NYC designers Frederick McSwain and François Chambard (of UM Project ) created an outdoors-inspired exhibition at Gallery R’Pure for New York Design Week called Off The Grid . Inspired by camping, flashlights, lanterns, and easy outdoor furniture solutions like using crates as chairs, the designers created what look to be more luxurious and creative alternatives to the traditional camping gear. Perhaps this is gear we might use when camping on a rooftop in NYC or as our only furniture in an effort to try and escape the real world? Descriptions below are from the designers.

Wouldn’t it be nice to just float the days away perched on this fluffy chair? I’d say so…

This week’s product pick is the Snöbär Chair, which means snowberry in Swedish. The base is made of oak hardwood, which contrasts with the soft, bubbly white seat cushion.

Snöbär is designed by yonder magnetik, an architecture and furniture design studio.

To me, this chair would be a fabulous diversion around a dining table – not your typical dining chair. Where do you see the Snöbär Chair?

Ok, so last week we talked about The Great Gatsby and how I was dying to see it. Luckily, I was able to catch it this Saturday – in 3D – and I was not disappointed. Has anyone else seen it?

Don’t worry – I’m not going to talk about it and how great I thought it was. What I really want to talk about is the collaboration between Tiffany’s and the movie. Ironically, I had been on the Tiffany & Co. website on Saturday morning because I was looking at a gift idea for someone. On their homepage, there was a link to the video above, which of course side-tracked my gift hunt.

It’s really interesting and quick to watch – it talks about how Tiffany & Co. let the costume designers of The Great Gatsby dive deep into their archive to use pieces for the movie. I was so excited to find this video before I went to the movie, so I was able to find the pieces while watching.

But how about that headpiece that Daisy Buchanan wears? It can be yours for a cool $200,000! Take a look at all of the pieces available for purchase – which would you choose?

Portugual-based designer Daniel Duarte’s Time Machine seems appropriately named as I could imagine getting mesmerized and transfixed watching the layered bars rotate around as time passes. The abstract clock will hypnotize you as the constantly shifting geometric patterns change and evolve as the minutes tick away. The yellow-tipped bar represents the hour, while the orange-tipped one signifies the minutes.
