david wiseman is one of my absolute favorite young designers. constantly working on innovative projects and never falling prey to some of the more superficial trends in the industry, wiseman continually produces products and interiors that are both elegant and wonderfully modern. his style manages to straddle the worlds of modern, pop, traditional and minimalist design with ease and what i enjoy most about wiseman’s work is the way that you can follow his design progress and growth with each product. since the fame of his poppy deer hangers wiseman has gone on to create sophisticated wall and ceiling installations for private residences and designed a line of porcelain vases that mastered the art of simplicity and form. wiseman has now teamed up with famed glass designer and manufacturer artel to create the glacier collection- a series of cut glass vessels that experiment with faceting and different textures. each piece is handcut by artel’s czech artisans and contrasts smooth polished surfaces with rougher faceted edges. you can click here to find out more about artel and you can find more on wiseman right here. this collection will debut at the gift fair (artel booth #4045, accent on design). [thanks david and adrian!]

the lovely sophie from we dream in colour emailed me these ‘plastic fantastic‘ necklaces and i just had to post them. i know, not a jewelery site, but i thought they were too cool to pass up. these little plastic people are available for around $28 and are designed by the lovely jade gedeon of we dream in colour. enjoy! [thanks, sophie!]

i’m working on a project involving independent designers so i’ve been storing up some useful links for those living and working in the creative field. i figured some of you might have use for them now rather than later so i thought i’d share some of these quickly.

• icovia design edition: test out this fantastic space planning software. you can check out the free trial online and move walls around, test furniture, accessories, etc. very handy for designers and non-designers alike.
• fractured atlas: passed on by d*s reader natalie, fractured atlas is a fantastic indie artist resource that provides health insurance, marketing, promotion and development resources. a lot to check out so click here to get the full story. could be a great resource for smaller designers.
• and last but not least, a fun new blog that helps you decorate and entertain and style. can be helpful if you’re throwing an art event, hosting an event dinner or just looking to make some contacts or a dinner party. enjoy!

arlene from atlanta’s clear, inc sent along their beautiful vine chair this morning. made of rustic twigs and clear resin, the vine chair is a wonderful way to celebrate nature and the cool, clean lines of minimalist design. you can click here for more info on clear, inc and the vine chair.
