DANGERMAU5 concert I refer to in the Surface Video
A few of you have been asking about the DANGERMAU5 concert that I refer to in the Surface Video for Tom Dixons Underground during ICFF. It was this killer concert sponsored by Nokia that lit up the London skyline with an incredible lightshow and kick-ass music. Here is a link to check it out: http://bit.ly/vVI64C. For those of you that haven't seen Mr Call for Surface, you can see the video here: http://vimeo.com/42466697

Blogfest 2012
A walk in the Flower Market
Here in New York, we have an amazing area known as the "Flower District". It's a street long row of vendors that specialize in wholesale flora (not fauna). , For designers, it's the perfect spot to pick up necessary elements for our projects.
That said and done, Mr Call is rarely enthusiastic about flowers: They are just not my cup of tea in general. While I appreciate them in other peoples homes, they are something that I find it difficult to engage in the homes I create. I generally gravitate to strong branches and big collections of greenery.
Similar to the way I furnish an interior, I look for bold scale, color-blocking and dense and intricate textures.Below is a gallery of the type and style of flowers and plants that I like.
New York Magazine Design Issue
