, 12’ tall ceilings and walls of glass allow large amounts of natural light to create one grand space for kitchen, dining, and living.
Additionally, the home includes a separate, one bedroom apartment unit (635 sqft) on the lower level, complete with a wrap-around patio. The structure was conceived as the juxtaposition of three pure volumes, each containing a unique programmatic element. Each element is emphasized by material cladding; cedar panel, cement board, concrete, and marine plywood.

Tribeca Townhouse, New York, by Andrew Berman
This Tribeca Townhouse was created by Andrew Berman. Austere white walls with contrasting floors and huge windows/sliders give the house a very defined spatial reference with the interaction of its surroundings. The house is light, fluid and transparent and one can view the street from any room in the house. This is minimalistic done right.
