Good use for old bottles!

Taiwan is a country in which new things are easily accepted and people learn everything at a rapid rate, hence the amount of ‘fusion’ evident within design emerging from the asian country. taiwanese designer tsai yi-cheng has created ‘victoria in supermarket’, a collection of furniture objects which includes a stool and a floor lamp which draws on this notion of fusion. the pieces at first appear like traditional victorian furniture, however, upon closer inspection, one makes out the forms which are made by common bottles that can be bought
in the supermarket.

I picked up on the axes of best made company awhile ago and while Im not really sold on them this article does a really good job of framing some of the contradictions on what’s happening with “hipster craft” these days. I can’t really say if all this is looking up or down but it’s good to see that it is going somewhere at least.

I cannot emphasize just how much I LOVE space stuff and in that spirit I simply cannot help but share this series from Photographer Vincent Fournier whom I came across at viacomit. Mr Fournier, I salute you.

Tree of Heaven

Tree of Heaven is a collective, urban forestry, project with a distinct Detroit grittiness. Connoisseurs of the “Ghetto Palm” Tree of Heaven makes furniture and other accouterments from the limb of this under utilized resource (if you want to call it a resource at all) in a community shop envioronment. Very distinct and very proactive in a community that most certainly needs such things.
