Am I crazy or is this coatrack so much better when it’s red? Maybe the color red makes it look more contemporary? Hmm? You be the judge.

While I am tempted to try making this myself, I know I won’t ’cause it would involve way too much effort on my part. Seems much easier to just pay some money and have it arrive at one’s doorstep bright, shiny and new. And look at the wonderful shadows! Each piece is hand formed in aluminum wire; available in different sizes.
Designer: Alex Berthiaume
Dimensions: 10″ x 12″ x 12″

This was designed as an affordable way to filter out the harsh light of a lone bulb. Attractive on one bulb, and even more so on several bulbs. This won an award in ID magazine.

The MoMA does an apt job of describing this vase, and since my brain is fuzzy I’ll let them give you the low-down:
“An inventive recycling of a familiar shape, this piece celebrates the industrial aesthetic of plastic packaging. The designer fashions this clever interpretation of the now ubiquitous water bottle in crystal-clear glass, resulting in a striking vase for flowers, carafe for water or other beverages. Hand washing recommended. Not intended for microwave use.”
Made in Portugal
Size: 12.5h x 3.25″ diam. 50 oz.
