the interior mind is taking a short break

But I'll be back with a whole new format in about a week... hold tight :)

the merry-go-round in the forest

This enchanting holiday cottage, dubbed the "Merry-go-Round" is the work of Dutch firm Ira Koers.

The tiny studio - complete with two closet-like "bedrooms" - is designed so that all the interior rooms open to a perimeter-wrapping hallway.

I love it.

a look for a rainy wednesday

what do you want to do tonight?

Sometimes it's okay to take a break from design... and a little time to consider that "Pinky and the Brain" is now considered "vintage."

dizzy with design

THIS is the Hanse Colani Rotor House... yup... rotor like "rotate."

That's cause the home's central feature is a rotating cylinder - like something out of the Jetsons - that packs a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The cylinder is rotated left or right to bring the desired room-du-jour into view of the main living area.



I can't decide how I feel about this one. On one hand, German-based Hanse House has created one visually stunning design for a low-impact and very earth-friendly home-in-one... but I'm thinking it's not the most practical thing I've ever seen.

pop out cutlery

Check out these great cutlery sets by London-based designer Oscar Diaz...

The design is called Found, for obvious reasongs; Diaz cuts the shapes from recycled plastic bottles, without need for molding or shaping. Then, he coats each piece in copper and then tinplates each for a shiny finish.

unfaithful

As I look over my shoulder, at the dreary four-foot width of my bed... I get to fantasizing. We've been in this rather unhealthy relationship ever since I moved into this cramped little room in July... and, it's not cheating if I just look at other beds... right?

I wonder if this hot mess would ever even look at me, let alone come back to my bedroom:



Oh, all Tom-foolery aside, it's the BRAND NEW Case Study Alpine Series Bed from Modernica and I am DEFINITELY cheating on my current bed with it.
