ACCESSORIES

Cellule

Check out this modular lattice wall: it can be mounted indoors or out and can expand as needed. The only catch is that it hasn’t been manufactured yet (I know, sorry) and will need a minimum amount of people to fund the project in order for it to become reality. So, if you’re interested, take a look at their site.

Borne out of the limitations of traditional wood slat lattice too large for downtown condominiums and apartments, Cellule is snapped together to allow climbing plants to grow in any complex urban space. At 183mm x 183mm (7.20” x 7.20”), it can quickly cover wall surfaces but is small enough to fit most environments and obstacles. Each module has mounting features for cable ties to attach to railings and a generous hole for screwing into wood, drywall, siding, brick, or concrete. Made from UV stabilized polypropylene, Cellule can be used indoors or outdoors and is fully recyclable. -joydevivre.org

sold in sets of 9 modules and caps. Mounting hardware is not included.

Niche Centerpiece

Such an interesting piece with a really reasonable price tag…

niche can quite simply be considered a domestic sculpture. the composition of formally complex pieces results in a unique and sinuous dovetail effect. as soon as you see niche you want to take a piece in your hands so you can feel what to the eye appears to be an attractive, sinuous and velvety object. it can be a centerpiece made up of 5 pieces, each of which can be used as an individual receptacle for sweets or chocolates, or it can be used on a desk to hold office stationery and pens. -unicahome.com

Whoa, I’d never seen this wine rack in multiples as shown in this picture. Pretty spectacular, though I don’t want to know how much it costs to fill that sized wall with that many racks.

fotoflōt

Not sure if you’ve heard of fotoflōt yet, but I recently received a sample (fall tree scene above) and am pretty pleased with the quality and appearance. I’m planning on switching it out to a personal photo once I decide on which one, but I thought I’d share with you in the meantime how it looks on a wall. It’s nice that no glass or frame is needed, giving more of a modern stream-lined look, and the magnetic attachment means you can easily cover up unsightly electrical boxes, as some people have done. You can use any of your online images from an existing account (like picasa, kodak gallery, etc.) or you can upload them directly into fotoflot’s site to create your image.

‘Patience’ and ‘Fortitude’ Sponges

I bet many of you can identify with Mr. Seifer and his feelings on dishwashing.

I need patience and fortitude to do my dishes.
Here in New York City I don’t have a dishwasher and my sink is really small.
Sponges arrive flat and expand in water. This is very entertaining to watch. Great for parties. You will receive two identical sponges. They read “patience” on one side and “fortitude” on the other.
Made in USA. –Reed Seifer

2 by 4 inches (5 by 10 cm.)

Glow Mirror

Hmm. Does anyone else find the android-like form in these photos unsettling? Coupled with the ‘Love me’ and the fingerprint, it brings to mind AI or something equally disturbing.

By the designer of the Full Moon Credenza, these striking mirrors are printed with ELI (Eco Light Inside), an eco-friendly, photo luminescent material developed by the designer, which creates a glowing effect when the lights go out.

Available in two versions, Fingerprint & I Love Me.

Natural Vases and Oval Jericho Mirror

The Jericho Mirror is a little creepy, and maybe that’s what makes it weird and interesting. The vases are simply lovely. (They’re from the same retailer, so that’s why they’re pictured together, plus my bookmarks folder is busting at the seams.)

Natural Vases, $75.00, Buy it here.

Our Natural Vases utilize the unique shape and grain of monkey pod wood to produce a stunning effect. Their crooked silhouette is an excellent means of displaying a flower or simple arrangement. Hand-carved and finished with natural wax to enhance to grain.
