If you're stumped for a unique holiday gift, you could bring some timeliness to a friend's life with this book clock ($19.95) from Etsy seller Recycleeh. Or, if you're feeling handy, you might consider personalizing your friend or family member's favorite book by turning it into a clock.
To make this cool clock, simply choose a hardcover book, without a busy cover, so that the clock numbers are legible. The book also needs to be large enough to fit the clock hands. Aside from the book, you'll need a clock hands set (available at Michael's or other craft store), a ruler, a protractor, pen, paper, scissors, and a drill. The stem of the clock hands set varies between 1/4 and 3/4 inch, so be sure it fits the thickness of your book.
Crafted from things like brass pipes and fittings, refrigerator bulbs, and appliance tubing, along with fine crystal pieces, Michael McHale's chandelier sculptures are the epitome of the high/low design aesthetic. The Four-Bulb Asymmetrical Linear Chandelier shown here goes for $1,499. But, are they fabulous enough for you?
If you want to add a cool touch for holiday wrapping, try using old film strips for ribbons. This would be an especially cool gift wrapping strategy for a film buff or a gift that involved DVDs! Source
As part of our Best of 2008 polls, you named Jonathan Adler as your favorite product designer this year. I'm with you on this one; from pottery and pillows to furniture and rugs, Adler does it all, and fabulously I might add. He even designed the award statuette for this year's Moth Ball! And, he's got something for everyone, at prices high and low, so even the most cash-strapped of us can get in on the Adler. This year especially, I've been wowed by his updated needlepoint and cheeky pottery pieces.
This ultramodern home, which was built by architect Bruce Goff in the mid-'40s, features an interior walkway with cascading fountain and gazing pool. I absolutely adore it, but wonder how I'd keep my dog out. Are you a fan? Michael Rougier for Life Magazine
