NEW YORK DESIGN SCENE

Designed by Brooklyn-based designers Silva/Bradshaw, Quadro is a visually lightweight table designed as a composition of geometric shapes and sinuous curves.  The simple elegance of the final form hides a production process that demands the most exacting precision: flat cut and bent aluminum meets bevelled glass at a curving chamfer.

Nice, clean lines from this talented duo.  Available at Matter.

Prolific New York designer Harry Allen did it again with this modular seating/furniture piece for Dune.

It’s called ‘Pipeline’.  Read more about it at Designboom.

A new feature at one of our fave design blogs, Design Milk recently ventured into giving free designer desktop backgrounds!

This installment of Design Milk’s Designer Desktops monthly desktop wallpaper series was inspired by Thomas Edison. It was created by talented typographer, designer, and developer Brandon Oxendine.

With its satisfying, bubble-like form and in-built filter, Karim Rashid’s new ‘Bobble’ water bottle offers an altogether more eco-friendly and stylish way to quench your thirst than the dreaded disposable bottle.

The clever, reusable device purifies the water through a carbon filter as you drink, removing nasty contaminants. Made from recycled plastic, it comes in a cheerful array of colours.

So, you can check out his 5 favorite things on Design Milk.

West Village home furnishings, jewelry, bags, and accessories emporium. Decor is retro meets organic (think oriental mirrors paired with barren tree branches).

I saw this lovely chair while walking around the Meatpacking District last ICFF.  The owner of Greenpoint Works had set-up a truck where they exhibited these Acapulco chairs (talk about a mobile offsite event – free of charge!).
