The public is more familiar with bad design than good design.

It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.

The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.

We've had these sleek watering cans from Born In Sweden instore for several months now, but I finally brought a red one home for my use. Figured if I had something so fantastic to remind me to water my small plants, they might actually have a chance of survival!
So far, so good...

DVF Thinks Botox is for Babies
Sexy at (almost) 62: Diane Von Furstenberg
Sexy at (almost) 62: Diane Von Furstenberg
For all her flaws (and I know several former staffers who could ramble endlessly on the topic), Diane Von Furstenberg's style and drive, professional and personal inventiveness and joie de vivre is the stuff icons are made of. The broad is an original.
So, as is her M.O., DVF's comments about aging to the UK's Stella magazine this week are equally headline-grabbing provocative and genuine belief:
"I know that a lot of people look at me and think, 'Why doesn't she do something to that face?' But I made a decision. I do yoga and I hike, but I won't do Botox. I know if I start doing things I will get insecure. You wear your own face. It is a little bit of your history, a little bit of who you are."
Sage words from a grandmother facing her 62nd birthday at the end of this year (December 31).
Unfortunately, it's too late for way too many women, and men, I have to look at daily, their mugs so significantly altered beyond anything that occurs in the natural world that it borders on freak show.

Artisan Lauren Coleman was in A+R recently installing several of her exquisitely rendered terrariums. Made under the Litill name, each glass container is mouthblown according to Lauren's design. She then carefully constructs an ephemeral mini-world inside with handpainted elements, sparkling minerals and crystals and uncommon succulents. We have 8 instore right now. Visit.
