Polly Ester Laptop Cover
So. . . Laura came in to the studio with one of these groovy polyester beauties the other day. We've both been on the hunt for a laptop cover, so I had instant envy - even before I knew it was one of Brokesy's designs. A LONG time admirer of Brokesy's attack pillows. I am loving this use of dead stock vintage necktie fabric. Super cool.
Chela's DIY felt circle window screen
Trying to decide which window(s) would be best suited for this DIY window screen project by Chela Edmunds. Just the thought of it hanging in the house really makes me happy!connecting with Mina Perhonen
Lately, I've been connecting the dots on random things that have influenced me over the years. And I'll be the first to admit it: I am a visual junkie - which inevitably means sometime loosing track of where things come from. This print being one of them. It's funny, I always thought it was a painting which should be made into a pattern - I had no idea it was ACTUALLY a pattern until the other night while obsessing over the designs of Mina Perhonen! (I can be such a dork.) I am drawn to how calm the design is with so much going on. Its rhythm is very soothing but still charged with energy. Digital and primal all at once. herring love
Wouldn't this make a wonderful salt cellar? Be sure to check out the companion linens - it's hard to choose. Designed by Marianne Nilsson in the 1950s for Almedahls.pattern love
Every time I wear this shirt it makes me happy. Black 'n white, hand drawn, scribbly, organic-geometric, ethnic mixed with an unexpected mod-pop graphic and a touch of quirky color!
dorky pattern
Laura came to the studio today with this pattern on. I couldn't stop thinking about how wonderfully dorky it was and want to make our own version. Very drawn to the muted aqua + indigo + white combo and the dorky personality of this geometric.{pattern source: H&M}
Patricia Urquiola's amazing chairs
I've been a long time admirer of Patricia Urquiola's work, but I never knew her name until now. (That's the problem with being a visual junkie sometimes.) My first introduction were these wonderful woven chairs. Obsessed, but WAY out of my budget I hung pictures on my studio wall. Years passed, I never knew who had designed the chairs I obsess about. I am enchanted with them as much today as I was that first moment.
The other day, I had the same instant reaction when I saw this post over on seesaw. From there I searched the web more and made the connection. The whimsy and sophistication of her woven furniture is so inspiring. So sexy. So elegant. So playful. So comforting.meet Berty
Meet Berty. "He loves mustard on all his food and dislikes cream of mushroom soup." (I think he and I will get along famously - don't you?) Berty is one of the newest members of Donna Wilson's odd-bod bunch of knitted creatures and I think he'll be coming over to my house very soon!
Studio Violet
We have enjoyed watching Studio Violet introduce themselves to the world: So warm and inviting - like visiting with an old friend and catching up over a cup of tea. Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker are Studio Violet and together they have created a nostalgic and whimsical combination of illustrations and patterns that feels instantly familiar juxtaposed with something unexpected. Such a graceful combintion. Check out their latest: reused porcelain dishes!inside the envelope
When you were a kid, did you turn the envelopes inside out to see the tiny patterns hidden inside? We did. So, it was great fun to find this flickr set of security envelop patterns. This on-going project was set up by Joesph King to collect and organize envelope security patterns from around the world - what a great idea. We love finding tiny patterns in unexpected places.bird in a bowl
I love finding small unexpected details. And I love simple utilitarian objects. This little bowl mixes quirky illustration with a tiny geometric pattern. The pattern almost becomes a solid as you are lulled by its rhythm. The design is ever so slightly raised inviting you to run your finger around its surface again and again. This little bowl with a bird in the center is the perfect combination and makes me happy.snowboard pattern
Check out this pattern on a Burton snowboard. Love how the critters and letters are puzzle pieced together to create an all over design. Fun.
