Looking at the chair from the front, it resembles a coffee cup sitting on a saucer silhouette. The backrest features a handle that can be used to hand a purse or a bag. “Coffee Chair makes you think of a cup of fragrant coffee. sneak peek: tara mangini & percy bright I’ve been awaiting this peek for quite a while. Ever since we saw a little of the spectacular transformations that Tara Mangini & Percy Bright accomplished on this 1915 Philadelphia row house (See Before & After: Percy’s Home Transformation Part 1 and Part 2), I was anxious to see the entire home. The couple has exquisite taste. Image above: All original doors and trim. Image above: We found a picture of an old Parisian paneled room that we fell in love with and decided to try to create one of our own. See more of Tara & Percy’s Philadelphia home after the jump!

Portal Turret LED Flashlight w/ Sound Original Furniture Set: 3D Coffee Table and Stools Martin Gallagher designed a coffee table set that we find clever and practical. Here is the press release we received from the project developers: “3D is a neat contemporary coffee table and stools based on solids and voids, cylindrical forms and modern architecture using high quality modern materials and vivid upholstery. Designed for modern living where space is of the up most importance, 3D is a modular piece of furniture. Its height and overall scale can be modified by adding or reducing the amount of plywood layers within the piece. The stools come upholstered in a wide palette of colors, but the option of having Birch plywood coloured seats is also available so that each stool can be used as side a table, therefore maximizing the design to its full potential“.
Checkpoint Charlie Hat This is a copy of a hat my friend Doc Pop brought back from (East) Germany. He got it near Checkpoint Charlie so that's what he calls it; to me it looks more like the hat Governor Tarkin is wearing when he gets insulted by Princess Leia. But either way it's cool. I made this from a thrift store blazer, rather than buying fabric new. For the brim, I use a piece of flexible clear plastic of the kind blister packages are made from. The only other material needed is a yard or so of quilt binding or wide bias tape for the inner hat band. Update: pix of one made from paper!
Twelve South BookBook, 15-inch Hardback Leather Case for 15-inch MacBook Pro, Red: Electronics YOUCH Piranha Plant Earrings by lizglizz Beautifully Shot Short Film About the Art of Letterpress Filmmaker Danny Cooke has just released a beautifully shot documentary about the art of letterpress. Called Upside Down, Left To Right: A Letterpress Film, it gives us an inside look at one of the few remaining movable-type printing workshops in the UK, at Plymouth University. When we asked Cooke why he created it, he told us this. "I sat outside the letterpress workshop on the University of Plymouth campus, whilst eating a sandwich and I peered in through the window intrigued at what a delicate process letterpress appeared to be and was inspired to make a film. "In the past, I have made documentaries about a traditional sign-writer and glass guilder and also a glassblowing studio, so I thought an outdated process such as letterpress would further add to this theme. I enjoy recording these crafts for historical purposes. "I wanted people to see how it was done back then, pre-digital means such as Illustrator or InDesign." Danny Cooke's website
