Marketing for Squarespace Blogs - Big Picture Web - - (Private Browsing) Ones to Watch: Apparatus Studio - 2012-12-26 05:00 Apparatus Studio, founded by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson "It really started by accident," says Gabriel Hendifar of the lighting collection he created with partner Jeremy Anderson under the name Apparatus Studio. Hendifar, a former fashion designer, and Anderson, who worked in PR, had just moved in together in Los Angeles. While in the midst of redecorating, they both became frustrated that there simply weren't any lighting fixtures to fit their needs. "We wanted something with a modern form but a sense of soul and age and imperfection in material," says Hendifar. And so out of aesthetic necessity Apparatus Studio was born. "It really started by word of mouth. The designers, now relocated to New York, work with artisans to handcraft the metal and wood pieces, but assemble everything themselves in their studio. In 2012 they debuted their first collection at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York. Ones to Watch: Solomonoff Architecture Studio
Effective Minimalism in Experience Design | UX Booth - (Private Browsing) Minimalism. It’s not easy to complete a study of successful minimalism. For starters, the more effective examples there are of “minimalism in action,” the less material there is for us to study. Nevertheless, minimalism is a guiding aesthetic behind some of today’s best websites. Minimalism’s greatest strength is clarity of form; clean lines, ample white space, and minimal graphical elements lend an air of simplicity to even the most confounding subject matter. Some minimalist sites forget that easy navigation is always one of the top goals of web design. This is why a beautiful minimalist site combined with great usability is so impressive: an easily navigated, simple site can be a very powerful form of communication. The art of minimalism Minimalism exists all around us: in architecture, fashion, sculptures, graphic design, painting, literature, music, and other applied fields…the list goes on and on. Minimalism has its roots in post-World War II America. Palmito Ranch Jeff Croft Hermes
Pathways too small? TV too big? With this pro arrangement advice, you can create a living room to enjoy happily ever after Arranging and rearranging. Everyone has an individual preference when it comes to arranging furniture. Some people like to take their time and plan out every detail. For those, Leland suggests starting off with a scaled drawing of the space, measuring the existing furniture and making to-scale cutouts of each piece to play with. "It's much easier on your back to rearrange on paper than to physically move the furniture," she says. There's a different route for those who prefer to be spontaneous.

DIY ingenuity and a talent for thrifting help a Texas performer make the most of her modest rental The living room area is an unexpected mix of patterns, styles and art. Harms says, "Once I hung the record albums, paintings and mirrors on my walls, this place felt like a home." The floral chintz sofa was purchased at a church parking lot sale, and the midcentury-style coffee table was procured for $3 at a thrift store. "My style just sort of happened," she says.
