perpetual calendar by enzo maritags: miscellanea, office

MECHANICALLY INCLINED TYPES will definitely enjoy Enzo Mari’s classic Perpetual Calendar for its tactile nature. Somewhat similar in concept to tear-away desktop calendars, daily interaction is necessary to keep the date on track; great for those who need a little “time awareness” though not so great if you start to lag behind. Designed in 1967, its design remains attractive even to this day; the Perpetual Calendar is made from plastic and lithographed PVC with flip cards that stow in the base. $149, gnr8.biz Popularity: 7% [?]

sputnik chandeliertags: lighting

DISTURBINGLY ORGANIC, Ika’s Sputnik may have been inspired by the famed Russian satellite, but it’s returned home with alien modifications. Available in either a pendant or sconce version, Sputnik is made from hand-blown glass, with delicate twirls on each end emanating from a spherical mass. For the pendant, the lights are housed within the sphere; in the case of the sconce, the very arms serve as light bulbs. Both have overtones of a scifi B-movie; tonight, we’ll dream of gaudy tesla coils and tentacled space invaders. $450-$849, d furniture Popularity: 4% [?]

Architectural Photos: Mykonos Island Hotel in Greece

I do not know about you, but I sure could use a vacation about now. I am thinking something summery with great views, the ocean, and peace and quiet. How about the beauty of the Greek Islands? Pictured here are photos of Cavo Tagoo, a luxury hotel on Mykonos. I am a big fan of Mediterranean style architecture with white washed walls against the backdrop of the ocean. The stairs down from the hotel property create a grand entrance to the waterfront. The inside décor features modern furniture that matches the white theme of the walls. One piece that catches my eye is the rocking chair with aqua colored upholstery. Via.

U Bend Shelf

U Bend Shelf is a great example of an extremely simple design. A single bar that extends from the wall which will support your books in a discrete and stable way, the first of them being used to fix the others. The shelf is available in two high gloss powder coated finishes, black or white, and the price for this shelf is $95. I think that this is a great way to store some books in a small room.
