We recieved an email recently from Katie Parker at
The Nought Collective, which specialize in the design and production of hand made silk rugs from Nepal. These stunning hand-knotted carpets, in silk, wool and cashmere blends, use a monochromatic palette and are unique, sophisticated and modern pieces that would not only "work" in any one's apartment, but inspire and enhance.
The designs are based on the reflection of light on wire images and the iridescent silk changes the entire look of the rug depending on your perspective, resulting in their
"Phoenicia" design being nominated for an Interior Design "Best of Year" Award in 2007.
The above image is an actual rug being hand-knotted in Nepal. It features the "borealis" design in their graphite color palette and truly illustrates the scope and luminescence of the carpet. It also conveys how personal the creation of these rugs are - usually about four people work on one rug at a time.

What we know as a doorbell, a square box, does not actually indicate its function. In Peter van der Jagt's 'Bottoms Up' for avant garde design-house Droog, nothing is hidden. The sound is created and symbolised by the crystal wine glasses. The doorbell announces guests with a musical toast.
Established & Sons is the brainchild of Wallpaper magazine's co-founder Alasdhair Willis.
Function and design work together on our recent refurbishment of Main Beach Deli on Tedder Avenue, Gold Coast.

Dinner: Toko 490 Crown St, Surry Hills, Sydney. "The food starts arriving; first the sushi and sashimi, followed rapidly by the crabs. All three are excellent, the sushi a satisfying explosion of flavours, the sashimi meltingly fresh. The tiny crabs are crispy but not oily, the wasabi mayonnaise kindly subtle". writes Elizabeth Meryment
A dear friend 'the artist' Eleanor Millard emailed me today (to say hi) and I wanted to share a couple of her wonderfully, individual pieces of art.
