I used to live in Missoula, Montana and I wish the shop Evolve was there when I was there. It's proof that that city just gets better and better. It's the shop of owner and designer Robyn Woodhall. You can also see her work at Towne Interiors.
Check out Alex MacArthur's Antique's showroom. Complete with a sea view, the shop is located at 101 St Georges Rd., Kemptown, Brighton, East Sussex. The collection comprises furniture, mirrors, lighting and decorative objects for the home and garden. The pieces range from 17th century ecclesiastical to 20th century industrial, with an emphasis on the dramatic and decadent. The website is kept up to date with the latest arrivals but it is always worth visiting the shop as stock is constantly changing.
Cool Hunting reports, "Using an unusual approach to treat leather, design studio Greece Is For Lovers' set of table and chairs features a nautical pattern that has literally been sun tanned onto the surface. Cheekily dubbed "Tan Lines," they stenciled a pattern onto the leather with sunscreen, exposing it to direct sunlight to darken the negative space. Over time, the two-tone design will weather more, fading the imagery into a single bronzed hue." I also had to include their killer leather skateboard commissioned for the "7ply Project" exhibition, organised by Propaganda Rolling Co. Socks optional.
Anna-Wili Highfield is a Sydney based artist currently making sculptures of animals from paper and from copper pipe. The paper sculptures are created from archival cotton paper, that is painted, then sewn together, to create the figure of an animal. They are so beautiful!
