Hipster Trap

Hipster trap!

It takes a Deft Hand

August 24th, 2011

To successfully create a minimalist object, you’ve got to make it look completely finished without any excess…and to be really successful, the end product has to look attractive as well. In my mind, that’s almost an inhuman task.

It tickles me to have found Minimalissimo– a website that exclusively posts minimalist objects.  I’d argue that some of the items they post are not completely successful in their minimalist attempts, but oh, the ones that are– are divine.

O House

Go take a look at all the O House photos (though this photo may very well be the most stunning) and while you’re on the site, scroll down to the espresso machine. It’s exquisite.

 

Julie Rofman, I love what you do

Beaded Cuff by Julie Rofman

Firstly, this photo [in my opinion] does not do this bracelet justice. Nor does the postcard I picked up at the New York Gift Show. (It’s really called the New York International Gift Fair but that sounds so pretentious coming from me. I’ll forever call it NYGift).

When I saw these cuffs in person I thought they looked like representations of circuit boards. Bright colors and regimented patterns– it made so much sense to me. Turns out, each design is named after a city, so I don’t think the artist saw my vision…

Check out Julie Rofman’s work by way of her Contact page. Not only is her jewelry great, the photo of the artist is kickin as well.

Caught My Imagination

A trio of essays that I’d like to direct your attention to: A Tattoo,  a Toothbrush and a Pipe by Adam Harrison Levy.  I think the first two essays are the strongest and most compelling, but that could be the English major in me passing judgement. Do you agree?
