Geez, more porcelain? really?

Porcelain with an Escher-twist

Posted on February 26, 2010 | Leave a comment

What is it with the French and their flair for porcelain?

Check out these wonderful square plates from French designer brand Pied de Poule. The plates are decorated with graphic designs reminiscent of the late M.C. Escher‘s work. The pattern gradually shifts from nondescript shapes to tiny goldfish and swallows. They are part of a homeware collection called l’échappée belle consisting of pottery, plates, stationary and linen.

More small spaces, but this is too great not to share! A rooftop cottage in NYC!

Posted on February 17, 2010 | Leave a comment

The New York Times regularly features a segment called ‘Who lives there’. It’s about unusual property in Manhattan and the people who live in it.

One of the properties featured is a quaint rooftop studio in the West Village. It sits atop a popular tea room and most people walking by will likely miss it. For the few that notice it, like the article mentions, it looks like a small cottage or artists studio dropped on top of the original building. Mary Biosic is lucky enough to have snapped up this place and calls it her first NYC home.
