Crochet table by Moooi at SPACE furniture

We were having a browse at SPACE the other week when I came across these crocheted side tables.  I haven’t seen them before even though these particular ones have been around since 2001. Designed by Marcel Wanders for Moooi using crochet cotton and epoxy resin, handmade by his crochet team. Imagine your business cards, Flower Motif Specialist, Marcel Wanders Crochet Team :)

Moooi has a quite a few designs that I like to look at:

Rabbit Lamp, Moooi

Pig Table, Moooi

I would definitely buy the Rabbit Lamp on an impulse, although I’d like it more in a different colour – & the Pig Table just made me smile, I can see this as a side table in a reception area… or some sort of information stand in a butchery!

A Calendar by Sven Ellingen

Designed and screenprinted by interaction designer Sven Ellingen. It displays the daily hours of sunlight from 30 years ago on a calendar of 2008, I really like the concept and the clean design.

It would be completely depressing at the moment to see in print how the sunshine is rapidly declining here in the lead up to winter. It’s just wrong that it’s night by 6pm, I’m still in summer mode.

Lula Magazine

I’m a sucker for well laid out glossy magazines. Entertaining and interesting stories & interviews, good photography, maximum white space and some focus on the typography.  I really like the first picture of Mia Farrow, it reminds me it’s been a while since I watched Rosemary’s Baby, & in the second I have no idea who this is. I like this picture for a two page spread, it looks interesting to me, unfortunately in the online preview it wasn’t possible to read the caption.

There is little information for Australian’s interested in this magazine, but there’s an email contact for subscribers not in the US/Europe/UK. My local newsagents are pretty poor so it would be a waste of time looking there but I’m sure it’s available at lots of places, most likely at borders.

Custom Bust by blackeyedsuzie

Fawn Feltidermy by girlsavage

At the risk of turning scatterpig into a look what I found on etsy blog…. look what I found on etsy!

I’ve mentioned a blackeyedsuzy creation before, I’d love to have an occasion to have one of these made, what a great idea! I love her style. & who wouldn’t want felt deer head mounted on their wall? :) fantastic.

Dala Horse from The Cottage Cheese

Traditional swedish toy/handcraft. This really caught my eye – I love wooden and tin toys.
