Fire!

February 2nd, 2009

fire-light.jpgI collect tea lights. When entertaining, they create a festival of dancing lights in every room. Even with dozens of them that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped buying them though, and this is my latest purchase, the “Fire” tea light from Unison designed by Nathalie Lahdenmäki, it immitates the light and atmosphere of traditional Finnish winter ice lanterns. The light seeps through the ceramic foam which resembles ice and creates a beautiful soft glow in your own home. $45. Don’t worry, I left a few for others.

Holiday Shopping At The Storeroom

December 11th, 2008

STOREROOM_invite.jpgFor all of you who are in wonderful San Francisco at the moment, you shouldn’t miss the Storeroom for all your holiday shopping. A brilliant idea by the fabulous folk over at Citizen Citizen, the Storeroom features some of the best selection of design inspired gifts we’ve seen in a while at up to 50% less than your usual retail. Now if that isn’t an incentive that’s hard to come by these days. So, with that said, head over to 2226 Bush St at Filmore and start shopping. Oh, and if you go tonight, Dec 11, then you can enjoy some lovely drinks, courtesy of California Home and Design magazine. Just rsvp to rsvp at the-storeroom dot com. Enjoy!

James the Doorman

James_the_Doorman.jpgHe’s cute, right? So-named “James the Doorman” – from Black & Blum – holds open a door (duh) or whatever task you set him to. Available at the Japanese site, SEMPRE. I expect Charles brought one back from his recent visit to Tokyo, along with other goodies we’ve never seen. Color me envious.
