Located by the south coast of England, the designers of the Splice Collection based their designs off of the  angular shapes of the sea and related equipment, such as dockside machinery and ship structures. Consisting of stools and a table, the Splice Collection is made from sustainable, eco-friendly materials.

The Splice Stool is made from sustainably sourced Birch wood. It is available with a natural seat or with colorful 100% wool felt, which is also eco-friendly, on the top panels.

The Splice Table is also made from sustainable Birch wood.  Both the Splice Tool and the Splice Table can be used in commercial areas, as well as indoor and outdoor settings. Each piece is finished with a natural, painted finish and left with a worn edge to represent the wear and tear that happens to machinery and ships used at sea.

The Splice Collection is designed by Fry & Fry for Liquidesign.

Customizable things like WordPress themes and color settings on TweetDeck are always nice. Grain , a design studio based in Washington, took that idea of customization and applied it the Ty D.I.Y. Edition, a shower curtain set that provides a blank shower curtain as a “canvas” where you can draw your own custom designs on. The shower curtain is durable, recyclable, machine-washable, and more resistant to mildew. Unlike other typical shower curtains, it isn’t made with PVC, a hazardous consumer material that releases poisonous chemicals.
