There is a glorious sweet spot to be found in design where form and function meet. Lots of artsy folks out there prefer the objects they use every day to delight as well as they perform. So, you Artsy Design Obsessives ( and everyone trying to find gifts for them ), this one’s for you!
If your in the mood for more Artsy Designery Obsessive finds, check out my Pinterest board similarly named!
For some Artsies, the holidays can be a bit of decorative overload. I’m talkin’ about those clean line, simple shape loving Modernists who crave the sleek and spare. For this week’s Artsy Holiday installment, here are a few ideas for the Artsy Modernist on your list!
Maybe I’m a closet Modernist because I am loving all these bold colors and geometrics! See more Artsy Modernist ideas on the Artsy Forager Pinterest boards!
The holidays are upon us! And I love them. I can’t help it. Much to Mr. Forager’s chagrin, I totally get into the music, the decorating, the cooking, and of course, the gift giving! It seems every blogger does a gift guide, so why shouldn’t I get in on the action? So each Friday until Christmas, the regular Friday Design Finds posts will be replaced with a selection of gifts for the artsy folks on your list!
We begin with gifts for the Artsy Naturalist– there’s no reason why buying for nature lovers should be limited to hiking boots and camping supplies!
You can see more naturalistic gift ideas with an artsy bent on my Pinterest board, Artsy Holiday 2012: Gifts for the Artsy Naturalist!
Something about this time of year makes long for warm & cozy things. Felt played a big role in the holiday decor I grew up with, so I love seeing so many modern spins on this classic material. Here are a few of my recent felt art finds!
Happy Friday!
I’m a firm believer that the beauty of objects we use every day enhances our simple daily rituals. That doesn’t mean every meal should be eaten off Royal Dalton china with fine silver, but we do eat with our eyes as much as our mouths, so why not help even the most ordinary of meals a lovely experience? Here are some “painted” plates that would make any meal feel a bit more artsy!
Hmm.. wonder if we could get any of these in time for Thanksgiving next Thursday? 🙂 Happy weekend, Artsies!
