Boxetti's concealed, fold-down wall bed concept. Cool
"Boxetti Private contains the set of basic bedroom functions –a double bed, night stand and a wardrobe. The foldaway bed platform is automatically lifted by a remote control, together with a built-in night stand. The unit is equipped with a spotlight and an ambience lighting fixture above the headboard. The integrated wardrobe consists of six sections including shelves, drawers and a clothes rail. "
just think about all the space you'd have for activities!
--I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me--
This particular aesthetic isn't really my thing (personally) but im not entirely bored by it. I'm doing trend research for F/W 2013/14 (which basically means looking at stuff for a long time) and there's a strong focus on modest, humble, artisanal workmanship. Slow development, revaluing vintage and functional design.
Prepare to see a lot of ‘inspired’ rip off's over the next couple of years.
My wife was once an interior designer, now she is a stay at home mom getting a little stir crazy.
With 2 small kids, we haven't had a coffee table in years, a great way to avoid trips to the ER.. but then there is nowhere to put our adult beverages.
She decided to design a line of child-safe, custom (high-end) green furniture.
She has designed a bunch of miniatures, but this is her first prototype:
Wood veneer, cork, and center can all be customized finishes/colors/textures.
Hopefully this works out for her, she needs something to make her feel productive & creative again.

That is seriously fresh!!
If you're like me and don't watch where you're going you'd stub toes like buggery when walking around that table. but maybe if it was raised about 3inches off floor it would be cool. and if the legs were thicker it would still be relatively stable.
We have a few more prototypes coming next month, I gotta get off my ass and launch her website & social accounts.
Pretty shitty of me to drag ass on that since I'm a digital marketer and all....
but it's football season.

Drue, that coffee table is amazing.
A great design for a family.
Here is some of Leslie Williamson's interior photographies of
some great designers houses.
Russel Wright's din din room
Wharton Esherick’s bedroom. I dunno who this guy is
but I like dat space. Looks good.
Vladimir Kagan’s living room
Last one is Nakashima's Reception house.
I enjoy that Nakashima very much.
This piece! Here is a short little read about dude, for ya'll who are interested.
IMO dude was a bad ass, was in an internement camp were
he learned his craft from a japanese carpenter who ya know...taught him traditional
japanese carpentry.
His belief was that
''each plank cut from a tree had only one ideal use and
it is the woodworker’s responsibility to find that use and
shape the wood to realize its true potential."
This little post is also a (longer) good read about dude and his career.
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers
about originality will ever be original: whereas
if you simply try to tell the truth
(without caring twopence how often it has
been told before) you will, nine times out
of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
Also who the heck goes to an internment camp
and thinks 'I am just gonna learn traditional japanese carpentry.'
Not me. I'd be like 'ah I am in an internment camp. This blows. :['
Another japanese designer, Noguchi, made dis
iconic coffee table you see everywhere cuz there is a bunch
of terrible knock offs. The piece was orginally commisioned by Robsjohns Gibbons
who later thought that because Noguchi was in an internment camp
he could sell the design himself with out passing down any money to Noguchi.
Originally there was three legs to the table, when Noguchi found out it was being sold he
re made the table with two and got it picked up from herman miller.
Bad ass move Noguchi. Bad. Ass. Move.
A favorite! The Miller house. Worked on by Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard, and Dan Kiley.

Here is a video. I dont know what it says cuz I gots no volume
on the compooter. But the shots of the house, inside, and landscaping is good.
You can see how everything relates and makes the house awesome.
If you do the tumblr thing this is a great blog that shares
the process of this house being made. There's a lot of letters the designers wrote
requesting cabinet work, lighting all that. Tis neat.
Ok ok. I am done.

Perhaps I should join my wife in creating designs (^^like that rape couch^^)
I'm meeting with a Venture Accelerator today to discuss the options of growing my wife's furniture design company. small, local, or national. Dump my $ into it, or take on investors... etc.
Our original builder flaked, so we are actively searching for new craftsmen who can work with copper & cork.
