I often find things for children that I like to write about on BloesemKids but the artist or designer also makes nice things for us…the moms and dads, so I have to show it here too… like Libby Anderson, who is a designer originally from Portland, Oregon but currently lives with her fiance and their dog Hudson in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Libby graduated from the School of Architecture at University of Oregon. Don’t you just like this horse pattern on the pillow? For more about Libby and what she likes visit her blog.

For Milan Party, Ico Migliore Plays the T Card
Posted in: Uncategorized

Remember the quintet of artist- and architect-designed covers of T: The New York Times Style Magazine in celebration of its fifth anniversary? Architect and exhibition designer Ico Migliore transformed the five special T logos—created by Frank Gehry, Jenny Holzer, Jeff Koons, Doug and Mike Starn, and Francesco Vezzoli—into giant playing cards for a T party at the Bulgari Hotel in Milan during the city’s fashion week. The evening was hosted by Janet L. Robinson, president and CEO of The New York Times Company; T magazine editor Stefano Tonchi, and Vezzoli, whose own T (at left) riffs on Man Ray‘s iconic “Tears” photo. Guests such as Tomas Maier, Frida Giannini, Neil Barrett, and Giambattisa Valli tried not to interpret the giant houses of cards as a metaphor for the media industry. Click “continued…” for an overhead shot that smacks of Alice in Wonderland—if Wonderland was full of gentlemen in expertly tailored suits.

Tracy Glover’s Mouth-Blown Glass
Posted in: Uncategorizedby Tisha Leung
Tracy Glover‘s mouth-blown glass works illuminate vivid swirling patterns evocative of Pucci patterns. Working out of an old textile mill in Cranston, Rhode Island, Glover follows typical Venetian glassblowing techniques first learned while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, crafting her skill into into custom-made lighting, vases, doorknobs and drawer pulls.
Glover’s ability and utilization of the A Canne (striping) and Primavera (bubbling) effects are a result of her time spent working at a Belgian convent’s crystal factory and by observing Italian masters at Dale Chihuly’s Pilchuck School of Glass in Seattle.
Notable pieces in her collection are the Prospect Hill door knobs and pulls (pictured above) and the Cairn inverted ceiling lamps (pictured after the jump). All of her work is made to order, and comes in a variety of colorways, patterns and styles. See the Tracy Glover website for a full look at her collection.
