Botanical Wall Tiles

Filed under: Decor, Art

Ceramic wall tiles by Heather Knight. I like them because they're bright pure white, and because I love three- dimensional art hanging up on the wall. Inspired by nature, Heather Knight creates each delicate design by hand and works pretty much exclusively in porcelain. These tiles are porcelain and are modeled after different plants like turf, hydrangea, and noni (top row) and magnolia, durian, and lichen (bottom row). I'm not crazy about them displayed in a grid pattern like this but I think a grouping of them would definitely be gorgeous on almost any wall. $895 for the collection of 6.

A Beautiful, Low-Fi Way to Listen to High-Tech Gadgets: The Phonofone II

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

It's all about technology today, and everything needs a power cord or a battery pack -- except this beauty. It's the Phonofone II from Science + Sons, and it's designed to give you full and resonating modern sound but with a touch of nostalgic beauty. The Phonofone II works using only passive amplification techniques, which means no power source needed. All you have to do is connect the earbuds from your iPod or other mP3 player and you'll instantly get all the rich room-filling sound you could want. Handmade of white ceramic, $840.

Poodle Butts by J Schatz

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Behold the Poodle Butt. That is all it is - a glossy pink sculpture of a poodle's posterior. It doesn't light up or play music, but it most certainly will start a conversation. From the same mind that brought us the Buff Humpty Night light, this handcrafted ceramic poodle butt is perfect for those who appreciate a little humor in their home decor. From the J. Schatz Limited Edition Collection, this one answers to Malibu. If a pink poodle butt doesn't go with your color scheme, consider one of her other-colored friends - Luscious, Cocoa or Snowflake. These whimsical table-top sculptures measure 13" high by 13" wide by 10" long. $525.

Rare Device Handleless Mugs

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

When I Sarah's post about these mugs at Slashfood, I was hooked by the minimalist, yet homey design. The Signe Beaker mugs are handmade, with a ceramic transfer about either coffee or tea as decoration. The transfers are all slightly different, but might include descriptions of the flavor profile of a type of coffee or the origin of a particular tea. The mugs are thick, so it is not necessary to worry about them getting too hot to handle and they provide an excellent, comforting way to warm up your hands on a chilly night. Price: $28.

Mom & Love Bud Vases, Mother's Day Gift of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

These tiny ceramic vases don't need to be big to deliver their short, sweet message. Sold as a pair, one reads "mom" and the other, "love." The vases are designed by artist Beth Mueller and the sketches that adorn them are hand painted. Each piece is only 4-inches high, but the size makes them into a keepsake that is easy to find room for. Mom can even keep them on her desk or bedside table, with one or two of her favorite flowers tucked inside, so she can think of you every day. Price: $25.00.

Gnome Be Gone

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The Gnome-Be-Gone lawn ornaments are some of the best things to ever happen to the lawn-ornament in industry. The Fred Conlon designed metal monsters come in a pair and hunt out pesky lawn gnomes wherever they lurk. Much as the gnomes are rumored to move about at night, the Gnome-Be-Gones also move in the dark, but will proudly hold their captive high in the light of day for all to see. The pair comes with a ceramic gnome, in the event that your neighbor is not thrilled with the idea of sacrificing one of their beloved lawn ornaments to the cause. Gnome-Be-Gones will work with other kitschy lawn ornaments, too, such as plastic flamingos and ceramic cat sculptures. Price: $125.

Daniel Ogassian Tiles

Another exhibit that I caught my eye at CABoom was the work of Daniel Ogassian. Ogassian does tile, pottery and furniture that has a modular, puzzle-like appeal. The tiles can be combined in a variety of intriguing shapes. The tiles can be customized with different glazes and patterns using your own graphics. Ogassian also carries the modular look into his ceramic pods like the pod 3 planter shown here. After the jump, check out what I found to be one of Ogassian's most compelling designs, a tile that is designed to let grass grow up through it (and to think all of all that time you wasted weeding between tiles).
