Gilt Groupe loves patterns just as much as we do. It’s evident nearly every time they style an accessories shoot. Last week’s Matt & Natt handbag sale took an instagr.am meets pattern approach with their merchandising hero shot. This gridded layout is fun and functional and nearly always the quick fix when displaying smaller objects.
If you’re living a lifestyle that forces rest at the most inopportune times, the sleeping mask is probably part of your daily routine. From long flights to night-owl roommates, the idea of wearing one of these (sometimes-suffocating) accessories has gotten more cheerful. Click for Art is selling limited edition masks designed by some of our favorite UK street artists. From McFaul Studio to Kozyndan to Vault49 to Mark Verhaagen, each mask is a tribute to peaceful rest and creative thoughts.
From time to time we highlight brands that incorporate digital trends into their product design. From print collages to Missoni pillows, it’s important to note the designers who are embracing the pixel. The latest round of products are attempting to lure in a female customer:
The Parrot Minikit Primavera is a limited edition bluetooth portable hands free phone from the UK that’s incorporated a floral motif into it’s surface design.Similarly, the latest laptop from HP Envy has done the same thing with their laser etched aluminum cover.
Magnifying this pattern for their retail display, the Alessi store in Midtown Manhattan has fully embraced this movement, proving kitchenware can at once be organic and future-forward.
Mismatched patchwork is continually getting a facelift and the cubist approach in these designs reveal the latest pairing of pattern on pattern. Always the curator of cool, the latest literary addition to Colette’s bookshop, Wanderung, by Edouard Baribeaud, reveals 24 pages of painted and drawn imaginary spaces. Experimenting with this technique in the home goods sector, Missoni Home has designed a typographic pillow to reveal softer contrasts. Enlarging these black and white patterns for a throw, Bensimon of Paris has included this menagerie in their latest collection of wares.
For the John Robshaw lovers out there, you’re in luck if you live in Manhattan! A wide collection of his textiles, bedding, pillows and table top liners are on sale today through tomorrow. Details below.

Tanagrams aren’t going anywhere. They’ve been in the market for a while now and are continuing to evolve each season. Here’s a collection of monotone triangular products in 2D and 3D. This clock was recently featured in the pages of the French shelter magazine, Vivre Cote Paris and has a very angular presence. Softening the mood, these Miu Miu stockings provide scaly texture and organic curve. Adding lux and topographic undertones, this Stellar Mirror by Jake Phipps reveals the back story of cut diamonds. Proving the sculptural version of this trend can translate into budget-friendly sculptures, this window display by the creative team at The Indo Projects recently won a sustainability and found object contest.
