Pixel Ottomans!

August 25, 2011  |  by Greenhouse  |  design  |  No Comments

Thankyou Amber from Down to the Woods, wholesaler of whimsy for creating such lovely ottomans for the home. Her collection is titled Little Lamb and I adore her wool rugs and garlands. Designed in Melbourne and 100% New Zealand wool, here are a few photographs of the colourful pieces, posted by the Life Instyle Trade Fair Blog

Hopefully the Greenhouse will be home to these woolen wonders in future!

Have a happy weekend. xo

Bocci at Noho Design Week, New York

Outdoor Lighting in a new light! This wonderful design was created by designer Omer Arbel of the Canadian company Bocci. This suspended chandelier required the assistance of a crane to construct the display in Noho. Isn’t it delightfully peculiar!

JR

August 16, 2011  |  by Greenhouse  |  design, personal  |  No Comments

Today a friend asked me, “Hey you know the artist JR, well-” I told her I was unaware of who JR was. I then received a look that said “Have you been living under a rock?” After looking at JR’s work I came to the conclusion, that yes I had been living under a rock. JR is the owner of one of the largest galleries in the whole world for the majority of his works are publicly displayed in the streets of various locations throughout the world. Hopefully you were not living under the same rock as I had!

One thing I paticular love about certain artists is their reasoning for producing the pieces, JR is indeed one of these artists. Not only does he create beautiful art and photography, his work helps underprivileged people and voices political objections. I hope you enjoy JR’s famous works, as much as I did today. Learn more about his messages & intentions of his projects here: http://jr-art.net/

Puzzled

The much loved Rubik’s Cube Mug is now in store! When I first saw images of the cube popping up on the web I thought it was plastic! A little concerned I wondered how people would drink their hot coffee with it, silly me. The mug is made of materials very different to an original Rubik Cube!

RETRO ARCADE SALT & PEPPER!

This is another incredible creation, the day I think of something like this to invent, I will be complete. Unfortunately we do not have these in store. Fingers crossed in the near future I will have convinced my boss and they will be ours!
