Brooklyn Flea

At the Brooklyn Flea last weekend I saw so many cool things. Both new and old alike, each piece seemed unique and special… With everyone into ‘vintage this’ and ‘antique that’, flea markets feel like the last truly accessible place

Venice | Danghyra

A few weeks ago, after Milan Design Week, I got to spend one night and two days in Venice. It was wonderful. A much needed break after the craziness that is Design Week. One of the only souvenirs I bought

At Art Basel in Miami in 2010, I saw this piece that I really enjoyed. I can’t say exactly why I like it, but I do. Sadly, I saw it at a tiny gallery show with no visible labels. So

Check out these super fun photos by David Parise. He simply photographs 1960′s Barbies, in their original clothing, on actual locations. They are heavily copyright protected (as they should be). So, I’ll only post a few and then you can

Milan 2012 | Street Scene

One thing that we (Zac Feltoon and I)  enjoyed the most during Milan design week, was walking around the smaller shows (smaller than Saloni.. ie: Tortona, Lambrate, MOST, etc) and their surrounding areas. The smaller shows were buzzing with passion

Designer | Mark Braun

Mark Braun has some really great design. I found his work at this year’s Saloni, because I was interested in his Floor95 closet system for Covo. External closet systems are a trend that I’m seeing a lot of. While on
