Meirav from Israel sent me an email yesterday. She's a designer who's worked in textile design, and is now working with her husband designing rural style kitchens and furniture. The workmanship is AMAZING! Look for more photos on their website (it's in Hebrew).

"The contemporary, multi-faceted Spirit House Chair is architect Daniel Libeskind’s first foray into the world of furniture. The chair is constructed entirely of 14 gauge stainless steel with a brushed finish and weighs 180 lbs. It is designed to be oriented in five different positions and can be used as a side-table. Each chair takes 40 hours of labour to complete. As a special finishing touch, each chair will have Libeskind’s signature etched onto it. The chair is being manufactured by Nienkämper Furniture & Accessories Inc. of Toronto and will be available for purchase after June 2nd through the Nienkämper store, KLAUS by Nienkämper, on King Street West in Toronto."
Lauren also sent us some photos of the expansion of the museum, called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal (opening June 2). But because it is still under construction, she could only send renderings.

Jo would kill me if she woke up to find a hockey post as the first thing people see when they view the blog. So here Jo, this one's for you.
It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in Ottawa (and the hockey game is starting as I type this, where the Senators are going to kick some Sabres ass). I bought the latest issue of Wish magazine and in one feature they had decorated a patio and deck in South Hampton style. Me likey. Wish I had a yard this nice to hang out in on a day like today.
