Designer Profile: Paul Loebach
Paul Loebach is a Brooklyn based designer and woodworkers who’s roots are in Cincinnati. His work is characterized by a deep love for the craft of wood and pushing the limits on its traditions.
For instance in his seating piece, Chair-o Space, Loebach uses the iconic turned wood legs which at first glance seems so simple. But, the legs’ curvature leaves me wondering “how did he do that”? As of today, I still don’t know. I can’t imagine the legs were produced on a simple lathe because the eccentricity would cause the legs to fly off of the machine, I would think. There is some underlying cleverness that, almost like a magician, is held in close confidence by Mr. Loebach. His pieces are all similar in that they are like sculptural puzzles that seem subtle but cary a deeper meaning the more you observe and use them.
I’ve included a link to his article below the images. Definitely have a look.

Designer Profile: La Chanh Nguyen - Moss Bath Mat
At my firm, David Baker + Partners, we’ve really been getting into green roofs. Green roofs are basically grassy pads of moss and other plants that sit on your roof to help keep the heat in in the winter and cool in in the summer. This bath mat brings a bit of the green roof inside and puts it under your feet. I love it mainly because I love the feel of moss on my feet, but having one of these mats would seem to also save you time and money… and energy because you never have to clean it. I’d like to smell one of these things after a year’s time.

I like the outlet ideas. I go crazy wondering how to deal with all the cables and cords- finally something practical.
I actually had decorative tape like that packing tape 25 years ago in advertising work but it was thin and only used for graphic design. Its great to have something one can use more widely.
Sorry but I can't get into the moss mat. It's a cool picture but I hardly think it could be widely used.
