Judith Jacobi is a student at Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule in Halle, Germany whose project called Visitor is a collection of products that presents creative solutions for needs surrounding commuting, travel and communication. Judith says, Commuting between one location and another is not about the places itself and neither about logistics and time management. It is rather about the people who are important to us and who care about us. At last we put up with such a double life for our friends and families. The collection consists of three designs: a calendar, where dates become secondary and migrant birds as representatives for people living far from each other, move towards each other from day to day; a pin-set for maps, where small nesting boxes can be filled with memories of distant intimates and thus a location on the map is replaced by a person; and a piece of furniture that serves as a well-prepared nest for the arrival, being filled with plans for the weekend and other prearrangements.

I don’t know about you but I still get excited when I view a city from an airplane or a tall building. There’s something about that perspective that is so fascinating to me and when I saw The City Series from McNabb & Co. , I got the same feeling

After a year post-launch, Italian brand Enzyma is back with the start of a year full of household furnishings and the first up is Shaky , a vase designed by founder Gianluca Sgalippa. Shaky is a playful, ceramic vase that reminds me of one of those bendy straws or a Slinky.

Dressing up a bare wall with a large shelving unit can totally change the decor of a room – in a good way, of course! Not only does it enhance the open wall, but it provides endless decor options. You can fill with it colorful books of all shapes and sizes, souvenirs from your travels, family portraits, drawings and sculptures made by your children.
To take a few tips from the images above, you can put storage boxes – to have storage within storage, arrange canvas paintings, display collectibles, typography and to store your record collection.
As far as installation goes, you can install a built-in shelving system or just place a free-standing unit against the wall. Personally, I prefer the free-standing option, like these from Lucce at Interior Addict, because if I ever move – they can come along with me!
For those not interested in covering a whole wall in shelving, there are so many different shapes, sizes and arrangements available – the possibilites are really endless.
What do you think of shelving units – do you love this look?

The simple Aurora Lamp by The Good Flock is hand turned and assembled in Oregon. I love that you can use this lamp on a desk surface or mount it to the wall as a sconce with a single screw. Made of white oak and finished with 100% Tung Oil, this lamp kind of reminds me a bit of a candlestick. It also comes in a black finish.

It’s that time of year to start preparing [and dreaming of] outdoor spaces. An outdoor sofa set is one of my biggest dreams, and this may be one of the best I’ve seen – because it lights up!!
The Sirchester Collection is made of the Poltrona [chair] and the Divano [sofa]. Both are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and are available in a wide variety of colors. The light effect happens from an RGB light system within each modern sofa and armchair.
Available at Serralunga, the Sirchester collection is designed by deep design. Can’t you imagine yourself lounging with family and friends on one of these bad boys? I know I can – all year long!

Studio Segers has designed a simplistically unique furniture and accessory collection with a universal element incorporated into each piece – poles made of oak wood. Whether it’s the legs of a table or hooks on a wall, the pole is the theme of the (obviously named) Pole Collection . Now available through Mookum , the collection combines white lacquered metal with the warm wood giving it a bit of a Scandinavian feel

Did you watch the Oscars last night? I had them on in the background while doing other things, but lately I’ve enjoyed hunkering down in the living room and watching the different awards shows that have been on. It’s always fun to see what the different celebrities are wearing, and wondering what many of them were thinking! I also like to watch them in their seats to see if they’re actually paying attention or who they go to when they win.
This year, I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t think I’ve seen one of the movies that are nominated. I’ve been dying to see Silver Linings Playbook, Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, Argo and Lincoln. I’m sure I could think of more – but those are the movies at the top of my list. After watching the Oscars, I’m definitely in the mood to start checking the movies off my list! Which movies have been your favorites?
As far as the fashion for the evening went, I’m loving the fuller dresses, like those worn by Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. I also loved the pink dress worn by Kerry Washington. Charlize Theron also looked beautiful in all white. I never realized how tall she is – Adele either! Seems like everyone looked tall next to Kristin Chenoweth, who looked great as well.
What did you think of the fashion at the Oscars? Who’s dress was your favorite?
