Designage
the age of designArchive for design (ers)
sex-on-wire
michael anastassiades (say that three times fast!) has been around forever, but we still get chills around his stellar lighting. here are a few favorites:
hot tip
portland-based graphic design firm makelike is branching into the home decorating biz, and their hand-screenprinted wallpaper has got our motor running.
everything in the first collection is based on the cactus and its softer cousin the succulent. cheeky.
quilting flea
one of the more exciting things to come out of the already-thrilling brooklyn flea down the street (!) are the map quilts by emily fischer of haptic lab. her tone-on-tone cotton blankets retrace maps of brooklyn neighborhoods, from fort greene to red hook.
don’t worry, manhattan brethren, fischer will be adding downtown neighborhoods to the a la carte menu in november. until then – custom order or snag a pillow.
pour some sugar on
yvonne nieworth, a graphic designer based in dusseldorf, created a series of packaging for vanilla pudding packets. we love the variations on an unusual theme.
stoned love
we were unsure about the pebble collection from osko + deichmann, but the more we look at at the colorful, bubbly pieces, the more we want to pat them on the head. which doesn’t mean we’d upholster them in leather.

get lit
lindsay adelman 9-globe bubble lamp, like a craftier, exploded version of the sputnik. see versions on a theme here.
matthias pliessnig
we cannot get these images out of our little heads. matthias pliessnig is our idol, both in design and in fabrication.
