name of the article in New York Times’ ‘The Moment’ blog post on Jason Miller and his Superordinate antler chandelier.

love how they can be multiplied to make such a large piece.

the only thing cuter than supercool babies are supercool babies that dress like their supercool parents.

since people are making christmas lists, figured i’d make a dream home wish list..
here’s what i’ve got so far:


grey walls in my bedroom. in fact, so grey, they look black. so lovely.


a dining room SLASH library SLASH wine cellar. even if i’m not big on wine.

so the list is a bit specific so far… but details matter. : )

ran into the loveliest book at barnes & noble today, and had to buy it. (seems books are my impulse purchases.)
am feeling a little lazy tonight, so am letting the cover scan give you the information. : )


i wonder how long it took him… reminds me of this post i did a bit ago.

had a debate (with my favorite debater in the world : ) ) the other day about the color black.
he says that as long as someone wears all black, it’ll always be the same look.
i refuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse.

Aqua Tower, a recently completed project by Studio Gang Architects in Chicago… so beautiful how something that’s clearly a rigid structure can look so fluid.

was reading a magazine (think it was InStyle), and saw images of Francisco Costa’s home. he’s the designer for Calvin Klein, and judging from his work, you’d expect lots of stark white and hard edges.. but it actually is quite cozy.

anyhow, the greatest part about his home is the artwork he collects. one of my favorites was his collection of Guillermo Kitca’s work. This artist uses architectural & cartographical techniques to make his images…

Guillermo Kitca : Red Theater


this is actually a map of the seating arrangements in an opera theater.. how lovely.

Finding this image online got me on the hunt for more beautiful maps, and found these two:

Guillermo Kitca : Untitled (2008)

Mark Bradford : The Flies

A.M. : NYPL

spot the amateur above… it’s me. : )
that was a library mapping i did with a friend in school a few years ago… after seeing the other works, i’d love to make it more dense. putting it on my to-do list.

photos of Nomiya, a restaurant project on the roof of Palais de Tokyo in Paris.. has an incredible view of The Eiffel Tower.
it only seats twelve, so makes for a nice cosy dinner..
and it closes in July (2010)… figure if i start walking now, i can make it in time. : )
