From Apartment Therapy:

We were in Acorn in Brooklyn, where we saw this image hanging on the wall - apparently being sold as artwork. On inquiring we discovered that it was a screen print on balsa wood and was the handiwork of Ross Menuez, the designer behind Salvor, a SoHo based company that makes bags, t-shirts, pillows and all sorts of trendy stuff . . . . While we respect the pillows and stuff, it’s the artwork that draws us in.

The fine folks at AT got it right — the artwork does draw you in. And it’s different — as we’d erroneously say in high school, it’s ‘very unique’ even. The artwork is printed on individual balsa squares attached to a flexible backing. Each hanging is signed and limited to 300 printings. Due to the nature of screen-printing, each piece will be original and have slight differences.

Who doesn’t need more pillows? I have four on my bed every night and always end up with one by 6AM. Which one? It’s a Down, etc. Delux goose down pillow. Why is my subconscious so discriminating? Because it knows that deep sleep promotes restoration. And we all know that good sleep quality is imperative for anti-aging purposes, optimal brain function and overall wellness. So when my mind means business, it goes for the most comfortable material out there. Fact: down adjusts to your body temperature and and shape! It’s natural. I can give the full weight of my massive cranium and neck to the pillow — I relax from head to toe.

So I ask again: who doesn’t deserve a great night’s sleep?

Put something cool under the coffee table. Thomas Paul got his start in the fashion business working as an intern at DKNY after graduating from NY’s FIT. He’s designed neckwear and scarves for Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, and quickly expanded his unique designs into other categories including pillows, table top, and rugs.

Today we’ve got some great product and a ‘Monday Special’. Three Sheets 2 the Wind is a design studio that creates handmade accessories for the modern home. Every piece is placed and printed by hand, using silkscreen and direct printing methods. The process is not always consistent, which allows each piece to be unique and authentic. Designer Jenny Sauer’s inspiration comes from mid-century pattern design, nature, and the skeletal structure of plant life.

As for the special, it’s ‘Buy More and Save’. Buy 2 items, save an additional 10%, buy 3 or more and save 15%. Monday only!

Want to hip up your space? Cool up your kindergartner? The best way to show that you’re on the cutting edge of design is with animal-printed pillows and T-shirts from Fauna. And by “animal-printed,” we don’t mean zebra-striped and leopard-spotted; we mean actually displaying zebras and leopards, among many other animals, in sepia-flavored prints. Everything’s printed by hand, the T-shirts are soft, and the pillows are interestingly shaped. And everything is hand-printed water based ink on 100 percent organic cotton broadcloth!

Maybe it was the witty title; perchance the amazing fashionable pet gear available at prices that are for the birds. Whatever the reason, we’ve got more pet gear, so we’re running it today. We thought we’d make the Dog Days of August a little more fashionable. Today’s selection features Hepper™. Hepper is a pet products company that was born from that universal thought: “there’s got to be a better way”. In their case, they had a house full of cats with the accompanying house full of really ugly cat toys and furniture. A search for truly innovative, functional, cool beds was fruitless and thus spawned the creation of the Pod and Podium – the first of many new home furnishings from Hepper.

In the spirit of the Olympics, friendship, the League of Nations and all that is fashionable, we give you Amentity Decorative Pillows. Longtime friends with similarly rural childhoods, Nicole Chiala and Kristina de Corpo started Amenity* in 2004 to bring some of the peaceful tranquility of their youth into their urban, adult homes. Two graphic designers passionate about nature and modern design - and unhindered by the restraints that can come with formal training in textile design - followed a vision of sleeping among treetops to create duvet covers, pillows, prints and accessories quite unlike anything else.

* Amenity is not competing in the Olympic Games.
