modern.hanger
Two rope hangers in a week; apparently the concept is catching on. I found the Wardrope Wardrobe on The Fancy and it represents a comparable alternative to La Cima by Lapo Ciatti. This coat hanger appears to rely on the weight of the coats and jackets to keep the hooks in place instead of requiring […]

ysl.shoes
If you’re chasing casual-chic with a friend or significant other, Yves Saint-Laurent is a smart bet. The his-and-hers shoes below work well by themselves but create a sum greater than their parts. The YSL Madge Peep-Toe Bootie in suede and shiny leather is edgy without getting crazy. Available for $1,295 on the YSL website, the bootie […]

clothing.rack
I found the Iron Clothing Rack on The Fancy and I’m impressed by the simplicity. My kitchen has an iron rack to hold pots and pans and it’s endlessly convenient so why not export the idea to the bedroom? Designed by Anna Lee Nashem, the rack would probably fit on the easier end of DIY […]

I am a news junkie. Checking the news is the first thing I do when I wake up and I usually look for new stories every few hours if I’m not checking multiple times within the hour. I can’t think of anything in life that changes quicker or more dramatically than politics. Reading the news […]

These two tripod light stands (Cone and Mirror Ball, respectively) instantly invoke Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights”. Glamorous for sure with a heavy dose of Hollywood, these lights were created by London-based Tom Dixon. I discovered the designer through an article on the M.E. Design Magazine website and I appreciate his “commitment to innovation and… mission to revive the British […]

packaway.blazer
This is a pretty stellar idea. Burberry London released a 100% polyester packaway blazer that fits nicely in a small pouch. Life can be unpredictable (especially when you’re addicted to Starbucks) and it’s prudent to keep a spare set of clothes on hand. The blazer would be perfect sitting in your car trunk as a […]

shard.skyscraper
I stumbled across a new website — SkyscraperCity — that follows the one thing I love most: skylines. I suppose the website is more in touch to the individual buildings, and a skyline is surely more than the sum of its parts, but the forum is an awesome place to get the latest scoop on […]

infinity.table
Start-up companies are notorious for trendy work spaces inside open-space lofts and warehouses but I would push the work place modernity movement one step further toward minimalism and monochromatic coloring. The Infinity Conference Table by Bozhinovski Design does exactly that through a stylish design that maximizes space and stimulates your aesthetic sensibilities. The table was found on the M.E. Design […]

Coat rack designs are a dime a dozen and the most unique versions hardly provide any real level of ingenuity between designs. La Cima by Lapo Ciatti is different and redefines the very principles of a typical coat rack. Throwing out the idea that a rack must stand on the floor or be connected to the […]

suspended.glassware
I found the Revolution Collection glassware set at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and fell in love with both concept and design. Chicago-based architect and designer, Felicia Ferrone, began work on the series in Milan of 2001 where the pieces were initially introduced by Covo. The glassware is now handcrafted in the Czech Republic […]
