An alternative to Portland Cement
Lithistone is an environmentally friendly alternative to Portland Cement that Ryan Waxman and Brett Fitzgerald use to fabricate countertops, sinks and decorative products. Lithistone will not contribute to indoor air pollution through off-gassing because it uses natural organic high colorfast pigments from Bioshield earth pigments, and non-toxic sealers and glosses. Lithistone is made from a variety of aggregates including crushed slate, granite, quartz, sea shells, marble and limestone. Furthermore, it can be carved, cast or sculpted. Lithistone provides natural contrast to a contemporary interior.

Simplicity x function = popularity
A funny thing happened while browsing though the many aisles of Hot Property, a mecca for things Modern in the city of Toronto, I spied some glass containers that were in a locked cabinet. I have been on the hunt for glass containers, with plastic getting so much bad press these days, and inquired as to their price. The shop-keep told me that while he wasn't sure of their exact price, they were in fact "thousands, and thousands of dollars". It turns out that they were original Wilhelm Wagenfeld Kubus stacking containers from ca. 1935.
Wagenfeld studied at the Bauhaus school and produced these simple containers after he left. They were manufactured as sets of seven, with interchangeable lids that were meant to be used as both storing and serving pieces. In true Bauhaus style serial repetition and function led to their extreme popularity, hence the myriad of replicas available on the market today.

Engineering simplicity in faucet design
When designing a kitchen every decision can be agonizing and time consuming, so why complicate things? Sometimes simplicity rules, and in this regard Newform faucets stand out. Newform pares down the faucet to its most basic form, and then exploits the angles with details that are conspicuously constructivist. Handles that operate left to right instead of back to front, and spouts that jut out at 90 degrees are just some of the differences between Newform and the competition.
Keep in mind that this is not your hardware store variety faucet, but then again the price-point isn't either and may be a little difficult to track down in some areas. Newform is a manufacturer that does not rely on embellishment to sell their products, but rather focuses on the engineering, a process that produces simple and elegant designs.

Simple, yet impressive
 Based on the date of our last entry in the kitchen category -- and the, *sigh*, general lack of entries -- it would appear that we've been neglecting one of our favorite rooms in the house. Well, now that we've found this wonderfull kitchen island from Time & Style, we're hoping that will change. This island features a built-in range and sink with all plumbing and gas lines built into the legs. An extendable top board is included and a pull-out counter is also available as an option. Materials include stainless steel and walnut.

Their products offer a broad range of dinnerware, pillows, vases, children’s furniture, and home accessories of all kinds. It's funky groovy stuff, as if four decades of design and style have collided... and it works.
They have their own retail store on Melrose in Los Angeles, a web store, and are carried by specialty retailers.

Modular Kitchens
 "Chef is Driade's kitchen project. Started in 1978, it has been constantly updated by Antonia Astori. The number of possible combinations and variety of fittings provide a full range of possible solutions from kitchenettes, through solutions integral with living spaces, to large professional kitchens. Although Chef divides into 2 programmes of differing aesthetic and structural characteristics, the two can be readily combined: Kucina has developed from a virtually infinite modular system. It consists of bases, wall and tall units, with matching hanging bar and other wallfittings. Fuoko is a collection of bases, wall and free standing units which, as definitive furniture can also be employed as individual pieces in their own right. These can be used freely grouped between them, individually or in blocks. They have aluminium structures, standing on levelling feet or on wheels."
