Egg-cellent

My mind is on Spring. Fresh air, open windows, bright flowers, and finally enjoying the outdoors without a parka on -- preferably with these lining my deck.

The Glowing Gregg from Foscarini. Made from free-blown glass and available in 3 sizes, Foscarini describes Gregg with the loving language of a parent: “An organic, elegant and familiar shape that does not use pure geometry as its point of reference.”

Maybe the Easter bunny will drop a few in my basket.

Mies van der rohe
Time to rejoice: a two-year reconstruction of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's iconic Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic was recently completed - and it looks spectacular. The modern masterpiece is one of the most famous houses in the Czech Republic, and after a restoration and reconstruction project that included everything from the structure of the building down to the door hinges and furniture, the historic home has been reopened and is ready for its close-up.

Does that come in XXL?

Altesse

I know the Alice in Wonderland thing has been done over, and over, and over again, but I still love it.  The whimsy and fantasy mixed with solid design. And in this case, amazing colors.

The Altesse Oversized Patio Chairs are made from polyethylene, are weather resistant and completely recyclable. Altesse, which stands for “highness” should be perfect for outdoor use although they may also be considered for indoor use.

Color your kitchen

I LOVE this!

Bored with stainless steel and lack of color in your space? Steel S.p.A. and designer Alcide Po must have understood what that felt like before they designed and introduced a range of cookers and hoods that features the contemporarydesign of the Genesi refrigerator.
