Treat Bowl - Copyright Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen

As a 3 year design student at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway, Camilla’s designs are about using leftover and recycled materials, and let it shine with a new identity. While she loves the Scandinavian style, Camilla lets loose and explores the depths of all colors which can influence many areas of our lives.

The Treat Bowls of recycled lampshades and colorful Mirasol Yarn yarn, also support a good case. Mirasol Project supports lokal communities in Peru through the sales of The Mirasol Yarn Collection. [Link]

The Art of Elizabeth McGrath

Malarhea - Copyright Elizabeth McGrath

Los Angeles-born artist Elizabeth McGrath has always had an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life; this appreciation is nowhere more evident than in her work. Inspired by the relationship between the natural world and the detritus of consumer culture, she brings forth a new cavalcade of creatures from the darker corners of the streets, the city, the imagination. It is this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and suffering specimens of nature that make up her intricate body of work. Today she lives in Downtown LA with her hairless dogs Blue and King Tut, and her Husband Morgan Slade. They play together in the band Miss Derringer. [Link]
