Reading Space Design - Kosha by Claudio D'amore | Trendir - Devina Divecha. Journalist. Reading Space Design - Kosha by Claudio D’amore It was with great passion that Claudio D’amore created the Kosha chair we see here. With this chair, design and wellbeing are strongly connected. Essentially, Kosha is not jus a chair, but a space. More specifically, a reading space.
Its precise ergonomic design allows for a seated retreat among your favorite literature. It’s almost like stepping into a special wooden vessel that promises ‘me time’ filled with relaxation and entertainment. This piece is waiting to be placed by a huge window in an open space, in a contemporary study or even in a garden. Like this: Like Loading... Author: Devina Divecha Journalist.

The Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs was jam packed during the recent Coachella fest (click here to see the arty goings on over on Poppytalk), but I'm wondering, did anyone stop to check out the hotel's cool macramé installation?
The knot-tastic curtain was created by designer Michael Schmidt - who's perhaps better known for his wardrobe work with the likes of Gaga, Fergie and Madonna - out of about a mile of cotton rope. And why not? It's definitely high time for macramé to come out of the dusty 70's craft closet and be re-imagined for today. To show that there's a bit of a thing happening with cord, rope and knots, take a look at Urban Outfitter's Beaded Treasures pillow as well as the rather stunning Pleats-Pleats sofa by young Swedish design and architecture studio, Imaginary Office.
[Images 1,3: courtesy Michael Schmidt] A Place for Pallets.. I have a pile of pallets my husband brought home from the transfer station. I keep changing my mind on what to do with them. These are just a few of the ideas that I have come across. Another idea is to use the wood as flooring which I am going to try in a small hallway. If you like the rustic look, this wood is right up your alley. Now to decide...... I would probably use something much stronger than string to hang the chair with.

In 2010 I could not get enough of vertical wall gardens, but already in this brand new year I'm feeling a kind of aesthetic shift towards something a little less structured and more exotic. Hanging gardens untethered to walls, with their artful trailing shapes and allusions to Babylon, might be just the thing.
Hanging plants may make you think of cheesy seventies-era macramé or precious moss-covered cottage garden planters (both of which, I might argue, possess their own charms), but in fact there are lots of interesting modern options for creating hanging gardens, ranging from sleek planters to the (less practical) artfully balled-up clods of dirt and roots.
String Gardens (pictured above), created by Amsterdam Redlight Design, are stunning little plots of planted earth that look as if they've been yanked right up out of the ground, defying gravity and exposing their lovely roots. Similar concept to the Sky Planters... Israeli Designer Talia Mukmel Makes Ephemeral Objects from Earth, Flour, Sand and String. Inspired by the crafts and basic materials used by African tribes, Israeli designer Talia Mukmel created a series of the funky, bumpy containers seen above. Made using knotting techniques like macramé and materials like earth, flour, sand and water, the decorative objects actually look more like bread or mozzarella than home decor. Quirky, biodegradable and ephemeral, Mukmel’s innovative “terra-cotta” containers mix old traditions, easily available materials and experimental new techniques.
To make these fantastic objects, the young designer first crafted macramé containers using a heat-proof tough string. Then she mixed and rolled the sand, water and earth with flour, which helps bind everything together, and wrapped the string basket with the dough. Lastly, she baked her creations in the oven for a few minutes. + Talia Mukmel Photo © Talia Mukmel. Enlarged Product Photo.

Modern Needlecraft. I'm seeing more and more knitting, crochet, and macramé utilized in home-decor products lately. But these aren't your grandmother's tissue cosies -- while still undoubtedly feminine and ornamental, the traditional needlecraft techniques are more likely to be applied in graphic ways to utilitarian materials and furnishings, giving the finished product a sense of freshness and humor that their matronly predecessors lacked. In addition to the macraméd chairs, knitted pillows, and crocheted light fixtures, hanging pendants, and pottery (top) that I've recently blogged here, several more industrial-meets-handicraft furnishings have caught my attention in recent weeks: The Macramé Lamp from Sweden's Pernilla Jansson is an art piece rather than a retail product. Still, I want one. This Macramé Hanging Shade, $168 from Anthropologie, is more "Granny Chic" than industrial, but has a somewhat modern sensibility thanks to the simple drum shape and all-white palette.
Modern Macramé. Modern Waterproof Wood Sinks And Tubs From UWD. ShareThis In 1979, UWD (Unique Wood Designs) began by building yachts, boats and canoes. After thirty years they had developed a very high quality boat-building and carpentry workshop, so they began looking ahead. Their experience and innovative ideas led them to envision a company that today is called Unique Wood Design and is a net of workshops cooperating with young creative designers.
They design and craft handmade wooden bathtubs and washbasins,a combination of their carpentry tradition and modern boat-building technologies. They developed a unique wood coating technique; numerous layers allow deep wood penetration with a coating that is outstandingly durable and fully waterproof. Their wooden bathtubs and washbasins are manufactured utilizing two carpentry technologies: hardwood - the most durable wood form, and veneer technology which allows a wider range of unique colors and effects. Here's a look at some of their most unique and beautiful pieces: Sinks: above: Kyla sink in Sapele.

The Nouveau Art Revival: 1900 - 1933 - 1966 - 1974 Philippe Thiébaut + Marie Dussaussoy, March 5, 2012 Forgotten, discredited even, for many decades, Art Nouveau was rehabilitated in the 1960s in a way that affected the history of art and the art market as much as contemporary creative work (design and graphics).
There were many reasons for this revival: tributes paid by the Surrealists in the 1930s, the Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition organised by the MoMA in 1940, major exhibitions put on in New York (Art Nouveau. Art and Design at the Turn of the Century, MoMA, 1959), and in Paris (Les sources du XXe siècle, Musée National d'Art Moderne, 1960).

It’s not everyday you can walk into a shop and come out with a vintage jelly mould reinvented as a pendant lamp, a Mexican bingo set, moose shaped firelighters and a deckchair.
