The Accidental Curator

Feeling Bearish

With 2008 we see the transition from stag heads to…well…bear heads, and floral ones at that. No it’s not homage to the Grateful Dead; merely the continued fascination for vegan friendly trophy walls, a trend that continues to resonate with urban dwellers and goes well with the renewed interest in baroque inspired interiors.

Cytoplasm Hanging Planter

I love this planter...it somehow remains soft, elegant and amazingly modern all at the same time. Perfect for indoors or out, it could be hung from trees in the summer to complete an outdoor garden area. Each planter links together so that it can either be hung in dramatic groupings or singularly for a more subtle effect. A perfect accent to any interior.

Draw Your Own Furniture

http://www.frontdesign.se/sketchfurniture/

Swedish design firm Front has created a pen that allows you to sketch your own furniture. Each stroke of its special light pen is recorded by a Motion Capture System where it is translated into a 3-D file and built layer by layer out of a liquid plastic. This soft plastic is then hardened by a quick blast from a laser and volia...your doodle has been transformed into a conversation inducing reality.
