+ Studio Bility has created a new small book shelf called fairy-tale. "You remove the book for reading and the 'fairy-tale' begins.".
+ Kim Thome sent us 'Mike the moose', a decorative wall mounted moose head made with yellow dexion and 'Shelf with a twist', decorative shelves with "several horizontal planes for objects to rest on.".
+ Gabrielle Lewin's new Spearpicks stainless steel cocktail spears for Nambé. Says Lewin, "The notion of the spear itself as a sharp, and even dangerous object, is contrasted by the warm elegance of this piece, which instead resembles a blooming flower...".

+ Dellis Cay, a private island resort in the Caribbean is being designed by architects Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Kengo Kuma, Piero Lissoni, and Carl Ettensperger. That's the Piero Lissoni hotel (above left) and a Zaha Hadid villa (right).
+ I saw this earlier today on designboom and then it popped into my email box this afternoon. It's a unique armchair that swivels and flexes. Watch the video. It's designed by Nó design studio in Brazil for Decameron Design. Says Léo from Nó, "All of our creations bring a story and a lot of Brazilian culture like movement, multfunction, colours, artcraft, happiness.".
which "plane" would you use for the delicate china figurines?
A fake moose head trophy on a plaque ? again??
Is it just me or is this moose/deer/freakin'gazelle thing is becoming less and less moco?
Personally not loco about it anyway.
The knife is nice though.
Fred, I think this pretty much signals the end of that "m/d/f'g thing", which is why I put it in there.
I like the spear picks very much. The contrast between the sharp point and the organic bloom is very clever.
Hmm Harry, what does Moco Loco mean any way?
DT: Mocoloco = Crazy About Modern Contemporary. or something along these lines.
DT, Fred's got it, Mo = Modern, Co = Contemporary, Loco = crazy. If you know Spanish you'll also have a good chuckle. ;)
I like the fairy tale book shelf, don't really look much of use but really creative.
the moose is amazing moosehead fred!
