Miniature Decor, House of Furniture Parts, Cardboard Rugs and Cactus Chairs
Los Angeles Slinks for 5.8.09

050809atlaslinks.jpgSuper Cool Doll House: you gotta love this site. Staged scenes of home renovation, touching family moments, flashbacks to past eras and even time for yoga...all composed with miniature doll furniture.

House of Furniture Parts: "Architecture, furniture and storage all in one. Studio Makkink & Bey took standard sheets of ply and with CNC cutting, created a miniature house to stand within larger interiors of offices, studios and lofts. With walls of stool, bench and table parts that easily come out and assemble, the functionability and character of the house can be changed as more or less furniture is used."

Message in a Box: Disposable cardboard printed rugs/carpets with intricate traditional designs or informational graphics. An interesting idea of taking something plain and disposable and making it remarkably beautiful. via The Trendy Girl

Prickly Chairs: Designed by Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers, the cacti inspired seating is what we call Rocowhoawhoa!

The cardboard thing reminds me of something my grandma once told me, that they use to sell grains and bulk items in sacks made with printed designs. when the sack was empty you could then use the material for a project.

I'm mildly in love with the chair. But only mildly.

I could be wrong, but I think that chair is upholstered in fabric from a Norwegian sunnmørsbunad (traditional costume). I actually have one of them.

Speaking of Super Cool Doll Houses, here in Toronto Barbie's Dreamhouse has been rendered life-size at the Bay department store, part of the celebration of Barbie's 50th birthday. The high-heel houndstooth wallpaper is worth the price of admission: http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2009/04/deconstructing-barbies-dreamhouse/
