icff

New York was amazing as always, although with the torrential downpours I didn't get to see most of what I wanted to at ICFF...but here are a few things i was diggin'

Finnish designers paspas' beautiful patchwork vintage anatolian rugs

Jonathan Nesci for volume gallery's General Desk, made of aluminum plate

uhuru's new collection is made of reclaimed wood from the coney island boardwalk..love the feathered look of this console table..
from the beautifully twisted mind of alex randall comes the squirrel wall light (at future perfect)
john derian on a monday - closed! lame!
the sketchy looking entrance to kiosk
the fun and cheerful display of random gifts inside kiosk

san francisco, 1906

this was a film shot from a trolley on market street in San Francisco, a few days before the 1906 earthquake destroyed most of the buildings..there is something so haunting and sad and beautiful about it...

nyc

I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? -The Fountainhead

off to New York and Philadelphia in a few days...
