Beth Dary Sarah Lutz Nice Niche Feature Clockwise from top left: Equilibrium, (detail), glass, 2008/12 by Beth Dary; Shoal, (detail), 24 x 20 inches, oil on panel, 2009-11 by Sarah Lutz; Artsits, Sarah Lutz (left) and Beth Dary; Panorama of Interplay Installation by Beth Dary & Sarah Lutz; Surface Tensions, (detail), 20” x 17”, egg tempera and wax on paper, 2007/13, by Beth Dary; Emersion, (detail) 30’ x 10’ x 4” inches, porcelain, 2010/13 by Beth Dary; Center Top: Surge Series drawing by Beth Dary & Sarah Lutz Center Bottom: Coyaba, 16 x 12 inches, oil on panel, 2012, by Sarah Lutz The Interplay Installation was at Miranda Arts Project Space (Port Chester, NY) and ran from November 2012-January 2013. Beth Dary and Sarah Lutz collaborated on a dynamic gallery installation that highlights the natural environment and compelling history of Port Chester. Throughout the residency, they documented their ideas and progress in an ongoing blog. The artists mapped the Bryam River on the gallery walls, a poetic interpretation of the water's journey and the water levels across a hundred years of time. Both artists have a deep affinity with nature originating from their lives spent on the water both in New York City and Cape Cod. This common ground informs the distinct, yet related vocabularies found in their work and provides them with a mutual language to articulate the discoveries that are bound to manifest as they work side-by-side. Dary and Lutz are intrigued by the notion of a collaborative residency— not merely a shared space but a truly collaborative, creative process where each is responding to their own last mark as well to each others', ultimately creating a call & response dynamic much like a jazz ensemble. bethdary.com sarah-lutz.com After the Storm, Rethinking a Riverscape via New York Times Enhanced by Zemanta

Called Smile, Eden's new water cooler has been designed to be the most user and environmentally friendly system on the market. Sleek and stylish looking, the new model uses 30 per cent less energy than traditional coolers and features cold and hot settings. Smile incorporates an LCD display system, built-in cup dispenser and electronic taps positioned at a higher, more convenient height. Environmental sustainability has been a key focus for Eden Springs in the development of the new cooler. As a result, the Smile range features a programmable weekly clock with three 'Eco' options which allows customers to schedule settings to suit their needs at different times throughout the working week. This ensures the cooler is operating in the most efficient way at all times while preserving energy at times when the cooler is not needed The cooler is flexible when it comes to water feed and can be used as a bottled or point-of-use (POU) system, making it easy for Eden to adapt the new range to suit varying customer needs. Smile has also been developed to meet the highest standards of safety and hygiene and features removable elements, making it easy to clean, as well as electronic hidden faucets. The ergonomic and attractive design has been developed to enhance the look of any working environment or even at home. The launch of the Smile follows a series of acquisitions made by Eden in the water cooler industry including Swiss company Edelvia and Spanish brand, Todagua.

The New England Girl Nice Niche Feature My name is Nicole Goncalves and I am the The New England Girl. Not only am I a small business owner, I am a writer and artist. My business specializes in furniture re-purposing & Interior Design, however my website thenewenglandgirl.com encompasses all things “New England”. I enjoy traveling and writing about the local places I visit. I was born and raised here in New England, and we currently live full time in Litchfield County Connecticut. We spend our summers traveling between our Vermont House ( a small cabin built out of 100% reclaimed materials) & Westerly, Rhode Island, with a visit to Maine’s beautiful rocky coast from time to time. As a child, I was taught how to grow a garden, can & bake from scratch. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents where I was shown how to keep up a household, and how to budget / “buy on a dime”. I completely credit my thrifty-ness to my grandmother Marie. As for the re-purposing & wood working both my father & his father John enjoyed building from scratch. I remember as a child my grandfather building my cousin & I all types of wood rocking horses and other types of toys! My family’s heritage is primarily Polish & German so my grandparents listened to a lot of Polka music, however on Saturday mornings we faithfully listened to bluegrass on WWUH Listener Supported Radio from The University of Hartford. This is one ritual that has stayed with me after all these years, and nothing makes me happier than hearing some good ole’ bluegrass banjo. After college I felt a disconnect from the world and had a difficult time putting in hours at a menial job. So I started finding furniture to re-purpose. Eventually one thing turned into another and I created a website and started offering other services such as Interior Design & Organizing. I recently moved my shop to a beautiful barn space in Lakeville, Connecticut. The 1800′s barn sits on 40 acres of rolling lush pasture and looks out onto the Housatonic River and Music Mountain. Ultimately I feel an amazing connection to my community and I am a huge supporter of small and local business. You will typically hear me end my emails & comments with the saying “We Love Local”! It isn’t often that you hear people say that they genuinely LOVE what they do, but I do. However with the support of my family & friends, my husband Vinnie & my amazing community, I have made my dreams possible.— Nicole Goncalves, Furniture Repurposer & Designer The New England Girl 203-826-4317 thenewenglandgirl.com Facebook.com Twitter Enhanced by Zemanta

Apple announced a new Macbook Pro with a Retina Display and an all flash architecture, but I think its most important design innovation is one you won’t see. The video below gives a good introduction to what they’ve done with the new Macbook Pro from a design perspective, but more importantly it reinforces some things we should all think about when trying to innovate:

'How do you design?' is the title of a 149 page free PDF book written by Hugh Dubberly, who is a design planner and teacher and also running his own design consultancy 'Dubberly'. The book is a great collection of more than 100 descriptions and visualizations of design and development processes, from architecture, industrial design (IDEO's design process is described), mechanical engineering, quality management and software development.
