the muranodue rep came by the other day, all of the way from italy, to update us on their new products. here are a few of my favorites.
Café America is a surprisingly comfortable indoor/outdoor chair. Taking inspiration from ubiquitous chain-link fencing, it recontextualizes the unsung material. A unique cushioning effect is created by the lightly tensioned chain-link seat and back. Café America is made of recycled chain-link whenever possible and flat-packs for efficient shipping and storage. (via grain)
i'm not usually one for gift boxes, but these were so adorable i had to share. tetris gift boxes (in a pack of 7) are availabe here at littlewhitedog's etsy shop.
a friend of mine was wearing this necklace the other day and i had to know more about it. it's made from recycled magazines and Amazima Ministries is training the women in the Karamajong tribe to make these. a portion of the proceeds then goes to back to the tribe to feed their children.
i don't normally post clothing accessories...usually just accessories for the home, but i found these amazing shoes that i've been drooling over and had to share. what happens when an architect designs shoes? united nude! and all of the styles are amazing. there's even a line that has a heel that looks like an eames chair foot. i mean comeon, so cool!

my husband has been wanting to do a display wall in the house for his photos so i was researching fun and modern ways to display art and not have to frame it all or puncture it. i love this idea using magnetic paint. a number of paint companies offer the magnetic paint. yes, it is more expensive and from what i read, takes quite a few coats to apply and needs super strong magnets to make things stick...but i think it's a subtle way to display. click here for step by step directions on how to do your own magnetic wall. what do you think? ever used magnetic paint before?
