A new addition to the already long list of amazing Dutch designers at Generate - his name is Laurens van Wieringen, and he's producing some very innovative design. A case in point is "Carpet", a colorful, topographical landscape made out of "many" little bars of polyurethane foam - brilliant!

Calder Jewelry Exhibit

Recognized as one of America’s most innovative modern artists, Alexander Calder (1898–1976) redefined sculpture through his iconic mobiles, stabiles, and the popular Cirque Calder. Calder’s work in metal jewelry, however, is one form of his artistic output that is less known. Throughout his life, the artist produced more than 1,800 jewelry works of art, each made entirely by hand. This is the first exhibition devoted exclusively to his unique body of jewelry work, and consists of approximately one hundred objects, including necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and tiaras.

The Great Ceiling Fan Debate



My husband and I have been discussing the issue of whether to install a hanging light or ceiling fan with a light in our master bedroom, which has extremely high ceilings. I was against a ceiling fan for purely aesthetic reasons. Granted, there are many sleek, modern fan designs on the market these days, but we have a mid-century modern interior design sensibility, and I was having trouble seeing the new, ultra modern fans in that type of interior. Well, I think we've solved the problem. These fans fit my criteria of working well in a mid-century modern interior while providing my husband with the utility of a ceiling fan. Now we just need to find a very tall ladder to install one of these.

Keri Ataumbi has taken Native American jewelry design in a very non-traditional direction by combining the history of modernism with her own personal aesthetic. She approaches jewelry making as a process of creating wearable art, forms that are small sculptures whether on or off the body. At Four Winds Gallery.
