Brooklyn Made.

May: What a month.  Design week in Brooklyn and Manhattan, freelancing, working on my apt, celebrating summer.  Also, is the font on this just big on my screen or everywhere?  Today I finally found the camera cord, so I'll kick it off with my faves from BKLYN Designs this year-

Funny and unpredicatable wallpaper from Grow House Grow.  Seen here in Ms. Treat and Ms. Ward, accordingly.


Geometric bliss in these awesome asymetric planters by Planter Worx.  These were also in Dwell's green issue a few months back, I think.  I love the patina that they get. Wait, or is that wood?


FRAMEicariums from Hugh Hayden Design and Katie Vitale.  Yes those are real ants slowly uncovering the art behind.

Just a Note

















rja
I came across this pic when looking through some firms' portfolios.  I'm very taken by the simplicity, despite how masculine it is.  I want my future house to be a little like this.  Could go either way on those globes though.
Also stumbled upon this incredibly achievable use of space in an apt in Prospect Heights.   Large-scale artwork makes an equally large impact, especially one as active as this.  I think the proportions of this work beautifully.
In other news, with design week approaching, things are starting to heat up, and I mean that in both ways.  Accordingly, I'm trying to purchase a bicycle today (finally). 
Have a wonderful sun-filled Saturday, and I'm looking forward to posting a slew of NY inspiration in the coming weeks!
