Dear world,
I would really like this Henrik Vibskov Coat from Assembley New York. Its down to just $198 from $388. For now, I'll dream about it....
So today has been a great day for me discovering new design and manufacturers. This afternoon, I stumbled across the website of Vladimir Kagan. His furniture is WONDERFUL! His sofas are just to die for. I perticularly like his Free Form Sofa, or Floating Curve Sofa. Next time I have $50,000 burning a hole in my wallet (heh!)...
Above are my favorite examples of his work, mostly from the 1950's. Be sure to check out his website though, as his furniature varies quite a bit, and included here are the smaller simpler pieces. Even though I have already mentioned them above, be sure to notice the classic collection sofas... they are just beautiful.
- Brass setting.
- Crystal rhinestone insets.
- Wristlet.
- Tassel detail.
- 3 1/2"H x 3 1/2"W x 3 1/2"D.
- Made in Italy.
A mere $2,495.00 at Bergdorf Goodman.
I have no idea what I would do with it. Maybe it would be just the thing to carry weed in. Perhaps I could wear it around my neck and keep my keys in there so I never loose them. It would also be perfect to whip around on that little chain and whack any potential attacker with. I guess that's how I should justify it. I need it for my safety. So....... go buy it for me!!
Here are some sweet pieces of furniture designed by Olivier Mourgue. What happened to the future??!
Olivier Mourgue was born in Paris, France in 1939. He is an industrial designer and landscape architect. His work appeared in Stanley Kubrick's 2001 a space Odyssey as the furnishings for the Hilton rotating hotel in Space.
I need his human shaped chaise lounge.
I stumbled agross this gem today obsessively googling Mercedes w114's. I am trying very hard right now to stay distracted until 7:00 when I buy my Mercedes. I am so excited, I could scream!
I have had mysterious Jacobsen luck in the past... Maybe this can be waiting for me at Urban Ore? Fingers crossed.
"It was totally configurable in software and we had 16 stage envelope generators for both frequency and amplitude, so it was kind of like the grandfather of the Yamaha DX7. On ours, you could build your own algorithms, using any of all of the 64 oscillators in any position in the algorithm. If you wanted additive, you could add 16 of them together. The phase modulation was similar to what Casio did with their CZ series. You could designate any tuning you wanted and save it. You could split the keyboard, stack sounds, model different parts of the keyboard for different parts of the sound, and save that as an entity - the kind of things that are common now." The ADS 200 featured "Additive synthesis, phase modulation, frequency modulation, nested phase and frequency modulation, and combinations of all modes." says inventor Tim Ryan.
...and only two were ever made. Whoever is lucky enough to have the opportunity to touch this fascinating piece of electronic music history is very lucky.
