Magnetic curtains

| Comments (1)
I cannot resist bright ideas, intelligence is the engine that makes me desire products more than their beauty or style. That is the main reason why I'd love to get for my house the Magnetic Curtains designed by Florian Kräutli; a clever curtain that incorporates magnets in its inner structure which allows you to shape it into any form. Brilliant.

Belleville

| Comments (0)
Belleville is an ironic and very light-hearted coat hanger designed by Frederic Gooris for Diamantini & Domeniconi
The challenge was to use a low-tech technology, laser-cut and bent metal, to create a fun decorative element. By adding some basic functionality it is also a very practical object; besides holding your coats it provides a resting place for mail, keys and smaller items. It's main function is to draw a smile from whoever uses it.

Wooden Clock

I couldn't resist the fascination of this very japanese idea. Feeling time instead of measuring it is the idea that pushed Vinta designers, Kouhei Okamoto and Toshitaka Nakamura to create the beautiful Wooden Clock, I appreciate not only the refined shape but specially the idea behind it.

There are many good reasons for me to love this original magazine rack that Driade will present for the first time this week at Milan. Designed by Francisco Gomez Paz, Omero is made of modular injected aluminium cones and steel legs, the result is a stunning simple and sophisticated object I completely fell in love with.

Apple Slicer

I love this clever Apple Slicer made of stainless steel designed by Jessica Battram on sale at Moma Store. Position the ingenious disc-shaped slicer on any apple and rotate to release perfect slices, if you don't need to cut the whole apple at once just leave the disc pressed against the fruit, and it will not dry out or turn brown.

Yerra is the spanish word for the farming event in which cattle are branded with a hot iron. Argentinean designers Patricio Lix Klett and Federico Churba have recently launched the Yerra cowhide rugs, inspired in the tradition of branding, but introducing contemporary design.

Mistic

I love this candleholder made of Pyrex tubes. Arik Levy has given to Mistic a simple yet extremely elegant style that I find irresistible. Manufactured by the Turkish company Gaia&Gino that has recently launched a glassware collection by the Israeli designer.
