This staircase is amazing and I’ve never seen anything like it! It was designed by HŠH architects, and is made of 10mm thick sheet metal. I’d love to see it in real life!

lumigram clothing
Using fiber-optic technology, French company LumiGram has created a cloth that glows! It’s not glow-in-the-dark, rather it actually casts a soft light – each clothing item comes with a battery pack that will keep your clothes glowing for around 12 hours after each charge. Interesting, no? Check out all their styles here.

maps are beautiful
Black*Eiffel spotted these sweet old cartography maps, so carefully made by Harold Fisk in 1944! They portray the alluvial valley of the lower Mississippi River, and the ribbons of color are the banks of the river at various times in history. Very interesting, and very very pretty. See the whole set at Radical Cartography!
recycle that newspaper box!
Why don’t people do more things like this? I love it! Artist Posterchild turned this abandoned newspaper box into a planter, with the help of a couple pieces of wood! There are so many empty newspaper boxes around Philly – I think we need some flowers for them! Click here for better pictures.

moxy crochet
These blankets from Moxy Crochet are just so amazing and intricate! I think part of the appeal for me is the color combinations – too pretty!

textured leather
I’ve been really into wall coverings that are more textured lately, so of course I love these sweet leather panels by Genevieve Bennett. Aren’t they pretty? I would feel tempted to rub my hands over it all the time if I got one. More on Genevieve’s site.

dandelion bed
I just had to post this amazing bed by Margaret Elman. It is antique from the 1930’s, but she reupholstered it with this pretty dandelion fabric! It’s a really interesting look – I like it!

some clever slings
These slings are such a good idea! They’re not just funny, but useful for when you get to the point that you are tired of telling the story of your broken bone over and over and over…

Craftzine found a really interesting article about how silk is made over on True Up. It’s definitely worth checking out!
