I am a big fan of Kaws and a regular reader of ID Magazine. Looking forward to checking out the collaboration issue. I will also be checking out his work on Thursday at his opening reception for Everything Else at the Franklin Parrasch Gallery.
I am unabashedly an Obama supporter and a believer in hope and change. Congrats Barrack Obama. This inspires me as I continue my journey as an entrepreneur, Yes I Can.
There is something eerily beautiful about the Perspective Chair. I love the relationship of the male to the female, somewhat sexual in nature, but so much more. Absolutely intelligent design. Pharell, (yes, the musician) is the artist behind this design. He collaborated with Domeau & Pérès to create this chair, another chair and table that will be part of a show in Paris.
This past Thursday I had the chance to check out a new shop called Urban Alchemist located in Park Slope (343 5th Street (5th St & 5th Ave)). Urban Alchemist is a designer collective that features two jewelry designers, a lighting designer, crafted wooden products, and totes and tees. I was put on to the shop by my friend Donna, who creates some of the hottest lighting under her brand Re-surface. It is a cool little shop with some beautiful gift items. It is a must see. The ladies take turns operating the store on different days. Pictured above, my girl Donna and her lighting, Via Nativa’s beautifully crafted treasures, and a necklace that I fell in love with.
The Laidback chick will be chillin outdoors today in celebration of this Beautiful Memorial Day. Get out and have some fun today. Get back here tomorrow for some fresh news from the Laidback compound.
