Ghost Furniture Boudoir Set is Dead Furniture Resurrected!

Yuka Yoneda — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:58:30 +1600

If you like Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Chair, we think you’ll also enjoy this vintage boudoir set that’s ghastly not because it’s clear, but because it was raised from the dead! That’s right, this beautiful piece started life as a music cabinet found in a Parisian flea market, but was then taken into the care of the designers at Ghost Furniture and unexpectedly paired with a gorgeous ornate frame found laying lifelessly at a Northumbrian vintage fair. Both pieces have been finished in a matte soft dusky pink and Regency Gold paint, specially mixed in France.

Satisfy your paper fetish and support teen mentoring at the same time

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:01:57 +1600

Even if you don't love letterpress (who doesn't love letterpress?), you'll want to get behind this teen mentoring initiative, School: By Design, which pairs designers with high school students in a 6-week program to "redesign their school." The most innovative project created during the program receives a $10,000 award for implementation.

To support the School: by Design, 25 leading letterpress printers each created 50 limited edition notebooks with Loop paper donated by Mohawk. They are being sold on a special storefront on Felt & Wire Shop. 100% of the proceeds benefit the kids. Make your way over and check out the goods.
