Looking at ceramics, we have sometimes wondered why they always have to be so loud. And we weren’t we happy to learn that someone else thought the same. Yep, we are talking about Bailey Doesn’t Bark. This is a ceramic house yielding elegant dinnerware that is not just far from stuffy or too fancy, bust actually very artistic and even funky, if we may say so!
Artist Re Jin Lee is the brain behind the ideation in the photograph above. The four porcelain cups have been decorated by hand with a 23K gold tree in different stages of the four seasons. Wow, some thinking! And being knit-pickers that we are, the name of the season written inside the rim in a script-like font really charmed us!

Motoart is perhaps the one and only organisation to utilize vintage aviation parts into cool looking furniture for both home as well as office. And they have to thank LA based designer Giancarlo De Astis for his creativity and zest to pick airplane parts dumped in Arizona junkyards and convert them into elegant fixtures.
You will be surprised to what an artistic brush can do to discarded flaps, wings, canopies, turbines and other aircraft parts. Well, Astis can give them a second life in the form of desks, tables, credenzas, cabinets and lamps. Some of his most appreciated creations include the Latro Primo desk, the Lo Squalo club chair and the Solo conference table.
