i've meant to blog about this interior (3.1 phillip lim at selfridges, london) by studio toogood for a long time now... finally!
i love the use of plain, cheap, widely accessible materials for high-end display. so simple, resourceful, playful, beautiful, & inspiring!

i saw the most beautiful dress the other day. most interesting cut and textile design i've seen in a long while.

dress by serial cultura via una (portland). also, just love this quote:

totokaelo is killing it with their newly launched ART - OBJECT brand. i am especially inspired by katy krantz's new pieces.

top to bottom: martha alvarez montero, akiko graham, katy krantz, new friends, heather levine, maison martin margiela

SHOP FEATURE: Ruth Borum-Loveland ceramics!

Ruth and I met at art school in college. Since then, she's had a long career as a painter and gallery artist (as well as become a wife, mother, gallery manager, and local Anthropologie window genius). She started working with ceramics on the side, and soon after I began to see pictures of her porcelain and stoneware bowls on facebook... When I was thinking of artists and designers for the (brick & mortar) pop-up shop last month, I immediately thought of her beautiful bowl sets. It wasn't until I picked them up from her that I discovered just how tiny and delicate these pieces actually are. Most of the bowls are 1-2" in diameter and some have little triangle stampings or intricate hand-carvings that really set them apart from other ceramic work I've seen lately. They're incredibly detailed, well-made, and artful. I love them, and I think you will too. Perfect little bowls for your vanity (jewelry!), the kitchen counter (salt cellar!), or simply stacked on the mantle... xx

SHOP UPDATE: The Peter Shire mugs are selling like hotcakes! The short & large mugs are sold out, but I still have 3 tall/skinny mugs left. More updates and product details to come... updated 6-10-12 10:18pm
