I’m obsessed with these lights. A simple rod and bulb similar to the one below goes for approx $600, which is a little extortionate if you ask me, but man…these are great!

I absolutely love London designer Phil Cuttance‘s Faceture project. He has built a machine to cast faceted vases, lamps, and the list goes on. It consists of pouring a water-based resin into a simple mould which hardens as it dries. If these images weren’t pretty enough, there’s is a video! Click HERE to see it, it’s so much fun!

Jill Malek’s Luci Della Citta hand screen printed wallpaper. How much do we love this pattern? The soft palate, the dots that look like out of focus snow flakes or lights in a hazy picture. It’s so calm and romantic, it’s simply beautiful.

Malek, based out of New York, specializes in print and pattern for anything from printed books and stationary to textiles and wallpaper. Check out her website for more beautiful prints!

Here’s Ta-Ze, a sweet little olive oil shop designed by Burdifilek, here in Toronto. I love the olive tree branches and leaves graphics on the wall and the thin framed shelving on the. The mosaic flooring is equally stunning. Clean and fresh is where it’s at! It also helps that the packaging is lovely as well!

While I’m feeling quite chipper as usual, these are some spaces that could hold a different tune. I love the dark rooms – there is something moody, dignified and mysterious about them.

I never thought much of macrame until I fell upon these pictures – this knotting style has been popping up right and left. I love the headboard! It gives a sort of bohemian/vintage look that’s so sweet. The plant hangers and lighting are also lovely. Is this trending? Because I’d be ok with that!

Today’s covet are these large tilting bowls designed by Staffan Holm, a Swedish multi-faceted designer. These will be featured at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm in February.

I’m surprisingly loving this graphically stunning tableware by CTRLZAK art an design studio for Italian brand Seletti. The inspiration here is the bridging of traditional chinese porcelain and European design aesthetic. Why not? It works! It’s sweet, hip, and with it.

London designer Paul Cocksedge, one of my favourite lighting designers might I add, has created this beautiful 25 meter sculpture titled “Bourrasque” in Lyon, France, for the recent Fête des Lumières.

I have always been a fan of his work, and this one is nothing short of magical. the 200 suspended sheets are set to mimic papers scatteringin a gust of wind – a beautiful bright image against a backdrop of the 17th century architecture of l’Hotel de Ville. Simply beautiful.

May 2012 bring you a year of health, wealth, happiness, luck, warmth, and most of all…good design. xo
