DILMOS | SHOP | FURNITURE & PRODUCT

Dilmos was founded in 1980 as an exhibition space for designer furniture. Here are a few of my favourite finds from their limited collection. All these artists have been previously featured on the blog and I am particularly fond of Kiki Van Eijk, whose work just seems to strike a cord with me, love the element of fantasy and humour in her work, really great stuff!

CONOR CRONIN | DESIGN & ART DIRECTION

I am partial to a bit of arranging, and although its become a little bit of a 'trend' in design, I will always be partial to a little prop styling, and Barcelona based designer Conor Cronin has definitely nailed it. His whole portfolio is spot on and well worth a visit, there are some great identity jobs on there too!

THE MATTER OF THINGS | STOCKHOLM FURNITURE FAIR 2011

I came across these photographs from the exhibition The matter of things and fell in love with the pieces below, perhaps its because they have some sort of narrative quality to them and being an illustrator I seem to like objects that look like they have a story to tell, what ever the reason, its all lovely stuff... you can see more here

I'd love the cabinet below by Sofie Samuelson in my own home.






ART TO BUY FROM OCCUPY

Another nice thing about perusing Ideas to steal in the previous post was to see posts on my other half Mr Von and good friend Darren Firth's wonderful online print and originals store, Occupy. Well worth a peruse as there have been some wonderful recent additions to the shop...my favourites below
but see all new prints here and be sure to check out the excellent blog too whilst you're there.








BLOG LOVE | IDEAS TO STEAL

I discovered the delightful interior blog Ideas to steal over the weekend ... and spent most of my Sunday afternoon dribbling and getting inspired, below are a few of my favourite finds...I think the top one is from Gubi, previously posted here









THE SCIENCE OF ART

BEST OF THE REST | 3 ARMED FLOOR LIGHT

The ultimate iconic Serge mouille light  which retails at over $7000 has started a bit of an obsession with me to find the perfect...more affordable 3 armed floor light....

YELLOW SUBMARINE FIGURES | HEINZ EDELMANN





I have this issue of Eye Magazine knocking around on my shelves somewhere...but recently stumbled across this article online when I was searching for the work of Heinz Edelmann, the designer and illustrator behind the yellow submarine. the figurines are pretty awesome to say the least ... and well deserve a place in the issue named "cool stuff"for sure.

SARAH ILLENBERGER | HERMES WINDOW






Sarah Illenberger is without a doubt one of my favourite makers, I love how her work is so difficult to define, so varied but has such a strong identity as her own creation. Everything she touches turns to gold and these windows are no exception...I have to admit I am well jel..at the same time as being totally inspired!

Visit her site to be dazzled further here
