For some of us, the holiday season is about one thing and one thing only. Ok, two things. Ok, a bunch of things—all nicely wrapped and book-related. Because there is nothing more satisfying than winter reading, whether it’s the classic you know almost by heart, the novel everybody else already read six months ago, or the thriller you’ll never admit you couldn’t put down. http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/feed/ 12 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:46:31 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9997

Hip hip hooray! 'Tis that time of year again: christmas trees, wreaths, family get togethers, snuggling up by the fireplace singing carols, oh, yes... and lots of gift giving! What better way to kick things off than with the wee ones!! http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/feed/ 13 http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 18:42:48 +0000 Rebecca Prusinowski http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9906

On a jaunt to the Far East this summer, Lo's List discovered Line's Lab. Based in Macau, China, Line's Lab is a multi-disciplinary design hub innovating fashion, products, furniture and events. Founders Clara Brito and Manuel CS arrived from their native Portugal in 2006. With its Portuguese heritage and access to textiles and production houses in mainland China, Macau seemed like the perfect place to establish their biz. "China is evolving so quickly and creatively," Brito gushed at her studio. "To witness that and be a part of it is really inspiring." http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/feed/ 10 http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-peter-johansen/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-peter-johansen/#comments Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:48:14 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9673

For ages now we’ve been singing the praises of powder-coated steel to anyone who would listen, and we love what Copenhagen-based designer Peter Johansen has been doing with this lightweight and flexible material... http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-peter-johansen/feed/ 47 http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-creatables/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-creatables/#comments Tue, 28 Sep 2010 19:54:12 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8550

"Creatables is a company and network of engineers and designers that negotiate prices for industrial surplus materials from which we and our fellow designers develop nice consumer products. When you buy a Creatables product you reduce the effects of over-consumption and cast an important vote towards a sustainable development." http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-creatables/feed/ 8 http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-minakani/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-minakani/#comments Wed, 22 Sep 2010 21:34:00 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8503

I don't know whether it's the post-summer doldrums or just that it's — ugh — Wednesday but I am feeling in a funk! My solution for such ruts is pretty reliable though: a good scrub of the house (mmm... Mrs. Meyers basil) and some heavy redecorating! What better way to give your digs a massive makeover than kicking your wallpaper up a notch with a made-to-order Minakani print?

We’ll be the first to admit it. Blogging at Lo’s List, it’s sometimes easy to get carried away in the pursuit of the top ten next best things. It’s easy to get caught on the twin, sophisticated prongs of design & marketing. Luckily, just when we need it, a site like Kiosk Store will pop up on our radar and rebuke the faster-better-brighter habits of our industry. http://www.los-list.com/blog/welcome-home-kiosk/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/#comments Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:23:25 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7950

A little bit Steampunk, a tad industrial loft makeover, these upcycled KOZO lamps are being produced by a 7-member collective called DEMO Design Clinic working out of Florentin (Tel Aviv's Williamsburg doppelgänger)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-kozo-lamps/feed/ 15 http://www.los-list.com/blog/do-goodism-europ-africa-deco/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/do-goodism-europ-africa-deco/#comments Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:24:15 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7825

While perusing the child-centric wares of one of my favorite Tel Aviv shops, Carousella, I came across these oversized baskets by Franco-Senegalese company Europ'Africa Deco... http://www.los-list.com/blog/do-goodism-europ-africa-deco/feed/ 18 http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-raw-edges/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-raw-edges/#comments Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:26:17 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7718

The work of Raw-Edges is not for crowd-followers or wallflowers. Indeed, the pieces are ballsy, sometimes rough, often bright and clashy. It's the sort of furniture that a more timid houseguest would veer away from - never daring to plop down on the "Volume" couch, for example. http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-raw-edges/feed/ 39
