Kendra Binney.




Kendra Binney was raised in the small mountain town of Lakeside Arizona. Here she formed an early bond with the miniscule world of spiders, snakes and all things hiding in the grass. Practiced in the art of "catching pretty things" She transfers this closeness with the obscure and unnoticed into her paintings. Through scenes of dripping landscapes in which birds are remorseful killers, and the trees are unspoken thoughts , she displays her vision of nature, humanity, and the vulnerability of youth. Her work explores the seldom pondered architecture of lives draped in memories, remorse, and fragile realities

felt rocks by molo

you might see them as toys, you might see them as a unique decoration, or you might see them as a strangely compelling semi-natural oddity. all of the above would be correct.

in their raw form, a felt rock is technically a lump of felt formed when small bits of wool fluff gather while making polishing wheels for optical lenses, spun around in a drum with them.

Herblader Menu

Create space for the herbs: Herbs need light. With the Herbs Ladder they get light and at the same time they can almost be stacked on top of each other. And when the herbs have to be put on the table, you simply take the Herbs Ladder and place it horizontally on the dining table. And with night lights in the dishes, the Herbs Ladder becomes a beautiful lamp with candles.

Louise Campbell Veryround Armchair

'Veryround' is pleased to announce that it doesn't care much about what other chairs look like." (Louise Campbell)

"The design is based on the pleasure that can be found in repetition. Asingle circle is not particularly interesting, but 240 circles,meticulously organised until they form an entire chair, areinteresting. Although the chair as a whole appears to be incrediblycomplex, it is not. It consists simply of two layers, that are identical but for the varying scale. The outer layer - including itspattern - is 20% larger than the inner layer.
