These Chihuly-like chandeliers are the work of glass artisan Robert Kaindl.
Panpaati by Enoc Armengol
These bread furnishings by Enoc Armengol make me so hungry. The concept behind them is that they can be a part of the living process because they can be eaten. In addition, they reflect the production process of certain non-edible objects: fast and having a short life before they become obsolete. I think they definitely beat candy necklaces.

Hands Up Candelabra
The Hands Up Candelabra looks like someone screaming “touchdown!” but with pipes and candles instead of arms.
Baron Fire Basket
Love this fire basket called Baron from Röshults.
Michelbergerhotel in Germany by Studio Aisslinger
Studio Aisslinger recently completed designing the Michelbergerhotel in Berlin, Germany. It’s interior is raw and edgy, with an Urban Outfitters-meets-handmade kind of vibe. There are 119 rooms oin five categories, most small for singles or couples, some large enough for four. Owner Tom Michelberger, just 31 years old, desired his hotel to have a “young at heart” feeling, and renowned Designer Werner Aisslinger stepped up to the challenge, creating this highly character-driven anti-trendy boutique hotel experience.
The cost is fairly low as well to appeal to “dreamers, movers and shakers, lovebirds, soul searchers, artists, craftspeople, globetrotters.”

New from Pigeon Toe Ceramics, this Faceted Hanging Tray is the perfect shallow planter or veggie holder. It is made of porcelain and comes with a metal ring and leather cord, which is available in a few different colors.
Bullitt Cargo Bike by Larry vs. Harry
The Bullitt is a genius idea from Larry vs. Harry. This bike can hold just about everything including all your groceries and maybe a couple of children. Riding on the handle bars was never as fun as this!

Get Out! Urban Garden Challenges
When you embark on a design project in the city, you will quickly realize you have a set of challenges that go far beyond choosing decor and plants.
One must deal with the real life issues of owning an urban garden:
- privacy
- garden lighting
- storage
- noise and weather of urban living
- how to best utilize a small space for multiple activities (dining, relaxing, cooking, pets…)
To kick off a series of posts dedicated to designing modern gardens and outdoor spaces, I have chosen a project by London based Katrina Wells of Earth Designs.
