The Cliffhanger is a design by German designer Thomas Schmitz from Stilsucht and its natural habitat is primarily – but not exclusively – in typical German “Altbau” high ceilinged, raw, pre war buildings apartments, since two parallel water pipes are necessary to utilize the clever helper. Cliffhanger is simply clipped between them and is then available as a flexible hook. No matter whether you want to warm up the bath towel, hang a net of onions, lemons or potatos in the kitchen or want to clear away jackets and coats, the hook is versatile and universally usable and convinces through its wonderfully unpretentious appearance while being easily fastened by its own weight.

I know we live in a plastic and technology driven world with new material choices being developed almost everyday, but to me nothing can beat the inherent beauty of wood. Somehow I stumbled upon BDJ Craft Works and its extraordinarily talented owner Brian David Johnson. Located in Austin Texas, this is a man who understands wood and the creation of beautifully streamlined contemporary designs. From his smaller decorative pieces such as wooden vases and planters (which can be found on his etsy shop) to furnishings and custom cabinetry. He has a modern design flair that shines through.
Here are just a few snippets of his work…

I am a gardener at heart. I love growing flowers and vegetables in the summer and attempting to keep my indoor plants alive in the winter. These new planters from Luca Nichetto Design Studio will be the perfect compliment to a contemporary exterior. Plantrellis is a collection of three concrete outdoor planters with coordinating metal trellises designed for Berga. They have a great modern design and the trellis can provide a splash of color as a backdrop for your greenery. The planters can be used as singular units or in combination with or without the trellises attached. The trellises can also be used independently or in various formations to create an interconnected system among the planters. The Plantrellis Collection is being shown at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which runs from February 5th through the 9th.
