Waste Not

I’m gonna order one of these wastebaskets from Chris Collicott - it ships flat and then snaps into shape.  So excited!

Lucious Lounging

These chairs are amazing – like those yarn popsicle stick things that kids make in arts and crafts, but these are serious!  From Moroso’s Tropicalia collection.

Origami is gamiori

I wish I could make these pretty paper objects. I could probably fold a paper fortune teller if I tried hard enough.  I’m gonna go try now, I’ll report back.

Papery Shoes

When I saw these origami inspired shoes by French artist NDEUR, they brought back memories of making my first pair of shoes.  I was six-years old, and obsessed with the latest footwear fad -  jelly shoes!!  And to my doom and dismay, my mother wouldn’t buy me a pair.  I took some six-pack rings from my Dad’s beercans, and some scotch tape and created my own.  They looked passable, but definitely weren’t wearable.
