Karim Rashid for Alessi Spring 2011

by Tazim Damji

Karim Rashid, typically known for his colourful, whimsical designs takes a different approach with his new collection for Alessi. These new pieces for Alessi, including a fruit holder, citrus basket and tray, are much more geometrical and angular than Rashid's previous designs. The Hellraiser series reminds me of Zelda: Twilight Princess! Citrus basket in mirror polished stainless steel ($266) and gray epoxy resin ($184). Tray in mirror polished stainless steel ($225) and gray ...

by Tazim Damji

inventory stockroom

A Curation of Ideas in Product, Craft and Culture Stores with carefully curated selections of products housed in heritage buildings particularly intrigue me. The 'problem' is that the curated products on their own, lying on a wooden table or on an old-looking shelf, make me curious to know more. . . why were these objects chosen and what makes them so special? Gastown , a historic area inVancouver where design, decor and fashion stores sit next to tourist shops, has a new addition to the ...

On a wander through the area (it is on the way to downtown proper from where I live, so I walk through it a few times a week) the other day, I was pleased to see that the long-empty storefront on West Cordova Street had finally been ...
