We’ve been just stumbling on really cool jewelry lately, and always want to share it with our readers when we feel it’s particularly architectural in nature. We don’t mean like architecture-themed, just something with a lot of structure and concept to it. We found what we thought was some jewelry design-lovers would enjoy with Autoctona. And you’ll learn a new Italian word today:

“Autoctona means native, an Italian word referring to origin, identity and a sense of belonging in the most primitive form. we create forward thinking objects whilst preserving and fostering the use of premium craftsmanship and materials. The primary inspirations are amulets, ritual objects and love tokens with their associated symbolism. each piece has been designed, prototyped and singularly hand cast. we source and create everything locally.” More photos of their work on the Autoctona website.

What do you think about this jewelry?!

If you’ve ever been on this blog before, you know how much we love a good tiny, modern cabin-like structure tucked away somewhere somewhat remote, still connected to the world through technology but just not surrounded by so many darn humans (this round-up of eight should be sufficient evidence). Well, Tiny House Listings just posted the perfect mash-up between tiny and liveable, modern and cabin-like and we are completely, fiercely in love.

This tiny home sits on five acres of land on Sauvie Island, which is fifteen minutes’ drive north of Portland, Oregon. Only 54o square feet, the two owners Jessica Helgerson and Yianni Doulis live here with their two kiddos, and are quite self-sufficient, growing food and raising bees and other goodies. Built in the 1940s, this structure has had many lives, but this awesome renovated home for four is definitely our favorite! More on Tiny House Listings.

“Cassie began designing and fabricating lamps during her graduate architecture studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she became enamored with digital design tools and fabrication methods. After earning a Masters of Architecture in December 2010, she moved back to Seattle, bought a CNC machine, and established Cassie Hibbert Design in February 2011.”

“CHD lamps have been featured in the Seattle Art Museum Shop, the Tieton Chandelier Festival, and the Onn/Of light festival in Ballard. In Fall 2011, Cassie Hibbert Design completed a commission to design and fabricate ten skylight diffusers for the new Pierce County Library in Fife, Wash. CHD currently makes lamps from a small workshop in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.” More on Cassie Hibbert Designs’ website.

We spotted Amanda Valdez’s work on Pinterest (yep, we’re on there!) earlier this week, but haven’t been able to forget it. We just had to post more. Mixing powerful, fierce color-blocked, organic shapes with neutral backgrounds and sometimes even embroidery thread, she creates really effective and strong compositions. These are the sort of paintings where you would only need one in a room — it would dominate and dominate wonderfully. And though they seem flat and 2D, we really dug the influences that she claims her work has:

“I think about what the body feels: extreme pleasure and pain. There is pain in the pleasure of having intimate physical contact with another. These brief moments are always book ended with being alone, connections are brief and the rip from them or their dissolution is sobering and sad. This often ignites a full relocation of reality, because reality is shifting on us constantly, causing our bodies to respond to our emotional life.” More on Amanda Valdez’s online portfolio.

“Located on the slopes of Upper Fresnaye below Lions Head. A play of simple cubic volumes with punctured openings framing mountain views and large shuttered views opening to the sea.” More on Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects’ (SAOTA) website.

Just spotted this awesome new jewelry line on Fast Company: Meshu takes the maps of your check-ins on Foursquare or cities you’ve been to and turns them into personalized, customized visual geometric infographic jewelry pieces. What an awesome mash-up of design and technology! See more photos and read more about it on the Meshu website (as well as see what your designs might look like!)

If you love runes and other witchy, metaphysical things and you like a sleek piece of art that would look cool in a modern home, you might dig this Plywood Series by Significant Others. An alphabet, it’s unlike any we’ve ever seen, and like how it almost looks like a futuristic or alien language than English. Also featuring a few graphic designs, it looks cool leaning on a shelf or hanging on a wall. “These timber pieces have been hand silkscreened on forest plantation plywood timber, carrying the Significant Others signature marque. The range includes a full alphabet set which can be used individually or as a group to spell a name/message.” More on the Significant Others’ website.

Yeah I’m not done living in the fantasy world and drooling over stunning for sale apartments in Sweden that are full of modern details and a zero percent chance of us ever owning it. Are you? Of course you’re not. We liked the transitional feel to the space — it’s got some traditional details (like that kitchen we’re not really loving) but the rest of the space has plenty of stealable and inspiring elements that could work in anyone’s home (whether they live in a zillion-dollar Swedish apartment or not). Really, really like how white and bright everything is, which makes all the pops of bright color in accessories and art really catch the eye. More on a website that is also full of more real estate that’s way out of your price range: Sotheby’s International Realty.

Yeah, you heard us. Have a piece of art you hate? Or even is just kind of “eh”? Don’t let that thing hang around your house zapping all your creative energy; transform it into a whole new piece of art with a revolutionary invention hundreds of years in the making: paint! We spotted a great example of this DIY method on the blog Old Brand New. What we loved about it the most is that, unlike some similar projects we’ve seen in the past, this doesn’t look like it’s gonna take a lot of skill to do (not that’s it’s not lovely, just, looks very accessible). So, go grab some ugly canvases, some paint, and go make yourself a dramatic DIY statement for your wall. Before photo at Old Brand New.

Would you ever paint over an existing painting to make it more something you’d want to hang?!

Have you ever wondered what to do with all of those unused chairs around your house?  Well if you have 6 units of Latten chairs, 2 horizontal pine sticks and 4 vertical pine sticks in 8 different colors, you could create this shelving unit!  We all have that just laying around, right??

These chairs that were designed by Max Gumpp & Hannes Gumpp, have been zip tied together to create this shelving masterpiece.  And if you needed the chairs back you could just cut all the zip ties, though I wouldn’t want that job.

Very cool!

Sort of obsessed this summer with these Turkish bath towels and accessories, that are at once global and colorful but also surprisingly modern, simple and traditional. Available in a breathy array of perky hues, their stripes are summer-y, fresh and elegant. We want some! Find them on Etsy.

What do you do when you need to renovate a teeny tiny Melbourne, Australian home but you don’t have a lot of money and you certainly don’t have a lot of space? You respect the structure’s original blueprint, raise the roof (literally) and add in architectural details that visually expand the space.

FMD Architects, an Australia-based firm, is no stranger to stringent building requirements, and tackled this project with ease and delight. We enjoy how angles with walls are explored to create interest in a space that would normally just be rectangular-shaped and that faceted, mirrored kitchen island is a geometric dream that adds a load of personality to a space that again, could have turned out really boring. More information on the FMD Architects’ website.

What do you think about the neat additions to this space? Would you ever try to grab inspiration from a place like this for your own home?!

We just couldn’t love that blog Weekday Carnival one iota more. They just posted an absolutely wonderfully simple yet complex DIY project that is absolutely igniting our creativity and wishing we had some hollow metallic tubes to bend right this instant. Taken from website:

“I have dreamed about those different geometric and metallic lampshades that have been very popular now, so I decided to try if I could do one without welding. I went to a hardware store and bought four thin and hollow metallic tube. Then I thread through a twine those tubes and made ​​many folds to it. Finally I tied the end of the twine so that “gadget” would stay together and placed it over the light bulb. I used Nud’s Lamp Base.” All the photos and more information on Weekday Carnival.

You gonna make this lampshade in the next hour or what?!

Move over Ralph’s plain wrap.  For those of you who remember the 1980’s light blue iconic stripe over white labels and simple font word that describes the contents of the packaging, Mexican branding company, Menosunocerouno gives plain wrap a new lift.

Not unlike the plain wrap, Menosunsocerouno packaged their Just In Case survival kit in yellow and black.  It does include also includes more practical items like matches, a knife and water, plus a notebook.

Interestingly enough includes chocolate and hard liqueur.  Who is going to argue with that?

It is missing the all important flashlight and band aids, but who cares.  It is plainly stylish enough for an amusing conversation piece or gift.  “Just in case” you need one. The limited edition kit will be available in selected design stores in Mexico. More information visit Menosunocerouno

Love the idea of taking your lunch to work more. I mean, not me personally, since I work from home, but in general. It’s healthier and saves money (in theory). If you need a kickstart to inspire you and you like making your own projects, you might enjoy the leather lunch tote DIY project spotted on Wood & Faulk. You’ll need a little experience working with leather (or at the very least an adventurous spirit) but think of the new hobby dreams this could spark! And you’ll be left with a clever, functional item in the end. More on the Wood & Faulk website.

Would you make this project for yourself?

Italian furniture designer Simon Simonelli (what a musically wonderful name) has come up with a clever and interesting kid’s line of furniture that is both age-appropriate but sophisticated enough that you wouldn’t mind it existing in the corner of your modern living room. With the outlines and colors of the coast and beach, this summer-y set of table and chair is perfect for the kid who likes to sit, play, draw and enjoys good design. More on Simon Simonelli’s website.

These days everything seems to be ethnic-inspired and yet it’s hard to find products as exquisitely crafted as Jennifer Musi’s handmade jewelry. After years of sculpting ceramic, she found her passion for metal jewelry making. Visiting Taxco, Mexico’s silver capital, and finding absolutely nothing she liked motivated her to enroll in a metal sculpting course to create her own designs. I love where that has taken her.

Jennifer works and lives in her metal shop/studio in Mexico City. “My studio consists of a workbench and basic tools. The silver wire and sheet are made for me in a funky downtown studio that uses Spanish machines from the 1920′s and has pictures of nude women on the walls, typical of Mexico, where jewelry is traditionally a male profession.”

“I love the immediacy of imagining something and making it with my own hands right away. My designs also develop as I make a piece. I always begin with a simple sketch, but I adapt to what the piece needs once it is three-dimensional.”

Pictured above is Jennifer’s Aztec ring. “I feel the piece is powerful because it causes me to be present. Tribal jewelry has this weight and it is my favorite because it feels like it is here to last.” I agree.

Visit her website to see her latest pieces or stop by her etsy store to purchase one or two.

2Modern is so happy to announce the addition of awesome lighting company Varaluz to our line up of modern and contemporary light fixtures! Not only does Varaluz offer a wide variety of light fixtures that seem to both give respect to traditional designs and also look forward to the future, they believe quite strongly in creating products that are nice to this earth — you’d never know it by looking at the design or price of these fixtures, but many of Varaluz’s offerings feature recycled materials.

We got the chance to speak with the owner and top designer at Varaluz, Ron Henderson, about is background and how he got into the lighting field, how this relatively new company (five years old) has been able to weather a tough economy so beautifully and what sort of lighting designs we can look forward from Varaluz in the near future. Please visit Varaluz at 2Modern to see all of their stunning products!

What do you think about these new light fixtures at 2Modern?! Gorgeous or drop-dead gorgeous?

Anyone else spend a lot of time drooling over international real estate that you couldn’t possibly ever afford ever? Hey, even if you probably won’t ever step foot in this home or call it yours, doesn’t mean you can’t get a lot of interior inspiration from it for your own home. We’re digging the subtle mix of contemporary furniture pieces with a sort of warm, organic vibe with materials all mixed into a newly-renovated Stockholm modern architecture apartment. Like the subtle global touches with accessories and art. Like the lively color palette. More on Sotheby’s International Realty.

We like a little mystery in our art. We like when art has an enigmatic feel to it. Tanya Johnston’s illustrative work seems to embody quite a soft, subtle and dramatic world. Working for commercial clients, her illustration work seems much more than just a functional visual guide to something; her work seems to evoke a feeling of another world out there. With a color palette that seems to come straight from deep dusk, she combines landscapes with illustrated shapes and photographic images to create her work. More information on Tanya Johnston’s online portfolio.

We received a lovely email today from independent Berlin-based furniture designer Anne Boenisch offering up some juicy photos of her most recent furniture design work, which she showed in Milan at the Salone Satellite. Known for bringing together the most promising young designers, you can see from these photos why she was included in such a distiguished group.

Before starting product design studies, she worked as a carpenter and has co-founded the design group “erstererster” in Berlin. She’s worked on various design projects and exhibitions in Milan and Berlin as well as seen her work shown in Tokyo, Seoul, Tapei and Taiwan.

“She focuses on designing high-quality, vibrant everyday products and interior designs, combining practical use with charm. Her work has been awarded several design prizes and was nominated for the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2010.” More on her website.

You know what doesn’t get enough credit in the world? Folks who can see something gross, dirty, beat-up or cheap and see way past all its negative characteristics into what it could be. Kara Paslay has this talent. She runs a blog over on Kara Paslay Designs and she’s got an eye for seeing when a cheap $15 rug from her local Habitat for Humanity Restore needs to bought immediately because it can totally turn into something amazing.

Using some paint and a similar pattern technique we’ve seen in DIY wall art before, she really completely gave this rug a new life. Quite inspiring. See more of how she did it on her blog at Kara Paslay Designs.

Yes, of course, we have a sale going on today (though tomorrow) but please let us not forget the real reason for Memorial Day: remembering and appreciating the sacrifices so many men and women have made through the ages for our freedom, safety and happiness. Thank you.

“Mapuccinos” are poster-sized digital prints that at first glance resemble subway maps. But if you look closely, the stops are personalized to capture different moments in your life. They’re made by Boston-based artist (and self-described map addict) Rajiv Ramaiah. You choose the marker locations and names, Rajiv does the rest! They’re pretty popular for couples since both genders seem to appreciate their modern aesthetic. And the fact that they’re literally one-of-a-kind makes them all the more special. You can find out more about them and Rajiv’s numerous edition prints (samples below) at http://www.mapuccino.com/.

Luckily, product designers have been paying attention, and have been steadily churning out comely incentives to make the process of composting cleaner, convenient and downright worthy of display.

Composting pails are handy receptacles for accumulating daily kitchen scraps, which can then be offloaded into outdoor composting bins on a weekly basis.  And, happily, there’s no shortage of smartly designed, good looking options for the conservation minded (and design driven) household.

Probably our favorite trend to evolve in recent years in modern furniture design is the idea of longevity. Of pieces that you will invest in and that will last a very long time. Your lifetime, yes, but even longer, to maybe even become an heirloom piece that passes on throughout your family. Alice Tacheny’s work is definitely heirloom-worthy.

She produces pieces in small batches carefully and authentically. Her range of design is pretty wide because of that time flexibility, and her modern craft style is both modern in form but also traditional in feel. These are well-made pieces. Debuting this line at ICFF this year, she plans to expand soon to small storage pieces and desk accessories, all staying with her aesthetic of walnut, white oak and leather, solid brass and blacked steel.

“I like to think about what my furniture will look like 100 years from now; what it will mean to the people who own it, and what history it will carry,” says Alice. More information and photos at Alice Tacheny Design.

Society has a tendency to take art for granted.  Art is often perceived as something for the ‘select few’, often not going any further than being considered something ‘nice’ or ‘interesting.” But unless it sustains a career or is talked about in more places than the classroom or the studio, art is relegated to something akin to ‘special interest.’  However, the reality remains that art surrounds everybody on a daily basis and affects the way we interact with the world at every turn.

Perhaps the most influential example of art on our daily routine is that of interior design and architecture.  It surrounds us and it exists as something we experience every day. But while most of us don’t stop to consider architecture’s impact on our lives, it would not be an exaggeration to say that most of us are living or working within the bounds of someone else’s vision or design.  In a very real sense we become a part of that person’s art.

James Woolum is a widely experienced and variously accredited architect who has worked to design buildings that force the inhabitants to stop and appreciate the artistic side of architecture, and he has shared what it means to build inhabitable art, with photos from HMC Architects’ projects.

Looking at styles that have come and gone, and others seen today, what kind of architecture do you try to avoid creating? 

JW: I actually think anything that’s honest, well crafted, and well executed –regardless of style- can be quite beautiful. What I think is good to avoid is anything that’s not well made, not true to the material used, and not true to the spirit of the times. For example, even though I’m a modernist and minimalist at heart, I think an ornate antique gilded picture frame has more inherent design quality and is far less pretentious than, say, cheaply made golden brass bathroom faucets that are meant to elicit a sense of luxury or expense.

What are the various factors you consider when approaching a design?

JW: You really can’t have good design solutions unless you include all three factors in your process; budget, functionality and design. No client is going to consider their project a complete success if, for example, the building functions perfectly and was on budget but looks awful, is badly constructed, and is an eyesore in the community or neighborhood. In my studio we are constantly asking ourselves how to push the limits of design and creativity as we solve the client’s functional and financial needs.  The art of design is often as much about understanding complex sociological and psychological systems as it is about form-making or materiality. We just finished a major office building renovation and besides solving for function and budget, we realized that none of the people working in the building were happy! Our design focused on open collaborative spaces, access to views and natural light for everyone (not just private offices), and a lot of break out spaces. Walking through that building now people literally stop me to say how much they love the renovation. People are visibly happier, less stressed, more engaged, and energized. THAT is the power of design!

When designing a building, when do you know that you have the design you want and move on to the construction phase?

JW: Knowing when to stop is a huge problem for architects and designers. Like any other creative art form, there are lots of questions and lots of answers…but very few that are clear cut. Architecture is definitely not an endeavor of right/wrong or black/white…you definitely have to function in the gray to be successful. We try new ideas all the time; sometimes they are successful and other times not. As long as the ideas are well executed and well-crafted I am totally satisfied by the exploration even if the end result is “well, we won’t try THAT one again”. Honestly, it is hard to let go and I admit that I constantly redesign projects in my mind even after they are completed. Ask any of my clients….they’ll tell you I still rearrange the furniture when I visit a building I’ve completed years before!

Have you ever made any mistakes in designing a building or could you have approached a building differently?

JW: A number of years ago I did a favor for a friend and essentially redesigned his entire house. There was a really strong idea, it was very thoughtfully and rigorously detailed, it could have been a spectacular little house. The design drawings were turned over to a design-build contractor and the house was produced without my involvement. The results were disappointing (to say the least) because the builder applied his own thoughts and really watered down the idea. I’ve realized over the years that the only thing worse than a great idea unrealized is when a great idea is realized really badly. I think for me the takeaway – other than never doing design favors for friends – is that it’s crucial for the designer to remain involved. I am very hands-on with my team and intimately involved in the realization of our projects through construction and occupancy. A few years ago, I actually tried to buy that poor little house with the intention of finally doing it right!

François Chambard of UM Project is a clever and creative modern furniture designer. His chairs, tables and storage pieces are always so functional, nice-looking and completely unique. But he’s not only about being serious with design; he loves to have fun, and that shows through not only in the colorful, bold details in his pieces, but also in the design side projects he works on.

He talked to us about his Craft System, which played on the form of the base he designed for his new Atum Lamp. He took that shape and created several different, completely-original and unique design characters, each with their own aesthetic and function. We took a quick video of

This Vestal DESP022 Sea Green Destroyer one was “pinned” on Pinterest  by a fellow lover of aesthetics and I was intrigued.  While 45mm at its widest, the name The Destroyer,  is in contrast to the glass like look of this watch it would seem that you might be in danger of destroying your watch or slitting your wrist for that matter.  But clever as Vestal is, this glossy green version is transparent injection molded plastic.  It makes you look twice at this statement piece and less costly is always a timeless benefit.    It is available in metal, just in case you need to steel yourself.

I think most design enthusiasts would agree that a good chair should be a staple piece for any space.  Form, design and functionality are all important components of a chair, and this chair has all of that and more.  Designer and architect Ricardo Garza Marcos, has created the Chaise Cuatro.  The Chaise Cuatro is made of three bent Wood parts for the chair and one for the ottoman.  The chair is composed of a main bent plywood sheet that holds the leather cushions.  The armrest and back support is made by a two-piece bent plywood shell that helps the main piece stay in place.  The inspiration for this chair comes from the 1956 Eames Lounge Chair.  It’s fresh, it’s modern, it’s what we love!

“A tree transformed into furniture or furniture morphing into a tree?”

Mexican designer Christian Vivanco designed this chair/coat rack after meticulous contemplation of the interactions we have with the objects that live with us. He observed his own routine upon arriving home and realized chairs are often used to serve purposes other than sitting on them, such as being a side table, a stool or a clothing repository. This diversity of uses caught his attention and inspired him to create a chair that truly and explicitly considered one of these alternate functions.

As a result Chuun was born and, in the designer’s words, ‘took on a life and personality of its own. A chair who yearned to go back to being a tree; a ‘living’ piece of furniture from which a branch grew.’

Christian runs a concept-driven creative studio and teaches young designers in his hometown university. Visit his website to browse through his other 20+ creations.

We weren’t surprised in the slightest when three-woman strong Egg Collective won the ICFF new designer award of 2012; we kept finding reasons to pass by their booth we loved their designs so much. A heady mix of vintage-inspired modern pieces that were exquisitely made, we enjoyed how they mixed trendy motifs — geometry, smoked glass — with their own aesthetics to create a pretty smashing first line. We suggest you keep your eyes on these designers; if they’re this good their first go-round, they’ll no doubt be blowing us away with any new designs in the future.

Egg Collective is made up of the lovely, talented and witty Crystal Ellis, Stephanie Beamer and Hillary Petrie. From their about page: “We are a Brooklyn-based design company committed to building American-made furniture that merges heirloom-quality craftsmanship and contemporary design. Our furniture and objects are handcrafted by members of the collective; anything we cannot make ourselves we source out to local and small-scale manufacturers. We design enduring objects. We hope the people who invest in our furniture will pass it on to their children with stories of lives lived around it.”
