The Miller House
On the way back from ICFF last week I had the opportunity to spend two days in the small but wonderful town of Columbus Indiana. I spent a day at a symposium about the Miller House, and the following day I had the opportunity to tour the home. Amazing would be an understatement. I don't think there is any way to truly appreciate it without being there, but you should watch the video above and check out the photos that dwell took for their article a couple months ago. While you are at it, make sure you add a visit to your bucket list.
This chandelier reminds me a bit (okay, a lot) of the 
I spent a lot of time in Brooklyn on this last trip to NYC, and I'm missing it dearly. This 22" screenprint from the

It seems most people just use their cell phones these days (guilty as charged!), but if you're looking for an actual alarm clock for your bedside table this solid aluminum number may be the way to go. Available in three colors (black, white, or red), this glass-faced alarm is beautifully understated and perfectly minimal. Designed by Jasper Morrison for Punkt.
The "Stacking Throne" was a one-off, privately commissioned piece designed by Laurens van Wieringen, but I really love the idea of a modular chair that can grow with your child or even be used as a toy of sorts. This version is made from foam with a sturdy wood and steel base. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how everything stays together (especially when used as a high chair), otherwise it seems like a pretty great idea. Thoughts?

I just rolled back into town last night and I'm still sorting through all the great things I saw at ICFF and on the roadtrip home. One piece that did stand out for me at the show was this
I cannot tell you just how much I love this hanging planter from Potted! It's perfectly mod, perfectly hip, and, well, just plain perfect! This curvy little ceramic number is available in White, Aqua, Orange, or Avocado and comes with an 18" steel cord for hanging. At 12" in diameter, it would look pretty swell on a tabletop, too (the hanging cord is removable).
Kate Tucker is a recent graduate of Victorian College of the Arts in Australia, and if her budding portfolio is any indication, there are definitely some great things to come! I love her mixed media pieces (pictured in this post) the most, and at 60x60 inches, they are certainly impactful! Check out more of her work and let me know what you think.
After ICFF, it's clear that brass is making a serious comeback. Now I can't help but spot it everywhere, even in the smallest of accessories like these textured chopstick holders by designer Masanori Oji, for example. Created in collaboration with one of Japan's oldest metalware manufacturers, Futagami, these lovelies are made from solid brass and come in a beautiful gift/storage box. Aren't they gorgeous?? I'm rather smitten by them!
The more simple something gets, the more every little detail counts. So when you have a table that is nothing more than a glass top and some legs, they better be some kick ass legs. I think the Sinus Tishbock table legs pull it off just fine. Designed by Germany based L & Z the Sinus Tischbock leg is just as functional as it is attractive. The compound curves give it a weight limit of over 600 lbs each. It is available in black, white, blood orange (shown) or chrome. € 185.00
One of the most fantastic things I saw at ICFF was called 
Gone are the days when you need wires to hook your speakers up to your stereo. I have seen a few wireless speakers before, but never any as good looking as these by 
One of my favorite collections at ICFF this year was from Brooklyn-based furniture makers UM Project. I simply couldn't resist their playful combination of colors, form, and material! More specifically, I fell hard and fast for the 
So in the next couple of days I'll be taking a road trip back from NYC to SLC. I figure I'll drop by
