Chair of the Day
Everyone needs a kitchen stool to reach all those things we bought and meant to use. Such as (in my case): a chicken-shaped cake mold (used once), some lollipop molds (what was I thinking?) and lots of weird, Asian spices (Misterarthur’s fault).
Anyway, here’s an old favorite designed by Benjamin Franklin. It’s a chair and a ladder! And, it can julienne fries in minutes. Find this at Kitchen Source.
Plynyl Carpeting
I really love Plynyl. I discovered it while in Montreal. The hotel we stayed in, The Gault, installed it in their guest rooms, over radiant heated floors. It’s beautiful and you can clean it with a mop. It looks like fabric and has a thousand and one uses. Walls, floors, custom mats, car interiors. It’s really cool stuff. What is Plynyl? It’s woven vinyl fabric that’s bonded to a polyurethane cushion. The manufacturer is Chilewich.
Livinglass is a Cool Drink of Water
Don’t you wish you knew where this bar was? I’d like to know, but so far all I know is that it was made with lots of Livinglass. Not living ass! It’s glass. You will fall in love with their web site and the obvious thousand and one uses (my fave thing because it really makes you think creatively).
Livinglass is a laminated architectural glass that specializes in sandwiching recycled glass with decorative interlayers of over 100 recycled or recyclable natural materials. It’s like 3form, and its many copy cats. Both are very green. I like the way this company has rethought some of the embeddment ideas. And, it’s more durable than 3form. I hate to say it, but sometimes 3form’s finish can wear off.
Livinglass products can be used indoors or outdoors, in wet areas or in sunlight, with exposed or concealed edges, without deterioration, de-lamination, or wicking. I hate wicking!
