For today’s theme, we are looking to pieces which draw inspiration from nature and translate it into something we can enjoy and/or utilize in our everday lives.  One design which takes the very most simple form of  a stone, and translates it into a very practical yet beautiful indoor/ outdoor light collection is Oluce from Italy- calling [...]

SO this one is maybe just a little off-kilter, and is sure to have you wondering whether this is beautiful, unique, plain weird, or maybe all of the above?  Of today’s posts, this is definitely the most literal translation taken from nature, and transformed into something quite miraculous.  Seriously, who would have thought a taxidermy animal could [...]

When it comes to certain spaces, architecturally-speaking, one of the most challenging ones to design and create ‘zones’ and ‘rooms’ for are lofts.  Large, expansive, raw, and open in design- lofts these day seem to be more common than ever as either conversions or new-construction.  Though seemingly dramatic and aesthetically beautiful through the ‘rawness’ of [...]
