met_hisey.jpg
+ We are looking forward to seeing Bev Hisey’s new hand-knotted rugs at ICFF. The rugs are inspired by oil paintings her grandmother did in the 1950s and are as effective as wallhangings as floorcoverings.

met_fold.jpg
+ This origami-inspired dish by Rachel Young called Fold is a polypropylene fruit bowl (or centerpiece for dry articles) that has been carefully hand-folded.

met_changetable.jpg
+ Frank & Stanimira Rafaschieri have designed a change table for babies that will suit the adults as well, as there is a place for the adult to sit while changing the baby in the walled sectioned that can later be reversed to fit into the seat.

Florian Kräutli has sent us his newest projects, the Magnetic Curtain above and Animal Chairs. Says Florian, the Magnetic Curtain is "A curtain which you can shape to any form", magnets embedded in the curtain fabric allow the user to shape the curtain innumerable ways, both open and closed. His Animal Chairs have metal skeletons beneath its upholstery made of recuperated metal; "I found [the metal] in the dump based on anatomical rules. Like an archaeologist who finds a dinosaur skeleton.".

Vintage Tapestry Lunchbox
Posted by sabine7 Accessories | 01 Feb 08 | Comments (2)

Inspired by her grandmother’s needlework, Frédérique Morrel was upset that it was discarded when she passed away. This has been her motivation for salvaging vintage tapestries to create 0ne-of-a-kind soft furnishings and accessories. Frédérique Morrel products are a mix of needlework themes: idyllic alpine scenes are juxtaposed with old masters or cartoon kittens. The lunchbox above is a clever take on typical fast food containers, and there is a great cabin-chic lamp after the jump.
