Here and there I wind up watching a few children in the building that I work in(ones aside from the child I watch every day) Most of the families living in that building happen to do alot of design work, whether it be architecture or advertising, so they happen to have alot of great books to browse. A few years back when I worked at a small shop out on eastern Long Island(lots of eastern Long Island references tonight, google it, haha) We used to sell alot of unusual, design pleasing pieces. One in particular were this light bulb coverings by a designer named Tord Boontje, they were like a garland of intricate flowers cut from metal. These light coverings were inspired by a permanent collection at the MoMa(museum of modern art) I loved them, however I really could not spend the $75 dollars to buy one, and living where I was living was just an invitation for it to get destroyed(party house)
Well recently while babysitting up at the neighbors, I came across a whole book on TordBoontje's work and it was so very inspiring, so beautiful, so unique, I can go on and on explaining it. It was drool worthy.
The pictures of his studio..................amazing.

I am asking for this book for Christmas(you hear that Will)
Its a pretty big book, lots of texture and feel to it. It makes me want to go crazy with paper and scissors. Just gorgeous. I just love this designer. So very creative, love, love, love. Well thats it! Happy Friday:)
