We have a clue about Furniture

Back in 1962, drum teacher Jim Marshall opened up a small music shop in London. Fast-forward to now, his shop has morphed into the iconic global brand, Marshall . The company is known for their awesome amps that churn out their signature Marshall “crunch.” The Marshall Fridge is the company’s way of bringing the essence of their amps to any pad—no guitar skills necessary. You get Marshall’s classic style—in refrigerator form—that stores sodas or ice-cold beers (Gin, for me).

In honor of Memorial Day this past Monday and the unofficial start of Summer, we’ve got some awesome outdoor furniture as this week’s Product Pick.

Designed by Damien Velasquez, Half13 Furniture is made in the USA, right in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Available in several different styles, Half13 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The indoor furniture is made using mild steel, and the outdoor of stainless steel. Each type of furniture is available in a variety of bright and vibrant colors.

Half13 is awesome outdoor furniture for many reasons – for one, it’s bright colors catch your eye, as well as it’s unique design! At first I thought it was made of mesh, but then from reading more about it discovered that it is actually stainless steel.

I wouldn’t mind having this in my backyard, or in an outdoor lounge area. How about you?

Famed Dutch designer Marcel Wanders combined two outdoor summertime favorites – swinging and gardening – into one, super fun design for Droog . The Swing with the Plants is an indoor/outdoor swing whose seat edges can be filled with plants. Better yet, plant some seeds in some soil and watch the vines grow up the ropes to make it look like it has always been hanging from a tree.

This awesome lamp combines two of my favorite things: hot pink and lucite. Isn’t it fabulous? And guess what? It’s $29.99!! Gotta love Target….

The real reason I was initially drawn to this lamp is it’s similarity to the Bourgie Lamp. If you’re not familiar with the Bourgie Lamp, we had a great post [with tons of pics] on it last year. The Bourgie Lamp can be quite expensive in it’s originality, especially when springing for the gold or silver model. Thus, there are a TON of knock-offs. [Which even Target has!]

Although many people have problems with knock-offs of iconic modern furniture, I’m not always one of them. What I do prefer is this hot pink and lucite lamp, because it offers a similar style but switches it up with the lamp shade texture and the pop of color. And it’s affordability, of course!

What do you think about this lamp? Are you digging it’s $30 style or would you rather splurge on the Bourgie Lamp?

Studio Dunn debuted a new light fixture at ICFF this year called Sorenthia . The fixture was inspired by kelp’s long blades and beaded joints and the brass form combines the beauty of nature with sharp, industrial lines. Two fixtures Constructed of brass and steel elements, the simplicity of the design lets the brass finish really stand out. The elongated bulbs continue the beautiful linear quality that sets the piece apart. I love that you can literally configure multiple units together to create a customized fixture.

After Architecture , a collaborative design house founded by two Cornell University seniors in the Bachelor of Architecture program, designed the Twofold bench, seating to accommodate two user groups, along with two types of behavior. The all-in-one table slash bench design can host the average person of average height and seat them comfortably 18″ off the ground, perfect for resting your feet or playing a game of chess. The other type of user would be children, with space for the child to slide in and have the table be chest high for game playing or just to feel like a big kid. The bench is milled from plywood profiles, basically inverting the way plywood is traditionally used, causing the linear layers to be exposed. The edges were then painted with a bright, neon color making the curved geometry of the piece pop

During NYCxDesign, at WantedDesign we spotted  Alexander Purcell Rodrigues’ Cartesian chairs, a collaboration with California-based innovative aluminum manufacturer Neal Feay . Named after Descartes’ Cartesian coordinate system – the foundation on which CAD software is built – the simple silhouette of Purcell Rodrigues’s chair goes from function to art form. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum with a faded anodized finish, each chair has a mathematically-generated ornamentation on its surface. Using Neal Feay’s cutting edge aluminum fabrication methodologies that uses minimal waste and unique finishing techniques, couples with generative modeling tools and algorithm-based patterns makes this chair a pretty cool and innovative piece of home decor.
