Colour Coding...Toys?


Found a home tour on Apartment Therapy of a couples' unique, artsy home. This home belongs to Sara & Jason from Kansas City, Missouri. Their love of vinyl toys has amassed such a huge collection, they can display it in a colour-coded fashion.

Textured Transparencies by Nendo
























Japanese design studio nendo exhibit 'Textured Transparencies' this year at Milan Design Week 2011 at galleria jannone.
This collection includes tables and lights, exploring the levels of transparency. They are not clear but partially transparent - think scrolling down the opaque selection in Photoshop and you will get an idea of how they are experimenting.

Hug Chair by Ilian Milinov


This caught my eye today at work, partly because of the sentiment behind it, but mainly for it's design.
It's simplicity just aches to be kept in a corner where one can perch and tap away at a lap top.
