Smeg. Back to 50s.

Oct 28, 2009

smeg1deserving of the “made in italy” label.
Combining style, quality and a particular attention to the smallest details, Smeg has been present in the market for over fifty years but still remains relatively unknown and hardly distributed in North America. Not so in Central and South America.

Smeg sizes are European, i.e., a bit smaller. If you like the 50s look and want “muscle car” size appliances try big chill and elmira northstar

Pantone colors. 2009.

Feb 20, 2009

pantone2009-1
The Pantone Color Institute has released its report detailing the top colors for Fall 2009.
According to men.style.com as described by designers showing at New York fashion week, the list suggests something of a Team USA bent (see “Purple Heart” and “American Beauty”). These shades (pictured above, left to right, top to bottom) are “a direct outcome of what’s happening in the world around us,” says Pantone’s executive director. Maybe so. Notably absent: cash green.

1. Iron (Pantone 18-1306): Percentage of designers who used this color, 16.5
2. Purple Heart (Pantone 18-3520): 15.6
3. Majolica Blue (Pantone 19-4125): 12.8
4. American Beauty (Pantone 19-1759): 11.9
5. Honey Yellow (Pantone 16-1143): 10.1
6. Rapture Rose (Pantone 17-1929): 9.2
7. Burnt Sienna (Pantone 17-1544): 8.2
8. Warm Olive (Pantone 15-0646): 7.3
9. Nomad (Pantone 16-1212): 5.6
10. Creme Brulee (Pantone 13-1006): 2.8

Colors I hate.

Feb 17, 2009

pinkshorts-1

PINK
I'm not sure why I hate the color pink. I do like HOT pink on the RIGHT people.


above: can be found at lucky dog volleyball
pinkcaddy-1

HOT pink signage might work for the right occasion. But pink sweat suits, ski suits, blazers, awnings, dress shirts, ( a pink tie might fly on the right person. ) Pink 57 Caddy's are very HOT.

maroonfly-1

NAVY BLUE & MAROON

Yes, some colleges can pull these colors off = they need to perennially win championships to pull these colors off, however. A navy pee coat is cool. But these colors broadcast old, cigar smoke, narrow minded, uniforms. A navy sport coat on the right people. But never a maroon coat = ushers, flight attendants. I don't think I would fly with an airline that had maroon in their graphic standards manual.

beigegolf-1
BEIGE

Not to be confused with off-white or creme. We know what I’m talking about. Envision a beige fridge. Beige blazer. A beige car with a beige interior! The color even sounds bad. I can’t think of one designer who I respect who gets off on beige. Seriously.

Splashy trash.

Nov 4, 2008



Whether or not you must throw your trash on the street, what about pink and white polka dot designer trash bags? Or Anycoloryoulike?
Each bag is biodegradable and treated with repellent for even rodents of unusual size. Though this is a New York City art intervention initiative, you can splashy trash in your town too.

Middle colors humidifier.

Nov 4, 2008


For many of our readers, winter is just around the corner. And that may mean it’s time to trade the A/C unit for a humidifier. Here is a cute one.
Designed by Takashi Hiroshi Tsuboi, the tear-drop shaped humidifier is ultrasonic and can produce moisture for up to ten consecutive hours. If you speak Japanese or knows someone who does you are in luck as they aren’t yet available in the U.S. But it would make a great gift for someone you really care about, and you too!

Designer: Takashi Hiroshi Tsuboi
Producer: Middle Colors
