2 condos one space
From the start, Giorgio Davanzo and Dan Burke were loving the Lumen. They appreciated its unique northern European aesthetic and the purity of its building materials (concrete, steel and glass without ornamentation). Modern but not trendy. And they were excited by its location, close to downtown, to the opera and theater at the Seattle Center, and within walking distance of Dan's work and numerous sports bars.
And yet they hesitated. Some of the units were too small for them, others too large.
But the project had not yet broken ground, and the innovative design made it easy for them to buy two smaller units, then have them built with only one kitchen and no separating wall.
At just under 1,300 square feet, the unique layout gives them a surprising amount of space, flexibility and storage. In what would have been one of the units there is a guest bathroom, TV room and kitchen; in the other there is the master bath, bedroom and Davanzo's office, and between them is a wide-open space they use as the living and dining rooms that open to two small decks. Davanzo and Burke entertain often and appreciate the way their layout allows for easy traffic flow with a crowd, but just as easily lends itself to more intimate gatherings.

LR-1 SOFA BENCH
We set out to make a sofa that was clean lined and big enough to sleep on. This simple piece comes alive in its elegant details, the beveled edge, the rounded corners of the inlaid color-tinted laminated glass. The cantilevered box fills with colored light, and its ethereal glow changes throughout the day, even at low ambient light levels. The supportive cushions are high-density foam surrounded in batting. Legs are solid, brushed stainless steel bar. The main frame is finished in a white satin urethane finish.
salt & pepper mills for muuto
The PLUS mills are made in wood and comes with a mill-mechanism that has a 25 year warranty. They come in 3 versions; a white salt- and black peppermill and a multicoloured version that has both the salt and pepper option.
The traditional parts of salt and pepper mills are split into a stack of different sized elements. The composition reflects how you grip and use the mill. The biggest element is of course the one you turn to grind your salt and pepper. The salt and pepper mills bring a good looking plus to your cooking! MATERIAL First class beech wood - stained and lacquered COLOUR white, black, multi-coloured DIMENSIONS Ø 67mm, Height 180mm

ABCs, Please!
Posted by Jennifer Sergent Tuesday November 18, 2008 - 04:01 PM
It all started last year, when graphic artist Joel Pirela’s 2-year-old daughter was learning her ABCs.
“I thought I could get her interested in the mid-century masters by creating some flash cards with the letters, along with a design and designer’s name for each letter,” says Pirela, who lives in Miami with his wife Maria and daughter Isabella.
What a cool dad. Once he posted the prototypes online to solicit feedback, he adds, “the request to make a poster version was overwhelming. I then switched to poster format and it all started from there.”
Now we can all share in Isabella’s good fortune. Keep reading to see more of his posters, which – more good luck for us mid-century fans! – are on sale through the end of the month.
Joel now has a whole series of posters that pay homage to the mid-century masters. Among the collection is a group of stylized portraits of furniture in his home (what an enviable collection he must have), which he created by taking pictures of it and converting the photographs into vector drawings.
“And then came the Eye Exam,” he says, where he replaced the familiar chart’s letters with classic chairs.
So, I’m totally hooked. I want them all. He’s selling them two-for-one through Nov. 30, so getting them all won’t actually be that painful. You can see the whole collection on his blog, Blue Art Studio, right here.
