You can buy these cute little critters at Unica Home.

The pendants come in Gold, Silver and Antiqued Bronze and are miniaturized perfection of Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Chair, Eero Saarinen’s Tulip Chair, and Ray & Charles Eames’ LCW Chair, Shell Chair (with Dowel Base), and Aluminum Series Management Chair. They are rather expensive, but are a unique homage to iconic mid-century design for any modern design enthusiast. I know what’s on my Christmas list for next year…

Bruxe Design also sells these fabulous t-shirts in a number of colors.

You can also visit some Le Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy-France, Pont Neuf Paris, Taj Mahal, the Frank Gehry Disney Concert Hall, Le Grande Arch Paris and the Guggenhiem Museum in 3D.

Their sprawling 9 acre property is home to rustic cabins, a lodge, and a fleet of vintage airstream trailers all decked out in retro space-age glamour. The motel is definitely decorated in more of a kitsch 50s theme than mid-century modern, but there are some beautiful Hay-Wake and Danish Teak pieces and a Bertoia or two scattered amongst the ephemera.

There is mention of a tiki-themed cabin and airstream trailer, but no photos on the Lazy Meadow site yet. I’m pretty sure Dr. Tiki of Tiki Bar TV will be chomping at the bit for a weekend holiday there sometime soon. Other rooms include a UFO- and a psychedelic gnome-theme.

For more info or to book a visit to this groovy wonderland, visit Kate’s Lazy Meadow Motel web site. In the meantime, here are a few images of their rooms to drool over.

Sometimes we can’t afford the real thing, so these pillows are just the ticket. Each pillow is gracefully adorned with the silhouette of an iconic mid-century modern chair. They’re printed in beautiful, rich, retro colours and made of 100% recycled polyester. They’d look great in an ultra modern environment or a cosey vintage abode.

The full range of pillows and wall art can be bought online at Inhabitat.

“I like to create objects and projects that make people smile and flourish, to see the world in different ways, to reinvent the everyday.”

Dan’s works covers a wide range of media, scale and application. From a series of mobile sculptures for the atrium of a children’s hospital to the staging of art happenings, to the fabrication of striking pieces of unique furniture out of at once familiar things, Planko’s work is characterized — if it can be characterized — as a marriage of the handmade and the industrially-produced, the serious and the whimsical, the familiar and the unexpected.

Prices for these quirky one-of-a-kind trophy heads range from $125 – $450. You can contact Dan directly if you’re interested in buying any pieces.

Nothing like an incendiary title, huh? We were surfing over at GrassRootsModern and found this blog entry about faux finishing the iconic Eames mid-century modern LCW chair. After my initial outrage at the very idea of “ruining” a beautiful piece by decorating it like this, I calmed down and thought it actually wouldn’t be a bad idea if the chair was a reproduction or if it was damaged in some way that the resale value was already low.

Read the fantastic GrassRootsModern blog here and you see the Martha Stewart Instructional video for ruining, ahem, decorating your prized Eames piece.
