Found It! Tommy Hilfiger Window Display Chandelier

CasaSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:00:50 -0700

Cruising through downtown San Francisco, I stopped to look at this Tommy Hilfiger window display at Macy's. I like the cohesive statement the yellow chandelier, mantel, and chairs makes. It looks sunny in a cozy way, but it also seems peculiar to me to see Adirondack chairs used indoors. Nevertheless, the bright yellow antler chandelier is my favorite element. Wondering where you can buy one for yourself? Then read more.

It's the Antler Chandelier ($2,875 with six antlers) by artist Jason Miller. It originally debuted in only a natural white color, but now it's available in 50 other custom colors with four to 24 antlers. This color is called Harvest.

Love It or Hate It? Woolly Chair

Designer Jason Miller created the Woolly chair from a whole, tanned bison hide, which was folded and sewn onto pieces of industrial wool felt. Is it your style, or is it a little too wild and wooly for your taste?

Guess What This Pot Was Formed With?

This terracotta pot was formed using a recycled product that we all have in our recycling bin. You can even use it to make a seed pot in a pinch.

Designer Spotlight: Jason Miller

CasaSugar — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:00:53 -0700

Having worked as a studio assistant for Jeff Koons, an art director at Ogilvy and a designer for Karim Rashid between '95 and '01, Jason Miller decided it was time to step up his game and start his own design studio in Brooklyn — and he wasn't getting ahead of himself. Miller has pinned solo exhibitions all over the map, from LA to Tokyo, and everywhere in between, and been applauded with prestigious awards like Bombay Sapphire's "Rising Star" award and Wallpaper's "Best Breakthrough Designer" award, and named a "Tastemaker" by Forbes for his quirky contemporary designs, be it furniture, interiors, or bus stops. If that weren't enough of a pat on the back, his work is in the Permanent Collection of New York's Museum of Arts and Design, and he's got clients like Areaware, Persol, Brookstone, Carlo Rossi, Kikkerland, and Idee at his beck and call.

If you can't place his name, I'll give you a nudge by reminding you of his Ceramic Antler Chandelier, which single-handedly started the hunting trend that The New York Times has so lovingly already pegged "over." A brief glance at his portfolio, marked by low-res photos used as background for projects with titles like "Whatever Flowerpots" and "Dusty Tables," and you'll probably think a: he has no design experience or b: he's got to be joking. Well, that latter is only true, and in truth, the joke's on you; his terracotta flowerpots are shaped, not made, of whatever (beer cans, plastic jugs), and his table doesn't suggest that a neglected furnishing is a design, but the dusty table is coated in a finish making it only appear so — real grime is optional. It's no wonder pubs like Dwell, Domino, Metropolitan Home, and House & Garden have been all over him like, well, dust on a table; he's miraculously made everyday dirt trendy.

The New York Times claims that the trend appeal of this Jason Miller Ceramic Antler Chandelier ($2,200) has bit the dust. Do you agree? Or would you prefer to hang a real antler chandelier from your ceiling?

Sienna Brings Her Wizard to See the Stars of Tennis

PopSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:30:00 -0700

Lots of famous faces were out in NYC over the weekend to take in the US Open. Tennis lover Anna Wintour had her eye on her friend and your favorite shirtless player Roger Federer, while others like Gavin Rossdale, Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban took in matches of their own. The biggest headline of the weekend, however, was 17-year-old Melanie Oudin who entered the tournament unranked and became the youngest American to make the US Open semifinals since Serena Williams in 1999! Sienna Miller brought her guy George Barker, aka DJ Slinky Wizard, along for a game as well. They were partially occupied with their own PDA, which we've come to expect after their loved-up antics on a boat in Italy last month.
