DOWNTON ABBEY: From War to Peace to Everything In Between

6 Jan

Just in case you are wondering how many days until the season premier of the Emmy Award winning series Downton Abbey;111 Days, and 18 hours, as of this evening, but who’s counting? Honestly, we’re counting down the days simply because we have been serious die hard fans of the show since it started. It may be months away for U.S. fans, but “Downton Abbey” returned with its third season to the U.K. airwaves Sunday evening (Sept. 16). Yes, we are a bit jealous. However, to gear up for our season premier on January 6, 2013 we curated a few Vintage Victorian era pieces in an effort to get you inspired and excited for the big show too!

Upcycled Memories

17 Jul

Designer Elisa Cavani has succeeded in capturing the art of upcycling in her Manoteca collection. However, it begins with the honor and respect she possess for these bespoke pieces she finds and reinvents in a small house in a park in Bologna, Italy that motivates her to turn them into striking and functional one-offs for today’s interiors. She takes pride in renewing and restoring old and abandoned objects mostly with reclaimed and recycled materials. She believes each object holds the story of someone’s life. Her hope is to bring new life to these objects in hopes that the future owner will think about the stories and memories linked with the object and treasures it.

Indoor Door Table. Industrial and upcycling at it’s best. Formerly, an exterior door used for an entrance. Closed, it will seat up to 8 people for dining. Prop the lift door and it multitasks as a one person studio. The leather pocket holders donated by an old sofa are perfect for office supplies, and writing tools.

La Nuit de Noel: Dancing Tree. A tilted trunk patiently rusted by water and salt acts as a basin for the water that continuously feeds the Olive tree. A tear drop of light powered by a wire wrapped delicately through and around a branch reflects off of the water source in the trunk.

Olmo: Kitchen Table. A transformed rugged carpenter bench is now a thing of beauty. A vivid white porcelain sink sits amiably in the aged weathered wood.

Convivio ( Ch’i”ola): Kitchen Island. Features a clamp and a light. While somebody’s cooking, somebody’s eating.

Il Fausto: Tricycle Light. The steel tricycle purchased at a flea market is now a book rack and rolling light in one. With a long wire, it can park anywhere.

L’ego: Mirror on a easel. Perfect name for this versatile mirror that travels and adjusts with ease.
