Revival

I’m crushing all over this collaboration between illustrator Libby van der Ploeg and Brooklyn shop Dusty Rose Vintage. It’s called Revival, and captures a series of female style icons whose style and thinking has had a lasting influence on our culture. Pretty and empowering! (And for those of you wondering, prints are available.)

Askov Finlayson x Hygge & West

Menswear label Askov Finlayson has teamed up with home goods company Hygge & West for a limited edition line of wallpaper. The collection consists of two designs, both inspired by Askov Finlayson founder, Eric Dayton’s, childhood memories of winter in Minnesota. The two designs are available in four colors, and every sheet is hand-screen-printed in the U.S.A. I love the organic look of both and would say this collaboration is quite the success!

Dusen Dusen x Highlow Jewelry

Being part of a successful collaboration is one of the best feelings (you work well with others!), and it’s even better when it looks this good. Dusen Dusen and Highlow Jewelry teamed up after being mutual fans, doing a product swap with one another, then joking about selling a dress and necklace combo pack. After noticing people were already pairing their two brands together Ellen van Dusen and Sonya Gallardo decided to combine the two, creating this pattern laden collection – Dusen Dusen x Highlow Jewelry.

Issey Miyake x Iittala

Designers love Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake, and now they’ve partnered with Finnish brand Iittala to create a range of homeware which includes pleated place mats, tote bags, and more. The collaboration – Issey Miyake x Iittala – has been in development for four years and includes thirty textile, ceramic, and glass pieces for the home. The technology developed for use in the pleating is fascinating, employing a technique that uses steam to pleat the fabric into origami-like patterns as well as a process that involves baking material in an oven. And that pastel palette? Perfect for spring.

Meteo

I have this thing for floor rugs, and greatly wish I could afford a few more so they could be switched out occasionally. The latest target of my affections is the Meteo line, a collaboration between French designer Inga Sempé and Golran. The contemporary Persian designs feature three different soft, contemporary geometric patterns that are each available in three colors.

#365quotes2016

If you follow @designcrush on Instagram you’ve probably noticed the resurrection of #365quotes in the form of #365quotes2016. When the end of last year rolled around and people were still lamenting the original project’s demise I figured I’d give it another go! This year the design is a bit different, I’ve abandoned the daily handwritten style in favor of something more type driven and time saving. But rest assured that no less time is spent choosing just the right words.
