THE AMAZING STAIRCASE ///
This staircase I came across on Apartment Therapy was too good to not share! I feel so inspired to try something like this.
EMECO x COKE – NAVY CHAIR ///
I’m sure you’ve seen this chair everywhere by now. Coke and Emeco refresh the classic Navy chair, originally designed for the U.S. Navy back in the 1940s, by making it out of 111 recycled Coca-Cola soda bottles. I went over to Design Within Reach yesterday and took a look at it. It’s really gorgeous. The...
PORTIA WELLS ///
Portia Wells‘ work has always amazed me. Her design projects also serve as a platform for artistic ideation and social commentary about the objects we consume and acquire. I’m always surprised at how each time I look at a particular work I come across a new and unexpected thought behind it.
THE CAMPANA BROTHERS///
Even though both of my parents are from the Puerto Rico I have to admit I know very little (in fact, almost nothing) about designers from the Caribbean and Central/South America. Over the last year or so this has all changed, in large part to my wonderful friend Alberto Rigau, who has introduced me to...

JAMES HOPKINS ///
James Hopkin‘s artwork is incredible. I don’t usually find myself attracted to much contemporary sculpture, but Hopkin’s ability to craft pieces that require the onlooker to do a double-take has got me hooked. Hopkins constructs incredible works imbued with interpretative meaning through the use of scale, perspective and visual trickery. Enjoy.
IKEA x VERDANA = BAD ///
After more than 50 years of using Futura (and Century Schoolbook) as their typeface for catalogs, signage, ads, etc., Ikea has decided to use Verdana instead. The reason, it seems, is to unify their presence globally in both print and digital media. Rubbish, I say! I think this represents poor taste on their part, and...
SKATEBOARD FURNITURE ///
Some interesting furniture made from skateboards by Skate Study House Via Accidental Mysteries
INDUSTRIAL FACILITY ///
Recently I ordered this great little business card holder designed by Sam Hecht. A couple of clicks later and I was led to his studio, Industrial Facility. They’re based in London and recently launched a new online store called Retail Facility. I love the calculator shown above.
