Foscarini is one of my favorite lighting lines and I have had my eye on this pendant in particular. The big bang is available in suspension, ceiling, and wall fixtures in 3 colors: bianco (white), rosso (red) and gringo (grey).
I love the lines of the cross extension table from DWR. I can see putting any modern chair around this dining table and it looking fantastic. Have a happy Monday morning and here's a little eye candy for you!

Here is a great DIY project that involves recycling old maps into gift bags via instructables. I would like to carry my little lunch in it as well. Check out the link for more concise step by steps instructions.
Tools and materials / Herramientas y materiales
You will need:1 - An old tourist map (those that are folded).2 - A rule.3 - A pencil or marker.4 - A scissors and a cutter.5 - Glue for paper.6 - A cutting mat.The tourist map must be folded at least in six parts. The size of the bag will be 2 parts per 1.
Measure the width of one part of the map (W) and mark it as showed. The black lines shows you where to fold and the red ones where tu cut. The green marks are the original folding parts of the map. Notice that I made black and red lines for showing purpose. You will get a better result just marking points or using a soft pencil.In my example, W = 10 cm., so W / 2 = 5 cm. and W / 1.2 = 8 cm. aprox.Cut on red lines (and save the big piece for the next step).Fold on black lines. I recommend you to score the black lines using the scissors and then fold paper easily.
Take the longest piece cutted in previous step and cut it in a half lengthwise. Glue it to the right side of the map, use the scissors again and fold it, and glue with the left side of the map. Be carefully to leave the beautiful side of the map outside. Now you have closed the bag vertically.Then just close the bottom of the bag, folding and gluing it all as shown.
Close the flap and flatten the bag. Now mark the handle centered in the flap: red lines to cut, black ones to fold. A good size for it is less than W / 1.2 for length, and 2 cm. or so on for width.When cutting, notice that you are cutting three layers at the same time: both sides of the bag and the flap.Fold and glue inwards each of six parts of the handle: this will make it stronger.Finally, open the flap and make small cuts to help open/close operation.

I was doing my morning routine of checking my favorite websites and blogs, came across this and had to share. As a designer and lover of all colors (well, most colors!), I really appreciate these Pantone products via W-2. What a perfect gift to give that graphic designer, artist, interior designer, or just crafty friend that has good taste! Fun fun fun!
I love the idea of having a pebble floor in a bathroom to massage your feet as you step out of the shower. A lot of tile manufacturers have come out with mosaic pebbles that can be installed on walls and floors. The only thing that I don't like about these pebble mosaics is the gap between the stones is rather large and you end up seeing as much grout as you do stone. I think a nice alternative to those of us who don't want to go through the process of re-flooring our bathroom is this awesome river bed pebble rug from Ksenia Movafagh via nova68. The aesthetic of this rug is fantastic!

The Florence Lofts project in Sebastopol, California were designed by IBIS. The lofts themselves are attractive and comfortably modern, but what attracted me to them most was their LEED Gold certification. I'll let inhabitat's article below tell you more about the details that make it so "green".
Energy needs are met with solar power, but Florence Lofts’ sustainable program is also found throughout the details of each structure. Bamboo floors make beautiful use of rapidly renewable materials. Post consumer recycled content is found in countertops, made by PaperStone. Concrete floors with hydronic radiant heat provide excellent thermal comfort. FSC certified wood was used throughout and more than 80% of the structural steel used to frame the homes are recycled.
The impressive gray water recycling system is the first approved for large scale use in Sonoma County using recycled water from bathing, washing and laundry to providing 100% of the water needed for landscape irrigation. Given water shortages in Northern California, the estimated savings of up to 150,000 gallons of water per year go along way to conservation. In addition, rainfall and storm water brought on-site are cleanse naturally through a bioremediation system, reducing the pollutants and toxins that these two sources bring to streams and rivers and all paved surfaces throughout the project are permeable recharging the natural water table in the area.
Founding Partner and Architect of IBIS, Steven Sheldon notes that “All materials were chosen from a collective consciousness perspective that balances financially sound and environmentally friendly decisions.” The Florence Live/Work Development is a prime example of a sustainable, livable community - a great place to live, work, and play within walking distance of the necessary amenities desired by any resident.

I love these cork tiles from UMA. They are sold by the set which includes 12 tiles (6 tan and 6 chocolate). I love that you can mix them up to create all sorts of fun patterns...which might be a little dangerous in my household!

Meltin’ Pot, the italic denim brand, just openned a new store in Milan. Fabio Novembre designed this monochromatic interior in an old industrial building with two levels.
Angled surfaces covered with mosaic start at the lower level and last in the upper forming skylights on the lounge.

fruits & flower I so love these airLUCE lights by tranlogue associates. They all use LED as a light source and a material that consists of a surface-emitting acrylic board, making the entire surface to glow. Take a look at the other shapes offered in the series. Pictured is the Bellflower and Fruits & Flower, my two favorites.

growing up in the south, i have a special place in my heart for mason jars. i enjoy them filled to the brim with icy sweet tea, but this fun project from d*s reader whitney gaylord may be my new favorite way to enjoy them. unlike most of our other diy projects, this one will require a bit of professional help (installing anything involving electricity is no joke) but the majority of the steps are easy to handle and will require only a quick call to your local electrician (home depot offers these services, too) to install the final project. click here for the full instructions or just click “read more” below - thanks to whitney for sharing!
mason jar lights
what you’ll need:-vintage mason jars-hanging lamp kit with low wattage bulbs (try your local lighting store, home depot or lowes)-ceiling light plate
1. punch holes in each mason jar lid, large enough to fit the light bulb cords through (appx. 1 inch). as always, be safe and use gloves and a steady hand when punching holes. to punch the hole you can use either a hammer and nails (which you’ll need to then widen for the cords) or a larger tool that you can tap through.
2. unscrew the lid, insert the bulbs into each jar, feeding the cord through the holes in the lid. whitney suggests using a lamp kit that includes tension clasps to keep the bulb from sliding.
3. tighten the lid back on the jar and adjust the bulb to its desired height (using the tension clasps).
4. using a store-bought ceiling light plate- drill holes into the plate to pull all of your cords through (depending on how many jar-lights you will be hanging). pull the lights through, allowing enough cord to hang the lights at your desired height, and then tie a knot at the top to keep them from falling back through the ceiling plate.
5. contact your local electrician to install the lights into your ceiling- we do not suggest trying to install these yourself unless you’re a trained electrician.

A new project in Greenwich Village is bringing a mix of modern luxury and green building to the historic West Village district. Architect William Pederson, with international real estate firm Hines, recently announced the design for One Jackson Square. With an eye-catching glass façade and a host of environmentally sound features, the new development will be Greenwich Village’s first LEED-certified multi-unit luxury condominium.
One Jackson Square will provide 35 loft condominium residences on 11 floors, each with floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding neighborhood. Eight of the condos have outdoor spaces, and the penthouse boasts a 1,670 square-foot roof terrace. On the luxury side, the building offers a round the clock concierge, valet parking, plush lounge area and catering kitchen. On site facilities include a fully stocked exercise room and a luxury spa.
The sustainable aspects of One Jackson Square include multiple terraces and a green roof which covers about 20% of the total site. Native and low maintenance landscaping was selected to reduce water consumption. Efficient HVAC systems lower the building’s overall energy usage. And, the construction materials were chosen to lower the building’s environmental impact, as well as improve indoor air quality for residents. Construction waste was kept to a minimum and much of it recycled.

dARCH Studio founder and architect Elina Drossou said “The need to synthesize the two different approaches to design was the focal point of this project. Concepts and practices used in fashion design were incorporated as organizational principles during the design and the construction phases of the project.”
The installation is composed entirely of re-purposed packing cartons, and was constructed around the space’s existing furniture to create a seamless, streamlined effect. dARCH Studio” built the fluid framework from 1,500 sheets of 5mm thick corrugated cardboard, which were cut into strips and then carefully pasted along an entire wall of the 90 square meter shop. Integrated illumination transforms the built-in boxes to display cases that dynamically frame Eleftheriades’ wares. The innovative installation cost 2,500 Euros, and is a stunning example of thinking outside of the down-cycling loop.

I have always wanted a compost bin for my award winning garden! Well, up until this point my award winning garden has consisted of 3 window pots full of dried up remnants of herbs....oh, and a poor brown bonsai tree. But, next month I should have a whole yard all to myself and I am planning on what I want to do. Composting is high on the list. I have even done some research on how to compost dog waste, which you can compost separately from the compost you want to use in your garden. Check the chart below for the "yes" and "no" materials possible to compost.

Okay, so this may be a little misleading since this fabric is not yet in production, but check out Grace's post this morning on Design Sponge to let you know more about this awesome fabric:
"handmade amy ruppel fabric that was shown at a recent gallery show. there aren’t any textiles in production yet, but amy created these pieces using carved wooden blocks and rubber stamps. it’s her first foray into the fabric world but i think it’s an incredibly promising one. i’d love to see someone pick up the line and produce it so i could reupholster my favorite rocking chair. until then, you can check out more of amy’s work right here. i promise that the second i hear when/if this is going into production i’ll be sure to update."

The distinctive feature of a HUF Home is its post and beam architecture. This timber frame concept frees the designer of the constraints of load-bearing (and thus dividing) walls. It gives HUF designs their unrivalled breadth, openings and vast spaces. Wall to ceiling glazing opens the view on the surrounding nature, making it part of the living experience.

Being a designer, I often imagine how I would design interiors of all sorts. One project I have never invisioned is a church. But, I have to believe that if I were given the opportunity it might look something like St. Bartholomews Church designed by Maxim Velcovsky and Jakub Berdych at qubus. I so love the Verner Panton chairs with a simple cushion for added cushion for a long sermon. What makes this church really spectacular is the combination of fantastic architecture that has been untouched on the interior and the modern furnishings. Even the traditional, grandeur chandeliers make me "ooh" and "aah". Oh, and how sweet is that robin's egg blue front door. Fantastique!
I have been dying to use these pendants in a project, but they are not UL listed. So, I guess I will just have to use them on my own residential project...my house! I love the simplicity and softness of these liquid raindrop pendants. Personally, I like them in a cluster as pictured, but they come individually in 3 differnet sizes and also come in a ceiling light, sconce and floor lamp version. Check out nova68 to see all the fixtures for yourself!

I found this great folding facade article on Atelier A+D blog. Fabios restaurant in Vienna was designed by BEHF Architeckten. The entire wall is composed of folding mirrored glass and I love how the panels reflect the light down onto the diners when they are in the up position. Really, I just love anything that can fold and transform and is related to architecture.
FLOR is at it again. One of our favorite sustainable designers has expanded its vast product range of modular tiles to include a series of tiles for outdoor use. FLOR outdoor includes three options for injecting a little color and new life into a deck or rooftop patio: "Seeing Spots", (above, left) "the Swiss Cheese of cool rugs", has a fuzzy-smooth touch and the holes aid in draining water away after it rains; "Green Acres", (above, right) FLOR's "modular lawn party", is their version of Astroturf and is "pleasantly scratchy like a stiff lawn." Not pictured is "Cut It Out", a tile similar to Seeing Spots with square (rather than round) cut-outs; both hole-y tiles are available in an orange, dark green and purple and go for $11.99 (for a 19.7" x 19.7" square -- that's $4.46 per sq. ft.). Green Acres, fittingly, only comes in green for $9.99 ($3.71 per sq. ft.). ::FLOR Outdoor via ::Apartment Therapy
One of the most exciting thoughts about getting a house is having my own washer and dryer. It's been quite a few years that I have had to go to the community laundry room and hope no one is down there...share the same washer and dryers that everyone else in the building is using, and remember to go down in a timely fashion (like 3 minutes before the load is done!) to make sure no one takes my wet clothes out of the wash or dry clothes out of the dryer and put them on a gross table. This laundry room is absolutely fantastic and has me drooling. Check out the article from Sarah Richardson at HGTV to get more info on this amazing interior.
