If there’s one word in furniture design that makes me melt, it’s Eames, so that pretty much leaves me liquified, now that I’ve seen the Eames 100th Anniversary Chairs that Herman Miller has produced, in celebration of the birth of one of the world’s most influential design houses. Available is a variety of colors — red, green, orange, white, black, purple, yellow, and light blue stains — my “vacation where I lie on a beach, burn to a crisp and sip Mai Tais” fund just became my “pair of drool-worthy light blue Eames chairs” fund. Delightfully retro, the gorgeously updated palette (as well as the five original finishes) are available (with free shipping!) at Hive Modern for $749 each.

Kidrobot’s new Dunny’s are awesome; If you haven’t checked them out yet, go here, and if you don’t even really care to check them out, go there anyway. Normally, I could care less about Dunny’s (not for any good reason — I like to look at them, but never buy them) but after seeing the collection our buddies at joyengine have already started for themselves, I think I’ve had a change of heart. A big one, actually. As in, if they started putting them in kid’s meals at McDonald’s I’d go there three times a day and start eating meat (well,”meat”) again, subsequently gain 15 pounds in two weeks and only kind of care because my Dunny collection would rawk. Artists like Frank Kozik, MIST, and Tara McPherson contribute to this run’s amazing artist line-up, so check them out, cross your fingers for the Golden Ticket Kosik Dunny, and start buying them up.

Availabots are your friends. Visual interpretations of your friends, that is. To be even more technical, Availabots are “physical representations of presence in instant messenger applications” that “stand to attention when your chat buddy comes online, and falls down when they go away.” In layman’s terms, what you’re looking at here is the best chance you’ll ever have to prove to your office buddies how much of a badass you are. Imagine this: A little army of plastic people popping up and down on your desk, proving to your boss that, yes, you do have friends (establishing you as a “people person,” and solidifying your potential as future Vice President). The creation of Schulze and Webb, Availabot prototypes will be available soon, and can even be personalized to look just like your best buddies (so, playboy bunny look-alikes that happen to be laywers, right?). If you’re ready to order a posse or two, you can email the London-based design shop here.

Via It’s Nice That

The much anticipated third installment of the Sony Bravia television campaign has finally been released — or found — on the internet. The first two, Balls and Paint made quite a scene over the last couple of years, both in their creation and amongst consumers; both won numerous advertising industry awards. Of course, neither aired here in the US, so enjoy them online and then run out and buy a Samsung or something.

The latest ad for Bravia, Play-Doh, was shot here in NY over the course of three weeks. The creators are calling it “the most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation ever undertaken.” Have a look here and let us know what you think. Personally, I like it better than Paint.

If the inside of your home resembles something you might see on an episode of MTV Cribs but the outside looks like the Amityville Horror House, perhaps you should think about mowing your lawn or maybe getting rid of that aluminum siding in favor of something more, well, aesthetically pleasing. Lucky for you, Award winning British-born designer Susan Bradley has just the cure; with her latest laser cut outdoor wallpapers — that’s right, outdoor wallpapers — Ms. Bradley effectively translates the principles of modern interior design to your courtyard and back deck. These unique 3-D designs not only serve as decoration, but can also multi-task as a one of a kind trellis, amongst other things. So go ahead, turn your house inside out. Your neighbors will thank you.
