The Friday Five: The Swissmiss Blog

| 2 Commentaries

Swissmiss is a blog that started in 2005 by the multi-talented “Swiss designer gone NYC” Tina Roth Eisenberg. If you haven’t already visited Swissmiss, then please let me introduce it to you by highlighting five fabulous white posts featured on this wonderful design blog this year.

One: The Moshi Moshi – an ergonomic Bluetooth handset by Frendh designer David Turpin.

The Moshi Moshi bluetooth handset, $135

Two: The Workshop office space, Brooklyn.

Three: The 2011 Calendar Scarf.

Four: Made A Mano letter tiles.

Five: Sewing Kit wall sticker.

Over the past decade I have spent a lot of time in Switzerland and feel quite attached to it. Swissmiss always manages to put a smile on my face when she makes references to the Swiss way of life (i.e., language, data, food). Anyone who has worked or travelled in Switzerland will understand what I mean.

On a final note, many White Cabana readers may also be interested to learn about TeuxDeux, a simple browser-based “to do” app, created by Swissmiss and Fictive Kin.

Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of animal heads as wall art but these modern takes on a traditional look have peeked my interest.

The Friday Five: Switzerland

Greetings from Switzerland! Today’s Friday Five is a collection of white beauties from my travels in this country of cows, clocks and chocolate.

Even though the mountains are shades of green, there is still plenty of whiteness that is catching my eye so please stay tuned for more white goodies from La Suisse.

The Friday Five: Travel Accessories

| 7 Commentaries

As I’ve been travelling for the last two weeks, I thought I would devote today’s Friday Five to lovely white travel items.

1. First on the list is a beautiful travel journal. Jot down addresses of those special restaurants and sketch your beautiful surroundings in one of these lovely little books.

 2. Next up is a soft sleep mask. For the flight, for the hotel…I never travel without one!

 3. Third on the list is a go-with-everything watch.

4. A camera. Of course!

5. A fifth fabulous travel item is a beautiful wallet to carry all your cards, currency and id.
