"The desk 'Clark' provides temporary storage which is not about filing or sorting but simply stacking. Everything stays within reach and does not disappear In drawers or cupboards. The areas for stationary are grouped around the desk. To the left there Is a deep case which can hold big stacks. The case Is open and slightly tilted towards the desk. To the rear there is a case attached to the workspace which holds box files. The files sink completely Into the case but can be reached easily through the opening at the back. The shallow box at the back is suitable for smaller stacks. To the right there Is a compartment which can be used for a variety of things. The name has been Inspired by the English word 'clerk'. A clerk can be found In banks, offices or councils and despite 'Clark' being an extremely well organized desk there Is nothing bureaucratic about it" vialink http://www.ma-decoration.net/decoration/design/table-design-ilotllov/ vialink]]> a perfect desk for messy people: "Clark" by llot llov spatriarca 2009-02-11T13:38:51-05:00 study http://www.wists.com/spatriarca/eedc34410963d3761e19d7c329a24c05 add to my Wists

Kashiwado Chair by Isamu Kenmochi "One of the most significant figures in the emergence of Japanese industrial design after the Second World War, Isamu Kenmochi graduated in 1932 from the Tokyo College of Industrial Arts. Like many of the first generation of Japanese industrial designers he was also a member of the Industrial Arts Institute where he worked in the Woodwork Technology Department. At the IAI he worked alongside design pioneers such as Jiro Kosugi and Mosuke Yoshitake and was influenced by European Modernist designers such as Bruno Taut. In 1952 he also became a founding member of the Japan Industrial Designers Association. In 1953, together with other leading designers of the post-Second World War years such as Masaru Katsumie, Yusaku Kamekura, Riki Watanabe, and Sori Yanagi, he was also involved in the formation of the International Design Committee.

British artist Willard Wigan's sculptures are so small that he needs to use a microscope. Tiny people and buildings are "carved from grains of sand and painted using the hair of a fly." Wigan says: "The stillness of it is very important -- you have to control the whole nervous system, you have to work between the heartbeat -- the pulse of your finger can destroy the work." vialink http://www.designboom.com/ vialink vialink http://www.kottke.org/09/01/willard-wigan-micro-sculptor vialink ]]> Sculptures that fit in eyes of needles spatriarca 2009-01-14T22:04:45-05:00 art http://www.wists.com/spatriarca/378adb13817154bb900d06b4a389aa28 add to my Wists

Designer: Jonas Trampedach "Where Do tea bags go to die?. Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the 'Tea bag Coffin', the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way.

"Designed by Gianluca Solid, the term Ovetto stands for Recycling Egg. Sporting a simple yet elegant form, this dust bin has two compartments for taking care of the garbage in green style. This white oval shaped bin is chic enough to flaunt it in open and not hide it away in some corner or behind the doors. A vital yet hidden green element of this bin is that it is made out of recycled polypropylene. Since recycling waste is the most significant act in a bid to reduce the burden of landfills, such a green bin steps in to take care that the waste is correctly disposed of and recycled too. It has small openings on the top that can take in what ever you chuck. When it is time to empty this egg, simply pull out the larger sections and dump all the collected waste in the garbage vans. Also, the sections have holes that facilitate air circulation. It is also spacious with a 15 to 17 Liter capacity.

Affordable Housing places at user's disposal numerous small drawers, conveniently located on four sides, to store away stuff like lingerie or ornaments.
