Twenty8Twelve

My dear readers, I am on a trip that keeps me away from the internet. Here is my attempt to make up for the lost time. My posting today is about Twenty8Twelve an elegant and easy to wear collection of neutral tones and sexy designs. This is a company created sisters by Savannah and Sienna Miller based in The Netherlands. The whole line is beautiful and perfect for all sorts of occasions. You can’t go wrong with Twenty8Twelve.

This is why Industrial Design is so fun and inspiring. Here is a design firm that makes a wide variety of products and they all carry a consistent sophisticated look. Clean and functional design that makes your home a better place.  These are all from Side By Side, a German based company founded in 2001.

Bokja

When it comes to eclectic interior design Bokja is the first thing that comes to mind. They combine the most beautiful and traditional furniture design with bright colored fabrics. Bokja is a lead by a female duo based in Beirut. The pair shares a love for vintage furniture and ancient textile and tapestries. If you need a small make over in your home this is a really fun way to spice it up. For more of Bokja furniture click here.

Bent Basket

Check this bicycle basket, it’s the Bent Basket. It was designed by a San Francisco commuter who biked to school and now to work and had a hard time finding a better way to carry things with him. He saw the need and came up with a solution. The design is functional, versatile and yet made with simple materials. For more information visit the website here.

Gretel Home

Here are some of my favorite articles by Gretel Home. The utensils on top are modern and influenced by simple design. They also carry a good assortment of porcelain vases, these two vases are a great example a traditional vase with unique textures. Enjoy they whole collection here.

Alexander Wang’s New Bags

Alexander Wang continues to make beautiful bags, here are my favorite bags of the season. They are made with supple leathers, metal zippers and have a very relaxed look to them. The deconstructed look and long strap bags are still strong trends, this is a beautiful mix of both movements. Even though they have a edgy look they are still very wearable styles that can be worn for years to come.  You can visit Alexander Wang’s website or you can visit Aloha Rack to get these and other designer’s collections. Aloha Rack is a great place to find designer brands that are elegant and easy to wear.

Loeffler Randall

Here are my two favorite pieces from Loeffler Randall‘s Spring 2009 collection. Biker inspired jackets are still a strong trend, this one uses silver zippers to highlight the style. Jumpers are just starting to pick up as a style. I love women in jumpers but be sure to try them out before you buy them, not all jumpers are for everyone. This Loeffler Randall jumper has a boned bodice, side pockets and a leather belt, I haven’t seen it in person but this looks like a winner in my book. Check these and more of Loeffler Randall here.
