I received word of John Reeves's really unique furniture and I thought it was worth sharing. John Reeves is an award-winning UK designer. He does furniture for all occasions and rooms, even outdoor pieces. REEVESdesign also includes the new Cast Aluminum Series 1 - which I think would be a good option for those of you who want something that no one else in the neighborhood has.
Here's some cool information about the designer:
"John Reeves, founder of a small furniture manufacturing company that bears his name, dealt with the concerns of poor offshore working conditions by moving to Vietnam and starting a fabrication shop in person, building some fantastic, durable furniture along the way. The chairs, tables and benches he produces with his Vietnamese co-workers are cast in aluminum sourced from recycled engine blocks and conduit, and the results are curvaceous, solid and thoroughly modern."
So, I'm really happy to hear that John promotes proper working conditions and the use of recycled materials. Without further ado, his work:
I think the pieces above are really cool. They have an organic, earthy look, but are modern and cast aluminum!
gotta love this bench
I also really like this console - I think it would be really striking in a room with pieces in different styles.
Love the high ceiling and the super dreamy bed.
Unfortunately this photo is the largest I could find - but if you look closely there are some really nice details.
All of the pictures above this caption are from the home in the photo above - which you can rent for a season. It is in Punta del Este - in Uruguay.
These photos are from the magazine Casa Diez - their aesthetic reminds me a lot of Ideal Home.
Along with taking photos, I hope to do some sketching - as I haven't drawn for years. It probably will not go well - but atleast I have a cute new sketchbook! Which reminds me that I wanted to thank Johan from Archie Grand for sending it to me. I'd heard of them before and was aware of their bright colors and titles such as "Socialites I met and liked," or "Bosses I had and liked." I received a lovely green, "Designers I met and liked" notebook. There is nothing like a blank sketchbook. You always want it's contents to be better than the last - which makes the first page full of pressure and possibility. I tend to bring my book everywhere either to jot down ideas, names, places, or sketch something that inspires me so I can look back on it. I'm excited that my new book will start in Segovia!
You should check out the Archie Grand website - it's pretty fun.

Remi hanging out with granddad as he husks corn earlier in the summer.
Remi wishes he could be in two places at once - and it's often tough for him to decide if he wants to stay inside of stay outside. He decided to nap while figuring it out.
Remi also has a wonky ear that never fell back down after teething - it cracks me up - we call it his "comb-over"
...and the ridiculously cute puppy version of Remi!
