wooling around

Can you imagine your planters made of wool? Yes  designers Jaime Salm and Roger Allen at MIO has designed these softbowls made of wool which can be used as containers or planters etc.

What captures my attention is the revelation that eco has competition from eco. This bowl  takes up only one -tenth of energy needed to make ceramic planters or bowl!

Another interest is that these bowls are manufactured in Philadelphia by one of the last remaining millineries in the US and each container is handmade by local crafts people.

Do visit Mio’s culture lab.

I observe me

This flower arrangement has become piece of art and that is what Paula Pryke  does. This is first floral art which I think has taken me to another level and has taught me something.

This sofa chair called facett designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is my another favourite (It has to be white). I could cuddle up there for hours and feel nice.

And this Gregory Blain platform is what I want to think about.  I want to think if it is practical in  small spaces.

These 3 pieces make a perfect corner for me to meditate.

I would be posting design ideas in a series called MY NOOK for a corner, for each and every nook of my house and your house.

This is my first nook and I am nervous.

I would sit on la platforme and imagine I, and not the flowers; who is sitting on the sofa chair. I would definitely move my legs restlessly and the rest of magic would be brought forward by the dark ambience, the white and red contrast.

I think I would attain bliss. What about you?
