useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous

it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer,
traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads,
succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,
low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max
Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum,
pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism
magazines of current
interest

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

thanks to 'elit alice'
 Don't you love this whimsical chair? I found this on ElitAlice, a design blog from what looks like Sweden, language-wise, but stats-wise, might be Hungary. Could anyone help me out on identifying the language? She commented on my musings on the designer portrait post, so I clicked over. Delightful. Check out her blog. It is translated into English. Suitcase chair: John Knott of Bent Fabrication. Apparently the suitcase chair has been circulated quite a bit around the blog circle, so let me also add one of my own furniture favorites from Bent Fabrication, made of zebra wood, teak, aluminum, polished gel coat over fiberglass and medical supply cases. Now that is an interesting combination of materials! And quite a dramatic piece at 10 feet 4 inches long!  John Knott received his BA in Architecture from the University of Houston in 1991. That makes us the same age. He founded Bent Fabrication in 2002. Labels: architecture, furniture, interior design

i can help. :)
its hungarian, but you're not far from the truth thinking of sweden, hungarian is actually from the same roots as finish. quite close. :)
thanks for your entry, im really awed!!!
theres an english version too, just click on the word english.... hope you found it?
Thanks for writing! Wow, I did not know that about the relationship between Hungarian and Finnish! That is neat. What does the title of your blog translate to? I think of it as 'According to Alice' or 'Alice Wrote,' not having any idea really. Am curious to know.
its simply ELITE. :)
i started the blog because i was fed up with the low standards hungarian female online magazins had. ;)
(i only started to translate it to english too lately..)
