Atelier Van Lieshout Dutch Art Collective www.ateliervanlieshout.com
This company has been showing up on the best of the best lists and I can absolutely see why! They are taking Europe by storm and it is only a matter of time before they are the darlings of the American art scene. Their pared down architectural simplicity is stunning. Their infrastructure Coffee table is a mass of metal adroitly formed into what looks like the inner workings of a building schematic prior to putting on the next layer such as walls and legs.
M’s System MS0801 Speaker
www.mssystem.co.jp
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a stereo speaker technologically advanced enough to fill your room with glorious sounds. It is made from wood and the cylindrical shape supposedly enhances the acoustics. If you want to be oh so special, you can grab two of these babies and create a surround sound system. The ability to suspend the speaker from hooks or to rest on the stand as you see here just makes me want them more!
Studio 1a.m. www.studio1am.com
Great looking and environmentally aware designs! Studio 1a.m. does it again with their thoughtful and thought provoking designs of everyday objects. Shown is the Cuff made from recycled cork and environmentally friendly adhesives. They are individually numbered and are made for both men and women. They are flexible and water repellant. Plus, not many of your friends will have these beauties…yet!
At time of writing, pieces in the line available from $48.
Notebook & Pencil www.suck.uk.com
I am one of those people who are forever losing their pens and pencils, even when I clip them on to my note pad. Well, a friend of mine who just returned from the UK turned me on to SUCK UK’s notebook and Pencil set. Aside from loving the name of the store, so in your face and uncaring, I love their innovative product line. Not only will you look stylish and be an automatic tastemaker, you won’t be losing your writing instrument again! Love this!!!!
£7.50 for the large notebook
