An eclectic pied-à-terre in NY

An apartment interior design project that I LOVE is that of George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg..Toronto-based highly successful luxury retail and hospitality designers.
Their space bathed in natural lighting from floor-to-ceiling windows, with clean crisp lines, an artful eclectic collection of pieces from their trips around the world, and craftmanship. It makes it an enlivened rich artfully-detailed place! ( I obsess over details! maybe because of being a designer ;) )

Sculptural abstract eclecticism!..If I would explain the details this post would be endless..

Lounging outside on the WILD SIDE

Tribal, safari, and exotic printed textiles are all on the Spring/Summer '09 Fashion Runway..but also in interiors ( in this case exteriors) ! The Wild Side Collection from Perennials Outdoor Fabrics brings the essence of the Serengeti and the Kilimanjaro just outside your house, around your patios, pool, etc. An exotic collection of 14 playful textiles, mostly in acrylic which are soil, mildew, and UV rays resistant with a 3 year no-fade warranty.
The jungle tribal pattern need not to be only worn on you, but it could be worn on sofas, chairs, curtains, etc. that brings a jungle life to your living place. But don't over do it!!

Not your regular dining experience

Your dining experience need not to be boring anymore..with a twist Rósa Björk, Katharina Moebus, and Julia Maltry, the young design trio behind Hùn Design, created a uniquely designed dining experience that gives a new way of dining. These students of Italy's Libera Universita di Bolzano, came up with the Forrestisch and Romantisch dining tables. They speak for themselves once seen.
The Romantisch is a table made from wax acting like a giant four-legged candle, where the theme makes it a perfect setting for a romantic candle-lit dinner, or an affectionate passage of time as the table melts with its use.
The Forrestisch is designed to reconnect diners with the source of all food (mostly) - nature. To eat, diners must "hunt" their camoflauged plate and cutlery from the lush forest print tablecloth background.

Dramatic Expressionism

Artist of the Week: Pierre Bonnefille – Artist (Murals, Furniture, Painted Decor)

The growing interventions of Pierre Bonnefille is best expressed as the "Dramatising of the Matters".

His paintings, murals, and furniture design is a decorative melange of earth-based materials such as sand, along mineral pigments, and adhesives such as wax. His obssession with colorful pigments played with textures creates such a beautiful sight! His palette is derived from natural pigments, combined with minerals, waxes and other materials. He works to special order, in his atelier or on site. Among his creations: the walls of the Café Marly near the Louvre, the Bernardaud Salon de Thé, rue Royale in Paris; and the Christian Lacroix boutiques in Paris, Milan, Moscow..., Fauchon's calligraphic red gold wall, etc.
