Yoox X Sylvster II.


The North Carolina born, Bay Area raised, New York resident Reginald Sylvester II… (NOT Jr. II.  He’s dope like that) has a brand new team up with a familiar force in the fashion landscape.  Yoox.  “The desire to break down the boundaries between art, design and fashion. The need to create something unique and unprecedented.”  Their collection ‘OUR HOUSE’ speaks from a community born from the artistic vision of Tschabalala Self, Brandon Blackwood and Reginald Sylvester II.  “Three creative minds that have come together in perfect harmony.”  Sylvester’s “Candle Vessel” is the result of his experience and sensitivity and packaging created by Tschabalala Self.  This abstract piece is more than an eye catcher, it speaks to the unique and distinguished talents of its creator, check the Yoox website to see if you can get a hold of one for yourself.

The Shape Of Things To Come.


Curves are the new black when it comes to industrial design. From the elongated drop silhouette of Apple’s Macbook AIR laptop computer, to the very sexy swooping lines of the Fisker “Karma” Hybrid Sports Car.  From time to time, my staff will sometimes run across objects of desire that are truly intriguing by design but confusing when it comes to function. This collection of leather home accessories by Jerome Olivet for French home furnisher Roche Bobois, is a perfect example of this. From what we could gather we have a photo-frame, a basket, a magazine rack, a laptop surface?, a charger plate?, a vase? and a flux capacitor? Whatever they are intended to function as, they are certainly beautifully designed with luscious gradient curves begging to be touched. I suppose that when objects look this good, they don’t really need an obvious function.
