For Art’s Sake

Herr Design — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:01:22 +0000

Encino has pockets of mid-century houses. But this San Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles is generally lacking in cutting-edge design of a more recent vintage. A car ride up curving Sapphire Drive dispels that impression. Dramatically bridging the 1960’s and today is a glass-and-steel gallery added to an Edward H.

World Traveler

Herr Design — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 11:01:11 +0000

Kente cloth and classical architecture put Matthew Patrick Smyth equally at ease—such is the stylistic and technical versatility flaunted in this interior designer’s carpet debut at Patterson, Flynn & Martin. Tribal beats echo in Kent, although the wool is hooked, farmhouse-style. Conversely, plaster moldings spawned Ogden Blue, hand-tufted in wool and viscose, and Ogden Espresso, in …

Staying between the lines is so passé. Textile specialist Philippe David shoots for spontaneity in his latest for Texstyle. Like a painter giving his brush free rein, he pushes his rug empire past the 60-pattern mark with the fireballs of Feu and the loosely assembled squares of Back Splash. Available in hand-tufted or hand-knotted silk or New Zealand wool, in any size or color.

Elementa Spa from Sieger Design and Dornbracht

Herr Design — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:01:48 +0000

The Elementa Spa from Sieger Design combined with the Ritual Architecture of Mike Meiré results in an environment usually reserved for the most exclusive spas. The theme of the “Elemental Spa” is archaic and original with the element of water changing its surroundings. Water can make a place unique and that is why the Elemental Spa from Dornbracht makes water the center of attention as it becomes the starting point for personal and shared rituals in physical and mental cleansing, and makes the bathroom a refuge for the soul. This forward thought bathroom collection includes waterfall faucets, rain shower fixtures, and a wall mounted single level mixer for a most luxurious experience. See more of the Elemental Spa from Dornbracht here.

Folding Barstools for Small Spaces

Herr Design — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:01:22 +0000

Folding barstools are a great idea in small spaces as they can be put away when not in use. This product called “pocket stool wood” was designed by Robby Cantarutti & Francesca Petricich. The spirit of the design was to create a pocket-size barstool for smaller places. A nice feature about this product is the fact that it is made of beech where so many folding barstools today are not made of real wood. More information: here.

All That Jazz

Herr Design — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:00:51 +0000

Design is often improvisation, a veritable next-of-kin to the spontaneous riffs of Satchmo, Lady Ella, and Trane. It was that parallel that inspired Kate Korten to channel her partiality for upbeat prints and assertive colors into Improv, a 10-pattern set for the Aláxi brand at Silver State. But what’s key about this textile homage to jazz culture is that the jam session takes place in the…

It’s no sweat for neutrals to withstand open-air extremes, but saturated tones are generally fair-weather friends. Boldly defying conventional outdoor wisdom, however, Vondom ’s Jut furniture is made of low-density polyethylene rotation-molded to retain its vividness no matter how punishing the elements.
