The Cobra.

 
If you’re a renter like myself, the Cobra TV Stand ( Horm) by Mario Bellini is an excellent alternative to wall mounting your Plasma. Your TV attaches easily onto the Cobra Stand so no drilling required. And because the stand comes with four sturdy wheels, it’s easy to move so you and your guests will always have the best [...]

Hang On.

MUL reader Melissa H. really loved these wall hooks from design group Selletti, so of course she passed the link along to us!  Four white over-sized letters spell the word, “HANG” so your guests know exactly where to put their things. You can find them at online store Lekker.

10 Crazy Chandeliers Made From Recycled Materials.

1. Bulbs Unlimited makes good use of old light-bulbs.

2.  Berlin-based lighting designer Stuart Haygarth collected a thousand used party poppers after the millennium celebration in London to create this playful one off piece.

3. Artist Madeleine Boulesteix creates gorgeous chandeliers out of old tea cups.

4. Hundreds of recycled coffee stirrers give this chandy a luminous glow.

The Nook of Love.

 
This Nook Lounger by designer Phillippe Malouin reminds me of a cozy nest I’d like to crawl into and take a nap.  Using the same techniques one would use to crochet, Phillipe Malouin uses his arms as giant crochet hooks to weave his comfy lounger. The “yarn” is created by filling hollow cotton tubes with recycled fibers.  His website shows a quick video of [...]

Vuitton Vespa.

With the rising price of gas, We’ve all been noticing  more scooters and bikes on the road lately. This Vespa in Louis Vuitton print was photographed outside of the Bon Marché in Paris this weekend. Let’s face it it doesn’t hurt to look good but come on. Does anyone else think this has “steal me” written all over it?

The DesignChain.

 I am fortunate to live with an interior designer who is a whiz at making our apartment not only beautiful but superorganized! The Designchain™, a modular storage product you can use in a number of ways, might be something we should look into. The set comes with ten tubes which you can twist and turn into a shape that [...]

Feel Good Gang.

 
The Feel Good Gang are four ambiguous characters that hold those toiletries needed in the bathroom. You can conviently hang them to any flat surface using their suction cup backs. If you’d like to get a set for yourself you can go here.

Now That’s a Fire!

 
 My friend Lars is visiting us from Sweden this week, so my friends and I thought we would throw an All-American BBQ in the park this weekend. As you know, I have been researching BBQ grills for urban dwellers (check out BBQ on the DownLow) and when some friends and I decided to BBQ on Memorial day, I found a small disposable grill at the local drugstore [...]
