This weekend I spent out at my friends’ house in New Jersey, Nanske and Bill. While new friends, they are incredibly sincere, generous and open. They respect me, even though I’m younger, and they let me share my ideas, stories, and more. In addition to being awesome, Nanske is also very design conscious. She keeps […]

The group Nest, that I’ve begun working with, has been really inspirational in many ways. On one of my current projects, the founder opened up her world and suggested I speak with a friend of hers – one of the founders of the company Graypants, which is a Seattle-based lamp and furniture company. Above are […]

Another stop on my Saturday of concept gallery/store visits was Cite, which doesn’t really count as I believe it’s regularly a furniture store but they had a selection of 23 Dutch designers in at the time, which were awesome. One studio I liked was Oooms Studio founded by Guido Ooms and Karin van Lieshout. Their […]

While at Droog today I fell in love with a huge work that they have in the store now by Pieke Bergmans. I had never heard of her but she’s Dutch, of course, and works largely in glass. As a reformed glass blower myself I know the basics of the process and when looking at […]

A dear friend of mine, Sara, has a vase that she loves. When she told me about it initially I thought – well, she works in contemporary art at Christie’s so she must only have the most fabulous artistic works in her home, which, in many cases she does, however, this vase we’re all lucky […]

This Saturday my brother’s getting married. I leave in the morning for the wedding and it’s interesting timing that the last few days all the dialogue my friends and I have been in over email has revolved the idea around women being able to manage families and careers and the variety of approaches they take.

In this month’s Vanity Fair I read about this company, Thornwillow Press, who was noted for creating custom-bound editions of Obama’s inauguration speech from January 20, 2009. I wrote the name down in my Blackberry quickly as I thought it might make a great gift for my father for Father’s Day coming up this Sunday. […]

Next week, on Tuesday the 23rd, Nest is hosting an event for Proud Mary at the lingerie boutique, Journelle here in New York. I think this is an amazing group of women coming together – the fabulous Claire Chambers who run Journelle, Rebecca Kousky at Nest and Molly and Harper of Proud Mary, the company […]

Based in Australia, Dinosaur Designs brings together a lot of things I’m into. The company was founded in 1985, the women who founded it were students in art school together and they make pieces that are inspired by nature and its patterns – their most recent collection was on funghi. The lines encompass jewelry, textiles […]

Another great find at the SoWa Open Market this past weekend in Boston was Amy Jensen, a Boston-based jeweler who makes her pieces out of found items. At the market she was showing her subway token jewelry elegantly laid out on wood blocks over subway maps from a variety of places. I’m not sure where […]
