Nomu Jug by Alessi

Image
According to Allen from Bungalow 5 he loves how ”obsessed” we have become. This according to him is the new preferred word among bloggers, every time we see something new, we are obsessed – and that’s kind of how he fells about the new thermo insulated jug Nomu by Japanese Naoto Fukasawa for Alessi.  
Well I am "Obsessed" with Alessi as a brand... The designer mind can not look at Alessi product without admiring the beauty of it.... Allen you picked a winner to be obsessed with... 


You might remember Mr. Fukasawa for his other blogger favorite CD player for Muji. The new jug is launched at the Milan design fair just now, so my guess is that we can all buy one very soon.
Can not wait for the Jug to come to South Africa....

Paimio Chair - 1931

Paimio Chair, 1931
Admired as much for its sculptural presence as for its comfort, the Paimio Chair is a tour de force in bentwood that seems to test the limits of plywood manufacturing. The chair's framework consists of two closed loops of laminated wood, forming arms, legs, and floor runners, between which rides the seat—a thin sheet of plywood tightly bent at both top and bottom into sinuous scrolls, giving it greater resiliency. Inspired by Marcel Breuer's tubular-steel Wassily Chair of 1927—28, Aalto chose, instead, native birch for its natural feel and insulating properties, and developed a more organic form.
The Paimio Chair, the best-known piece of furniture designed by Aalto, is named for the town in southwestern Finland for which Aalto designed a tuberculosis sanatorium and all its furnishings. Used in the patients' lounge, the angle of the back of this armchair was intended to help sitters breathe more easily.
Aalto's bentwood furniture had a great influence on…

Looking Back I know...

Image
Why when I look back I see this incredible distance?  The Distance that is just getting wider and further into my future.... Waiting for this moment to pass... Waiting for the tears to dry up... One day I will look back and see ..... One day I will understand the inner parts of my Soul ....


It is hard too see where tomorrow will take me and I know you don't owe me your Heart or Your Love... I only hope that you see that you can share your heart with me...

Lord all I ask for is Forgiveness when I stumble and fall...

Daily I keep Dancing through this place I call my life... I only know I can not stop or give up .... Lord Thank You for Loving me, For answering when I call out .... I know you don't owe me nothing at all ....

Looking back I now see.... The past has revealed the truths I was searching for .... Looking back I know you keep talking, but I am not listening .....



The Diamond Chair

The Diamond Chair is a chair designed by Harry Bertoia in 1952. It is made with welded steel with rods in polished or satin chrome, or bonded rilsan, a very durable adhesive-fused nylon-dipped finish. Scratch, chip, and chemical resistant. All wire seating includes glides. Cushions are secured to chair with lock-snaps. Full covers are stretched over the wire seat basket and attach to seat basket with hooks. Bertoia said about the chairs: "They are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them."

Rebuilding my Life ...

Image
2017 has kicked off in a very positive place for me... 2017 will be my year of Growth.... As you all know by now I went through a very bad break-up and I had to rebuild my life...  At first I didn't want too.  It was easier to hide behind broken dreams and closed doors.... My Psychologist and I had to sort through my life ... It was a huge mess, but one piece at a time I started to rebuild my life..... And then when I started to breath again I met Him....  Trust me to rebuild your life is the hardest thing that you will ever do... The key is not to give up even if you feel like the pain will KILL you....  It won't trust me... Embrace the pain and look at what you have learned from the past...  Sort through the mess one piece at a time..... The Pain will pass trust me and when that starts to happen you are busy putting your life back together... Show them that you are better.... Start by rebuilding yourself and then rebuild other aspects of your life and before you know it you…
