I love the tilt-a-fan stand! There is a point late in the summer when I just can't stand AC anymore -- this device will be a huge help to enhance the impact of my ceiling fan.
Is there a link to a vendor selling the Atomic Cafe /Rufus Willis cups?
Love the Panton Ball Pendant, reminds me of the huge Ping Pong Ball chandelier Zia Priven did at the Architectural Digest Show. Different design, but just as cool.

Also love the deconstructed bowl, just beautiful. I agree, don't always like the deconstructed designs, they usually look "too" damaged.
Rick,
I am selling a brand new set of the Rufus Willis espresso cups on ebay (for less than they cost on the Illy site). Please consider buying them from me!

Someone read their NYT Living insert this week.
Maybe it's because I've been dealing with rodent infestations for too long, but those potato bowls look like mouse poohs to me.
I'm not normally anti-thing, but I'm sorry, those potato bowls are HIDEOUS. And OBSCENELY priced. Donna should be ashamed.
I might faint. You agreed with me, P2! I ususally love Donna Karan stuff. and at $5k...geesh.
(Sorry for poor typing.)
Sorry about the bad links, Rick. They are now fixed. :-)
