Schlitz Up by Ingo Maurer
May 1st, 2012 § Leave a Comment
German lighting designer, Ingo Maurer has reinvented the recessed light. His Schlitz Lights create elegant slits to an imaginary illuminated realm above. Organic in form, light pours out softly from this daring design.
The ability to recess the Schlitz Up and make it seamless with the ceiling is it’s most exciting and impressive aspect. It creates a minimal though bold statement in any room.
You can purchase one for $4,140.00 from Stardust.com. There’s an 8 – 12 week lead time.
I love it!

So this week I found out B & N Industries has created this mesmerizing series of Iconic Panels. They use formed laminate panels over carved wood core to create amazing 3D effects. The applications are truly limited only by your imagination. Make it into a door, a table top (add a layer of glass for a smooth surface), or simply use it as eye candy for your walls! Love, love, love this product!

THE SHOP: Plant the Future
May 14th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
I stumbled upon this boutique flower shop with my coworkers one day after work. The shop located on NW 2nd Avenue and 25th Street has a charming cacti garden adjacent to the entrance where an amazing array of desert plants sit amongst a choreographed sea of white gravel.
The amazing texture and contrast created by these differing specimens of plants move inside to miniature scale table top arrangements. These exquisite creations are complemented by white porcelain horses with grass manes and their Mother’s Day invention: an arrangement of orchids and live moss with a real butterfly cacoon from which the lovely creatures will hatch in a couple weeks.
