Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]

I was lucky enough to have a babysitter on Saturday so I could visit my favorite hang-out, Ikea. In addition to perusing kitchen cabinets for my upcoming gutting of my microscopic kitchen, I took some photos of some of my favorite pieces.
I really love the way Ikea creates the vignettes of actual spaces. Some of [...]

The anchoring philosophy of Botanist furniture is the “blank canvas.” What this means is taking a technologically advanced but sustainable piece of furniture that is simple - then giving the twist of different colors, finishes and graphics that make them fresh and new, upgradeable from season to season.
The Process:
Each piece starts as a flat [...]

Last summer I passed along a cover story in AM New York about a “McMansion under construction in the historic Broadway-Flushing/Murray Hill neighborhood of Queens [that] pitted neighbors versus John Hsu,” who was building a house in a style at odds with his neighbors. An article in this week’s New York Magazine recounts how [...]
The idea of a “folding facade” is not entirely new. Shuttered exteriors have traditionally been used in various locales for protection from the elements, from New Orleans to New England in the United States, and in most other parts of the globe. What separates the newfound use of a folding perimeter to the traditional use [...]
