Textile texture

Remember those gorgeous Björk-ish knit neckpieces? Well, Ditte has collaborated with fellow design students, Pil Bang Fischer and Josephine Dohlmann, to create 'Skin & Bone', "a series of new innovative furniture created from the concept of melting textiles and furniture." If you happen to be in Stockholm for the Furniture Fair, have a seat on these for me! I'd love to have the loveseat in my house (although I'm sure you'd definitely not want to fall asleep with your face on such a textured surface). Sigh. These vaguely remind me of this gorgeous woven bodysuit/armour from Osklen's A/W 10 collection (photo via ASVOF).

Hmm, two furniture posts in two days. Methinks I'm thinking about domestic matters...

Osklen high tops

I was just introduced the other day by Jaana to Oskar Metsavaht's label, Osklen. While she focused on the new summer 2010 collection, it's the current winter collection that caught my eye. There's plenty of draping and layering to appease my wardrobe wants if ever I was to come upon piles of money (examples below). Nonetheless, it's the shoes that would make it through my door first. I've loved Converse high tops ever since I met my man wearing his. However, I'm not keen on supporting the label anymore since Nike bought them out. I would definitely be keen on wearing these though, as they're the lovely deconstructed and distant Scandinavian/Brazilian cousin (three times removed) of my once favorite shoe. Sigh.
