Over the Weekend- Aug 24th, 2009

August 24, 2009 in Furniture

by Derek-W-Chang

Did this weekend seem really long for anyone else? Excited to get back to work today? No? Here are some things to hold you over for a little while including cute pig lights, African shoes, vintage over antique chairs and since it’s time to go back to school, some articles on colleges going green(er).

*Separated into categories for convenience

Art & Design

Even though these pig lights by Ariel Rojo are incredibly adorable, you might not be running to your piggy bank to buy them for $90 at the MoMA museum store.

This chair is one of many by Lebanese designers Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibr of Bokja made with antique furniture and vintage fabrics for the Quirico Company. The furniture will be presented at Tent London from September 24-27.

The motion-powered PolarLight illuminates slopes (and keeps skiers a little safer from collisions)

Noonsolar bags look halfway decent and power your mobile devices.

This bracelet made by Finnish company Secco Shop, is one of a handful of eco-designs at the Mart exhibition in Copenhagen opening August 27th.

Clicked an ad on Treehugger.com which led me to find these nice shoes marketed as “The first to market premium urban-casual footwear made in Africa”. They are from Canadian-based company, Oliberté claiming to strive for sustainable and fair practices in Africa.
