In Everything Give Thanks


We are excited to be introducing our new “In everything give thanks” sign! It’s in stock now. Here it is in our dining room. I started setting things up in here a little bit for Thanksgiving but I haven’t finished with the tabletop yet.

DIY Chalkboard Log Slice Placecards

eHow-Log-Slice-Name-Cards-17

Trust me. I know for a FACT that I am thinking too far ahead, but I just can’t help myself! I am a holiday season fanatic, and have been dreaming of all the excitement to be had starting on Thanksgiving and running all the way through New Years Day. Life just feels a little more chipper, a little more festive this time of year, and so I don’t mind jumping the gun in the name of seasonal fun.

Case in point, our dining room has been morphing (with startling speed) into Thanksgiving these past couple of weeks. I’ve been hard at work embracing earth tones—a color palette very far from my comfort zone, but it’s growing on me—and even went so far as to cook an entire Thanksgiving spread to bring a holiday-themed photoshoot to life. I also put together a brand new DIY rustic placecard tutorial in honor of the season to come—this time, using chalkboard paint and wood slices. Click over to eHow for the full rundown!

La Chaise Qui Se Détend Par Antoine LAMANT

La chaise qui se détend par Antoine LAMANT

Antoine LAMANT, jeune designer français basé du côté de Lyon fraichement diplômé de l’école de Condé nous présente son projet baptisé «La chaise qui se détend«, un jeu de tension pour différentes positions.

«Cette chose repose sur le principe de manipulation de barres en bois que l’on insère ou enlève de la structure pour tendre ou détendre la toile et ainsi créer une position chaise ou une position transat. La position dépend alors de l’envie de l’utilisateur qui passe d’une position à l’autre grâce à quelques manipulations simples des barres en bois.«

Ainsi au bout de l’assise, à la jointure avec le dossier, puis e haut du dossier vous disposez de différentes tiges de bois amovible vous permettant de venir jouer sur la tension du textile en un seul geste. Les barres de bois une fois retirées vendront se placer sur l’arrière de la chaise.

Les designers aiment jouer avec ces propriétés, ainsi Lukas Peet avec sa table Tension ou encore Eva Fly avec Hide explorent le même principe appliqué au mobilier.

Water Droplets Diffuse Light From Arturo Erbsman's Atmos Lamp

Atmos lamp by Arturo Erbsman

Interieur 2014: condensation droplets pattern the inside of the balloon-shaped shade of this lamp by French designer Arturo Erbsman, which has won an Interieur Award at the Belgian design event.

Arturo Erbsman’s Atmos lamp consists of an aluminium base that holds a light source and a blown-glass bubble that forms a diffuser on top.

A pool of water sits in the bottom of the glass balloon, just above the covered bulb.

When illuminated, the heat from the light source causes the liquid to evaporate and then condense on the inside of the cooler glass.

“Progressively, the glass seems to crystallise, micro droplets evolve and merge together to form drops that become significantly bigger,” said Erbsman.

The droplets coalesce and become heavier, eventually running down the sides of the shade and back into the pool.

Water on the surface of the glass helps to diffuse the light emitted by the lamp.

The lamp was first presented at Salone Satellite in Milan earlier this year, when it was awarded second prize in the exhibition’s contest for emerging designers.

It is now on show alongside the other Interieur Award winners, including a desk that generates electricity, a lamp shaped like a spinning top and a dining table with cooking equipment at its centre.
