DESIGN: Pharrell's Chairs

Nov28

Back in 2008, musician/entrepreneur Pharrell Williams collaborated with furniture designer Domeau & Pérès to create the “Perspective” series said to be inspired by the love between a man and a woman.

Next up in the series is The Tank chair, premiering at the Emmanuel Perriton Gallery during Art Basel Miami. The Tank chair will arrive in four colorways and is made of plexiglass and full grain colt leather.

I really love seeing creative people like Pharrell contributing to multiple creative industries. It proves that their talent exceeds far beyone just one medium.

ART: David Choe

Nov25

 


The image you see above is the first piece I ever found by David Choe. I don't even remember where I found it, I just remember taping it to my bedroom wall in Italy as inspiration to do more line drawings.

For any of you fine people who may not know David Choe, this video is an introduction brought to you by Upper Playground. Choe is by far one of my absolute favorite artists. His grafitti is self proclaimed as "bathroom grafitti" but his outline style drawings resemble those of –pardon the cliche– Picasso's line art. He's a very expressive and talented painter of all mediums.

If you like what you see, and Wooster Collective posted another video that dives a little deeper into Choe's personal experience in Tokyo that has made him the artist he is today. You can watch that video here.

Enjoy.

From the good people at Photojojo!. . . yes, those same great people who brought you the Fuji Instax Instant Camera. And now, next on the radar from this amazing group is the Dreamy Diana Diana Lens.

For only $60, this lense will transform your beloved Nikon or Canon DSLR into a digital toy camera. I'm excited to try this product, see what kind of interesting New York City shots I can get!

EVENT: Wool And The Gang

Nov22

I stopped at WOOL AND THE GANG tonight, and yes, I learned how to knit. . . amazing. Its not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Crazy to think I was crocheting on the way to the shop, and then switched over to knitting while there. I haven't started any formal knitting projects yet. I think it'll take more time for me to freestyle executions as clearly as I can with crocheting.

I would like to put another shout out to the lovely people at Wool and The Gang. Tonight, Isabelle was a wonderfully patient instructor. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. I can't wait to go back next Sunday.

STYLE: Wool And The Gang

Nov16

My dear friend C and I were finally able to stop at WOOL AND THE GANG new storefront, located only a few blocks down from work. The girl working was so genuinely sweet, I was virtually spellbound when she suggested we come back on Sunday for a Free Knitting Workshop, they have them everyday! For anyone who knows me, I've been crocheting since my Nana first taught me a long time ago, so to break the mentality of using only one needle will be difficult. . .but I'm willing to give it a try. And if for some reason I just can't do it, I'll just bring a crochet needle and buy some of their wool.

For anyone living or visiting the NYC area, you must stop by at 98 Thompson Street if not to buy quality wool products (they have amazing knit kits), then at least to say hello to the lovely people that work there.
