A cork vase from Portuguese design firm Bleach Design. I like the contrast between the glossy porcelain on top and textured cork on the bottom. The cork base keeps your tabletops safe. I think the cork stool is pretty cute, too.
I don’t have a name other than yabettasupadont for this jewelry designer but check out these cuffs! I don’t normally wear bracelets, but I like these a lot. I love the recycled fabrics. Very nice.
Chad Oppenheim is a Miami based architect (and cornell architecture grad – yeshimesh). The majority of the images on his website are renderings rather than pictures of built works, but regardless, what I like about his work is his interest in the facade. His facades become skins, layered to filter light, air, public and private. Responding to Miami’s climate, he often incorporates exposed interior walkways and gardens by pulling the building’s skin away from the building’s main mass.

Beautiful ceramic work from David Wisemen…This particular shape finds its way into a lot of David’s work – there are bronze and glass versions as well. These pieces seem to refer to terrain – both remind me of aerial views of a mountaintop. Lovely!

After midnight on a beautiful and warm night in December, at the reflecting pool of Lincoln Center, I proposed and Anna accepted! The rain on the ground was reflecting the lights in the trees and the plaza was all ours. There was a dance to an old Etta James song and a little bottle of champagne for our first toast as an engaged couple. It has been a long time coming and we are excited to begin our new lives together.
Happy Holidays!
Gorgeous jewelry from Katie Covington of K. Talis. Katie pairs vintage finds (keys, glass buttons, shoe buckles, enamel flowers) with fine metal work.

The Wave Hanger, designed by Nanni Holen, is a simple bent metal hanger for your house or apartment. Clean, durable and fun, it would look great in any kid’s room or schoolhouse. The hangers are sold in pairs for ~$60USD from Design House Stockholm.
I just came across Richard Saja via the Oh Joy! blog. His work is super cool – among other embroidered products, he takes toiles and reinterprets them with his embroidered details. I love it! This particular piece was for The Future Perfect in Williamsburg.
