I just love it when little issues we dealt with all our lives are nixed through the most simplest of solutions! Say goodbye to stacks of dixie cups, germ-infested toothpaste cups, or cupping hands; hello, Tapi. The first "squeezable" tap-gone-water-fountain is blowing my mind! How simple?? And how genius! Perfect for kids faucets, toothbrush-tots-in-training, and family bathrooms in general! And with the array of available color options you can go bold to brighten and add some fun, or opt for white or steel to go as seamless as possible!
Tapi from Dreamfarm, $4.95
Stella McCartney launched a beautiful little capsule-collection of kids clothing this month; the start of her own label for children. The line seems simplistic, yet edgy enough. I guess the main feature right now is the luxury-blends: cotton/cashmere etc. But I don't see anything much more special than her fantastical Gap rendezvous (hope it's not an end to that era??). Honestly, my favorite dig is the yellow boots!!
And that graphical-deer logo is pretty dope.
O.M.G.
That's honestly all I have to say about this slim, sleek, and stylin' picnic-inspired table. Impeccably tasteful - form + function perfection. Would make for a superbly impressionable family-kitchen table...!
Hopper Table, from Extremis of Belgium. Beatific.
The hot-topic right now is Andrew Zuckerman and his newly published project, Music. I don't know anyone who is not a fan of his work - his lens produces epic captures! And I'm especially fond of his publication for kids, Creature ABC. Come to think of it, his Creature Floor Puzzles ($24.95) are probably one of the most timeless ways to gift a Wii-era child... lend them an appreciation for beauty and affection for creatures of the earth. With Chanukah around the corner and kids receiving way too many high-tech toys, this may inspire you to take it down a notch - spend some time puzzled over on the floor again! These images are quite incredible, check this:
I can't wait to check out Music:
"The Music project features dynamic portraits of over fifty musicians of all ages, from across genres, who provide their perspectives on one of the most universal and yet unexplainable art forms. Music is available as a book, which includes portraits and interviews as well as access to a feature-length film; it is also available as an iPad app, with text and portraits from the book as well as individual films for each contributor exclusive to the app."
