Friday Five with Interior Designer Trip Haenisch

Friday Five with Interior Designer Trip Haenisch

Interior designer Trip Haenisch resounded loudly on our radar when his work was featured on the cover of Elle Decor last summer. Yup, the one with Courteney Cox on the cover. Of course, to Haenisch, working with celebs is all part of a day’s work, as he also counts Aaron Sorkin, Christina Aguilera, and Cher (Cher!) among his clients. But don’t get the wrong idea. Haenisch’s work reveals not a trace of bling. His style is understated and clean. His Friday Five feels wonderfully insider-y — in addition to a concept car and very famous fashion designer, Haenisch spotlights his favorite photographer, furniture designer, and yoga retreat.

Fresh From The Dairy: Collage

We love it when things that might not necessarily go together seem to fit perfectly together. That’s my definition of collage. This week’s Design Milk Dairy picks include images that have been cut out and pieced back together to create some uniquely magnificent montages.

NY Design Week 2012: Model Citizens NYC

…and so begins our 2012 New York Design Week coverage! First up is Model Citizens NYC, a show I also attended last year. Now in its fourth year, the show had a few gems situated in an awkwardly large space… I preferred last year’s space, but this year there was a lot more to see.

Hated having to take an elevator up to the hot 4th floor, but was happy to be greeted by this.

Neo The Magnetic Hammer by Jung Soo Park

Neo The Magnetic Hammer by Jung Soo Park

And now for another edition of “Why didn’t I think of that?” starring Jung Soo Park’s magnetic hammer named Neo. One of the most frustrating things when you head up a ladder is having nowhere to put your nails. Jung Soo Park has tried to solve that problem by creating a hammer with a magnetic bottom so that the nails attach to it, freeing up your extra hand to stay safe on the ladder and keep dirty nails out of your mouth. Smart! Watch the video here.

I’ve seen cloud-shapes hangers before but not like this one, which holds your ties and belts. Clever and cute. Designed by Marý Design.

The Edinburgh-based artist has a keen eye when it comes to color choices that he uses in his limited edition prints and greeting cards.

CMYLK: Neon

CMYLK: Neon

We’re hardly slaves to the trends, but when a look as fun as fluoro comes along, it’s hard to resist. Neon fashions bring to mind armfuls of brightly-colored jelly bracelets à la Madonna and her legions of Material Girls from the ’80s, but back then, when it came to decor, mauve was having a moment. Not so right now. For this week’s CMYLK, we chose a dozen neon + bright pieces we’d be happy to have at home.

Clockwise from top left: Hot Pink Thonet Chair, Robinson Wall Clock, Kontextür Neon + Squared Shower Ring, Tom Binns Dot Dash Earrings, Seletti Versailles Fluo I*Mug, Fluoro Sync & Charge Cables, Innit Acapulco Chair, Sagaform Mirror Tealight Holders , Marks Silicone 2012 Diary, VÄNNERNA DRAGKEDJA Duvet Set, La Tete au Cube Fluo Salt & Pepper, Eva Solo Ice Tea Maker
