Design: The White Company

I love it when people send me photos of white things. The two photos below are of The White CompanyĀ – a beautiful UK-based store that has everything from linens to kids’ toys to clothing. Michelle sent me the first photo agesĀ ago (around Christmas time last year, I believe), and my brother-in-law Jeff sent me the second one from St. Pancras Station in LondonĀ a couple of months ago.

Thanks to Michelle and Jeff for snapping these storefront photos. I’ll have to make sure to see them in person one day soon!

 

White Out: Around the World

Our White Out series continues today with a look at what white goodness our readers have spotted from around the world.

In New York City, Jeff sculpted a family of simple white mushrooms.

In London, Lindsay snapped a photo of The White Company store (I’ll take one of everything please!).

In Toronto Sarah recently bought a couple of Le Creuset trivets that have such a pretty design. It looks like cast iron to me but this French Trivet is actually silicone.

And to round of today’s series, Daniela snapped a photo of this fountain sculpture during her visit of Nuit Blanche in Toronto earlier this fall. The sculpture, titled Viva La Dada, Baby!, is a tribute to Marcel Duchamp created by Jolie Fejer and Viliam Hrubovcak. It was part of the Dada Reboot! exhibit curated by Thom Sokoloski. Duchamp’s now-famous (in 1917 it was quite controversial) urinal, the Fountain is considered by some as one of the most important works of 20th century art.
