thierry lasry eye glasses: frame design by ketevane maissaia


ketevane maissaia is a young eyewear designer who won the IFM (french institute of fashion) prize in 2010.  the IFM is a competition which allows young design students to see their creations made in association with big houses (YSL, dior, prada, etc). it’s a hell of a spectacle, ,but i like it… this unisex eyewear has been made in partnership with thierry lasry brand, and is available in black, white and red options. may we recommend the black… its loud enough as is. by dd

arnold goron – isabel marant

i was always wondering who was doing isabel marant’s windows. they’re so great all the time, it’s almost a sculpture and actually it is since french artist arnold goron is making them. it’s great when people with visibility do unexpected things. by pp.

paper furniture by studio job

“paper, cardboard and papier-mâché are familiar to all of us. they bring back memories of kindergarten and our first experiences of making things. inspired by classic icons but manufactured like modern day furniture, this furniture collection is an ode to classical style and to the material.” what a great concept- find it at moooi. by m+m

MIRROR MIRROR

 

i saw this gorgeous mirror designed by jacques adnet and wanted one, then i read a little bit about it and wanted it even more.

 

in 1950, adnet formed a partnership with the french fashion house, hermes, where he developed a collection of leather-covered furniture and interior accessories, including a distinctive leather mirror with brass hinges. besides the remarkable leather and brass details, the adnet mirror is also unique as the strap that holds the mirror is in direct proportion to the dimension of the mirror.

what the F#@K is a coa track?


remember when suddenly everything started to have its name spelled out on it? like a cup with the word “cup” on it? “soap dish”. “pillow”. endless shit. what the hell was that about? like you’re not gonna know what a fucking cup is? hating aside (and you should see this hater if you haven’t) this is the coolest coat rack i’ve seen after this one, i just still don’t know what to do with it. by dd

time to change your clock: alvin aronson mechanical corian wall clock

the d/a clock: corian, steel mechanics, electronics

the mechanized segments of this digital clock slowly protrude from the surface to reveal the current time. when a segment retracts, it disappears seamlessly into the face of the clock. the slowly transitioning segments lend the clock a physical dimension as well as a fluid animated quality, resulting in an object that exists somewhere between the analog and digital realms. design by alvin aronson. by dd

nude can: coca cola goes naked

someone told me recently that i should have bought some coca cola stocks as coke, along with cockroaches, are the sure things to survive all despite the economy. i replied “but coca cola stocks… sucks”. then i found this. an embossed logo substitutes colorfully sprayed coca cola red. the naked can not only looks sexy it helps in reducing air and water pollution that usually occurs in the coloring process. it also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. double win for a sugary, useless product that should not exist to begin with. now that’s a little better but still not sure about the stocks. by dd
