i had so much fun at brooklyn designs last year (see photos!) and i've been looking forward to attending the 2009 show...but unless something changes at the last minute, i'm going to miss it.

those who are able to make it will surely enjoy seeing the work of UM (oh how i love colgate searle and other cool geniuses at UM) and palo samko. at least i was able to see palo samko's exhibit at the ad home design show in march...

the photos above are "just some art pieces" palo created, which are not part of his official collection. but the spray painted zeppelin is striking. i love the bike theme--and i wasn't the only one. he said he received enough inquiries about his art pieces during the ad show that he may considering creating more, for sale.

anyway, UM will be at the icff at the javits center next week...otherwise, there is always the option for a field trip to their studio in dumbo...

if you are lucky enough to make it to bk designs, send news please...



looking forward...and back, a bit...


so so cute!

i've never been keen on learning to knit, but seeing pip-squeak chapeau etc.'s exquisite and adorable collection at the brooklyn designs show a couple of months ago got me thinking it might be the perfect winter 2008 activity...

but it will be a long, long...long time before i can create hats and shawls and scarves of a quality to match theirs, so i might have to invest in a few items.

i heard there's a sale on some of their spring items, through august 10. i might wait til the fall, but swoon away at the full collection
here, or at a store near you...

be warned: it may lead to winter longings...

the news about the sale had me remembering the fun day i had with
teresa, zovig, and a "man called mate." reminisce a bit with me here.

links to favorites from the show:

the corian and walnut table by françois chambard, of UM.

i also fell a little bit in love with the gentleman/designer, colgate, also of UM. i'm guessing he designed these colgate chairs. i could have chatted with him all day...

the osomoto gateway table …beautiful wood top.

the constellation dining table by palo samko . walnut slabs, with watch gears that make up the “constellation.” stunning.

and

lola’s lounge chair from laidman fabrication.
