NY Break | OJ x DI | Illustrated Silver

designbreak — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:31:37 +0000

I know it’s my bad, but I discovered the world of Oliver Jeffers not so long ago, however I did carry the business card of Aaron Ruff aka Digby & Iona all the way from NYC during my last visit.
And now… Oliver’s favorite characters (remember, he is a mega children’s’ book author and illustrator) came to life under the hands of the super talented jeweler, Aaron. It’s a match made in the illustrated heaven! No need to say more, head to their fun OJxDI for some more childish spirit.
The Paper Plane out of “The Great Paper Caper”, The Boy and The Penguin out of “Lost & Found” and other cuties are just around the corner.

NY Break | Allison Patrick | Typographic Light

designbreak — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:19:47 +0000

Did you see my NY Break? It’s been way too long so the minute I stumbled upon Allison Patrick’s rad lighting pendant lamps, I knew it was time to have some extra delicious New York flavor around here. It feels like Allison gives the term “crafty person” a new meaning. She is crazy talented and her lamps are so pretty! I’m sure there are piles and piles of new designs over there just waiting to come out.
BTW, you can read an interview with Allison right here or even visit her blog right here.
Just one more thing, the name behind it all is Zipper8Lighting, that’s right Zipper8Lighting, start memorizing it ;)

NY Break | Fay Andrada | Shapes That Make You Smile

Einat Kayless Argaman — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:54:27 +0000

Lets start with three facts: a graphic designer, an illustrator, a metalsmith. All three are in fact one Fay Andrada.
This lady has what it takes when it comes to making drop dead gorgeous jewelry!
I can’t stress enough how rare it is to find simple yet unique pieces of heaven out there and Fay knows the right mix of shapes, materials and simplicity.
Don’t skip her blog and shop.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you about getting hooked ;)

NY Break | Bailey Doesn’t Bark | Ants, Dots and In Between

Einat Kayless Argaman — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:18:20 +0000

Re Jin Lee is one of my idols. Not many people can work beautifully with the white and simple aspect of design.
On the other hand, not many will say something like: “I purposely kept the design very minimal so it goes well with any other tableware”.
When I need a quite moment, I wander into Re Jin’s Bailey Doesn’t Bark web site. She has it all from tableware to jewelry and stationary. The fact that she shares her process and behind the scenes makes me love her even more! Thank you Re Jin for all the beauty you bring to the world!

NY Break | For Me, For You | Kate Miss | So Long New York…

Einat Kayless Argaman — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 22:00:26 +0000

I guess friendship bracelets happen all over the world.
For Me, For You jewelry collection is Inspired by the friendship bracelets of Kate Miss’s childhood. The necklaces are made of handwoven Japanese cotton thread.
Just before Kate makes her big move to LA, leaving NY behind, I had to share with you her Bits Of My Weekend, which made me love NY even more (if it’s even possible) with her memorable and personal photographs.
You can read more about the unforgettable Kate right here.

NY Break | Alessandra Olanow | New York life comes alive

Einat Kayless Argaman — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:53:03 +0000

Alessandra Olanow is all about capturing a glimpse of the hectic NY life.
I find it exciting getting to know this city through local eyes. The daily newspaper, the local dogs or even the ordinary couples, they all have a place in Alessandra’s world of creation and I’m happy to join the ride.
You can read a lot more about Alessandra right here.
Don’t forget to visit her shop which is filled with tote bags that make it hard to choose which one to buy first ;)
