for the meadow portion of our february catalog, featuring the lovely noot seear, our team shot at the home of artist melanie rothschild, an incredible geodesic dome located in topanga canyon, ca. geodesic domes are enclosed spherical – or partially spherical – structures that are based on a network of intersecting circles that create a pattern of triangles – the most famous example is disney’s epcot center.
geodesic domes became increasingly common in the 60s and 70s, popular for their energy efficiency and unique, eco-friendly style, but since then have waned as they aren’t very practical. they’re still fascinating though and these images from around the web are making me wish i lived in one buried in a forest strung with lots of christmas lights and full of shag carpets and oversized pillows.
these were invented by buckminster fuller, who had amazing, forward-thinking ideas about sustainability, urban crowding, and eco-preservation. he used these structures because triangles are the cheapest, strongest, most versatile shape to build with–not like the rectangles we mostly see today.
i would love a little dreamy dome home like these!
Wow, I want to live in one of them!
i didn’t have a chance to do a diy project this week, so i thought i’d share some diy inspiration from around the web that i have saved and would like to try at some point…i’ve got my work cut out for me!
make your own hangers simply by gathering sticks and twisting hooks into them! this is exactly the kind of makeover my closet needs for spring- these hangers are perfect for little strappy tanks that slide off the sides of normal hangers! plus i always love the rustic feel of using bits of nature inside the home.
for an added touch, paint the sticks!
continuing with today’s map theme, i love these little map hearts! a great way to incorporate a place you love into your wall art, or a really sweet idea for your loved one if you’re in a long distance relationship or if there’s a place that is significant to your relationship.
i found these sweet rings on etsy and i think they’d be pretty easy to make on your own! cut a thin slice of wood from a stick and either draw on it with a sharpie, OR – wouldn’t it be cute to carve the initials into it like you would with an actual tree?
and last but not least – i am dyyying to try these amazing bracelets that honestly…wtf has posted tutorials for! check them out here and here.
I love the rings…I’ll totally attempt making them soon!
I tried that first braided bracelet idea.
I’m making a fringe necklace and I braided one of the chains: http://www.champagneandmarshmallows.com/2011/02/recent-buys-and-diys.html
I love the rings, bracelets and everything of you!
i adore these globes by ImagineNations! they take vintage globes and decoupage artwork onto them, and they also do custom commissions. what a rad idea. i would love a patchwork globe… hint hint display team!
wow. i am speechless! these are brilliant
I saw these before and I love them so much; especially that butterfly one! What amazing creativity and precision!
love the butterfly one. what a great idea!
The Free People Wholesale team is at Coterie in NYC, it’s a massive trade show filled with exciting labels. Department stores such as Saks, Harvey Nicholas and many other cute little boutiques and department stores from around the world visit to see what labels they would like to buy and showcase.
The wholesale team set up a beautiful booth accessorized with ipads so customers can view our digital Fp lifestyle and beautiful fashion forward lookbooks. Whilst I was there, I snapped the style of our girls. Don’t they look adorable!?
Our Creative Director made the necklace to the right!
