Carved Wood Birds by Roost
Written by Katie on February 22, 2008. Permalink
While Roost has done many a carved animal, including a Carved Wood Deer Head and many wall-worthy Carved Wood Trophy Heads, now they’ve applied their expertise to a collection of birds.
“Various carved wood birds flock together in Roost’s feather-free
menagerie. These life-like and in some cases life-size birds are
hand-carved from solid basswood. The wood is left unfinished to
highlight its natural grain. Minor assembly required.”

Domestic Trophies
Written by Katie on January 25, 2008. Permalink
Here’s a fuzzy art piece that’s quite a different take on the traditional hunting trophy. Rachel Denny hand makes these trophies in her studio, so each will be unique in color and pattern. There’s also some angora rabbits she’s working on that are worth taking a look at.
Domestic Trophy (deer mount) series are between $500 and $600 depending on size and intricacy.

Skulls have kind of fallen off the design radar (thankfully) which means you die-hard goth fans can now distinguish yourselves once again.

Felt Birds

This would be a delightful way to add some energy and movement to a blank space in a room.
Each bird is 6″ long, with a 4″ wingspan, and comes with a 15.5″ satin ribbon. (When the ribbon is doubled up, the bird hangs at a distance of about 7″.)

Heart by Renate Hattinger Keramik
Written by Katie on January 2, 2008. Permalink
I just saw the
Think Tank designed by Renate Hattinger Keramik on
notcot.org, which led me to the Golden Heart pictured above. Absolutely one of the best things I’ve seen; my only wish is that it would a bit more affordable.
“Golden Heart is part of the series Human Interior. Human Interior are porcelain containers in form of the central human organs, heart and brain. The highly specialized organs heart and brain designed by nature are symbols for life, intelligence, love. The invisible inside becomes visible and gets a concrete emotional meaning by careful processing and refinement of the object’s surface. The objects are not only to be admired on pedestals and in showcases but to be used and filled.”
13 x 15 x 14 cm

Cardboard Safari 3D Animal Puzzles
Written by Katie on December 6, 2007. Permalink
The whole antler thing has taken the world by storm, but not many of us can afford (or want) to deck out our halls with the real thing, much less some very excellent designer interpretations. So, if you’ve got that antler itch, or know someone who does, here are some great cardboard versions that are at a very friendly price tag. They’re sure to add character to a room along with some amused glances and inquiries from visitors.
Deer, Moose, or Rhino (not pictured) available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes.

Are you ever sick of your TV just sitting there when you’re not watching it? Do you want it to be more useful? Perhaps a design object? Well then, the people at Atypyk have the solution for you: an electrostatic removable sticker for your TV screen.
I assume this wouldn’t work with plasma screens, only with glass.

Felt Rocks by Molo
Written by kris & katie on October 2, 2007. Permalink
“in their raw form, a felt rock is technically a lump of felt formed when small bits of wool fluff gather while making polishing wheels for optical lenses, spun around in a drum with them.
with steam and pressure, each stray piece of wool begins to entangle itself with others roughly creating a completely unique rock-like shape without the help of any bonding agents.
each felt rock is then carefully selected by molo and then finished through their own process.
felt rocks are solid all the way through, made out of 100% pure wool felt, and carefully dyed. they come in hand selected sets of 5 ( 2 natural and 3 grey, or 2 moss green and 3 grey ) and are packaged in a natural grey wool felt bag.
each one is completely unique with a different shape and size, although most measure around 4 โ 6 inches across.”
