nt lamps

May 26th, 2009

Why feature nt lamps, from Nicolo Taliani?  Because a) they are amazing looking, and b) they are the perfect combination of function and form.  Cord clutter is doomed.

tangled mess of cords

May 11th, 2009

Where there is a tangled mess of cords on the floor there is dust.  And dust balls.  And cat hair.   And that’s when Clean+istry questions whether technology has been worth the trouble after all.  Never one to encourage “function” to wag the “design” tail, the poster child for BLKYNDESIGNS in Brooklyn’s Dumbo this past [...]

cleaning baseboards

April 8th, 2009
