Vortex Water Fountains
Water features have got to be the top must-have features in gardens. One of the best designers who creates wonderful water sculptures is William Pye (UK). He takes his inspiration from nature and the way he manipulates water is truly outstanding such as his vortex fountains. Although he makes smaller versions, the largest one has got to be his masterpiece. The fountain is called Charybdis and is located in Seaham Hall in Sunderland, UK.
Why he named it such will be familiar to those who know their Greek mythology. Charybdis was once a sea nymph who made the God Zeus mad enough to change her into a monstrous whirlpool which swallowed up whole ships. Pye’s vortex fountain has all the mesmerizing beauty of the original siren it was named after. The fountain has steps around it which serves as viewing platforms so people can gaze at the vortex from above. A transparent acrylic cylinder is where water rushes through under high pressure and forms a sustained air core in the middle. The filtration system has to be very good to keep the vortex fountain in tip-top shape. - Via

Catching the Wild - The Coat Stand
I remember how much I loved westerns movies when little, so I suppose that’s why this odd and innovative piece of furniture, Catching the Wild, appeals to me. It’s a coat stand made of steel and polyester rope that looks just like a lasso. It should be perfect to catching your clothes if you’re into … wild things. My idea is that it would work really well in a bar for cowboys, don’t you think?
Stolenwood Studio took care of the design. Too bad we don’t know for sure when can we buy and for how much money. - via decosfera

2leather by rodolfo dordonitags: livingroom
HINTS OF EAMES quietly percolate through Rodolfo Dordoni’s 2Leather series, although these chairs are decidedly more floral and organic in shape. Our favorite features are the slightly flared armrests which blend perfectly into the seat’s soft leather shell. Viewing from any angle reveals delicate petal-like lines, outlined with welting and a sliver of black piping.
