This show sounds like fun,

a great combo of food and design-

wht more can you ask for ?

I for one- could not think of a better

combination and a perfect excursion

for our Interior design first years

at Style Design college in Westville.

 

Beer mugs that tilt for you !

I for one, alwasy forget to tilt the glass when Im

pouring a beer for someone. Luckily with this

new inventive design, I will never forget again !!

This cup actually tilts forward when liquid is poured

in, helping you pour multiple glasses

of foaming or fizzy drinks

with out causing a stream of foam

to creep over the edge...

come to think of it, this could be a fantastic

time saving solution in clubs and bars...

Love the colour combo...

Design group Rich, Brilliant, Willing., with an assist from French furniture-makers Ligne Roset, pulled together a rough-and-ready–yet comfy–VIP lounge for this year’s Armory Show art extravaganza in New York.

Call it rapid-deployment cool: over scarcely 48 hours, a small band of 

movers and riggers helped the trio of Theo Richardson, Charles Brill, and Alexander Williams to install a suite of Ligne Roset seating as well as an array of panels, swags, and festoons fashioned from sheets of ordinary perforated snow fencing. 

The colorful, ready-made partitions helped divide the sometime industrial space in the West Side’s Pier 94 into a series of intimate enclaves, with different camps of fashionable partiers on either side of the improvised party walls (excuse the pun).

The select collectors and celebrities invited to the lounge snagged a snack at the private food court (courtesy of ‘Wichcraft), and
kicked up their well-heeled heels on the capacious seating from Ligne Roset’s “Ottoman” collection (designed by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrence).
However different in texture and palette, the chairs and fences nevertheless shared a thematic link, notes Theo Richardson: Ligne Roset has a longstanding policy of eco-sensitive manufacture, while the fencing’s
high-density polyethelde plastic is “the same in those those Odwalla juice bottles,” made from sustainably-sourced materials.
