« Previous EntriesNew Nervous System.
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009I first blogged about Nervous System about a year ago - since then, they’ve introduced a couple of new collections based on the morphology of orchids and algae. Leave it to the pair behind these designs to rethink these forms into something new and surprising.
Here’s the Orchid II necklace, in which thirty-nine layers stack [...]
Initial here.
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008I kind of love these.
I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Working at a digital advertising agency makes me hyperaware of the targeted content I am served on the interwebs. Usually, and to my chagrin, the Face likes to serve me ads like “25 and sick of your love handles?” with truly unappealing visuals in its seemingly innocuous right sidebar placement. But yesterday, after [...]
Like sugar.
Monday, August 11th, 2008UK designer Vicky Riley’s button-, ribbon-, and lace-festooned coin purses are almost too sweet.
But wait, there’s more! See her etsy shop for a variety of other handmade items.
You’re welcome anytime.
Monday, July 28th, 2008Love the friendly message and sweetly simple, girlish colors of this Shinzi Katoh design.
Light metals.
Monday, July 7th, 2008Check out these Jalea Jalea pendants, delicately rendered in a variety of metals by designer Tatiana Sánchez (dodecahedron on the left, nerve cell on the right). They are happily reminiscent of the math- and biology-flavored Nervous System pieces I love, don’t you think?
Via Oh Joy!
Stationery and Skirts, part II.
Friday, May 30th, 2008If you’re in the Brooklyn area this weekend, here’s another chance to check out Stationery and Skirts, brought to you by NicEvents and Kimera Design. For the juicy deets, see the invitation.
Artwalk 2008.
Monday, May 12th, 2008Yesterday was a fine day for an open studios visit, and the Fort Point Artwalk definitely delivered. Here are a few shots from my wanderings around this art-loving neighborhood in Southie (which, as I discovered on Saturday evening on my way to see the Death Cab show, also serves a fantastic lamb burger*).
Checking out [...]
Finding beauty in the mundane.
Friday, March 7th, 2008Some of the best design transforms the mundane into the beautiful. These two pieces are, I think, great examples of this.
UK artist Bethan Laura Wood creates these teacups that are treated to stain in predetermined places, so that lovely patterns are revealed over time. I love the idea that she’s harnessed inevitable wear [...]
Stationery & Skirts.
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Going to be in a wedding anytime soon (or just thinking about it)? If you’ll be near Brooklyn on the weekend of February 23rd/24th, you should check out Stationery & Skirts, an event hosted by friend of the blog Nicole of NicEvents and Kimera Design. I’m not going to be able to make [...]
Math goes glam.
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008…with Nervous System’s math- and biology-inspired jewelry line, founded by MIT grads Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg. They use stainless steel and silicone rubber to give physical form to computer-generated, vaguely neurological abstract shapes.
If you’re looking to take your own nerdiness in both hands, you can even run an applet on their website that [...]
Nerdz rool.
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Perfect geek chic.
Nerd + dork ring set available at Fred Flare.
