The War Bowl

Filed under: Decor, Art

Hmm, I really don't know how I feel about this War Bowl. Designed by Mosley meets Wilcox. It's representative of something, but you'll have to decide what it means to you. Created by melting plastic soldiers together -- half French infantry and half British artillery from the Battle of Waterloo -- the end result is a sad but interesting looking dish that I doubt anyone would actually use to keep anything in. It kinda looks like an accident to me, like a pile of children's play soldiers ended up getting melted somehow and ruined. It also reminds me of the "Fall of the Damned" lampshade and might look interesting placed directly beneath it...

The War Bowl measures 4"x17.3" and is only available in blue for this particular soldier version, but the Mosley meets Wilcox website has other versions of War Bowls including red ninjas and black knights. $229

Hula Hula Clock

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Whether you love this Hula Hula clock by Tony Wurman for its beauty or its construction, it earns your appreciation either way. Looking at it you get a crazy mix of colored stripes turned every which way on pieces seamed together in a way commonly used in traditional glass work. And although it looks like glass (reflective and luminescent) and acts like rubber (flexible and resilient), it's actually made of a special blend of eva hotmelt adhesive plastic. Hand crafted in New York city, there is no waste and all excess materials are recycled and reused. The Hula Hula clock measures 12" in diameter and is available for $246.

ReDO Folding Chair

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

An aluminum-framed folding chair is more likely to be on the sidelines at the child's soccer game with cheering parents than in a well-appointed garden, but the ReDo Chair by John Paul Plauche is redefining the classic in an upscale way. The limited edition chair has black leather webbing instead of the more traditional and much cheaper plastic or vinyl, yet it is lightweight and folds up in the same way as the original chair because the aluminum frame is that of one of the original chairs. The armrests are finished hardwood. Price: $2,500.
