Studio Gorm: Small Space Genius

Wow, this is equally cool as it is smart.

Peg is a family of furniture from Studio Gorm with diverse parentage. The shaker peg rail, the korean wall hung table and the lowly shop broom. Peg is flexible furniture system made up of simple components, which can be assembled in a variety of ways to accommodate a multitude of scenarios. it can be just as easily disassembled, using no tools or fasteners. All components can be hung from a peg rail on the wall creating pleasing abstract compositions.


Studio Gorm is a collaboration between John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong. The two met while studying in the masters program at the design academy Eindhoven. they set up their studio in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Their office is now located in Eugene, Oregon where they also work in the product design program at the University of Oregon.


The peg system is available in douglas fir, hemlock, oak, ash, walnut and hickory.

Pure Small space genius!

Reclaimed Wood In Kitchens

While working on a kitchen renovation Apartment Therapy's Annie Werble uncovered a structural column smack dab in the middle of their design. To incorporate the discovery into the scheme, they set vintage railroad ties on all sides of the concrete structure, and the gorgeous patina of the wood makes the eyesore melt away.

I'm particularly digging the type treatment on those nice big storage drawers.

Check out the rest from those smart and resourceful folks over at: Apartment Therapy.

And if you happen to be looking for reclaimed wood in your area the Building Materials Reuse Association is a great place to start.


Oh, and speaking of disegno astuto e sostenibile, dig this: Controprogetto.

The Just-Right Desk

Penelope Green, a reporter for the New York Times Home section, set out with a budget of $1,000 to try a number of new and old desks, seeking professional advice along the way.

Blu Dot's Desk 51 above was named after Area 51, the Nevada military base beloved by UFO conspiracy theorists, because the designers thought it looked "alienish." One feng shui expert called its color "super yang."

I''ll be doing the exact same thing within the next month or so but with about half the budget - stay tuned for my results. Meanwhile, check out In Search of the Just-Right Desk.
