Dave Longaberger was a man with a dream and from the looks of this building, YES it’s a building, this guy made his dream come true. I absolutely love good old fashioned, hard-working, success stories like this one. Don’t you?
I think this post is a perfect fit for the holiday season.
Wishing all your dreams come true!

In the December issue of Architectual Digest Brad Pitt debuts his furniture design. Now – for the record – there is no doubt Mr. Pitt knows what he’s doing when it comes to design and architecture due in part to his largely successful and very awesome Make It Right foundation. He is a man with a lot of ideas, dreams, and money and that combination is likely to make anyone a success.
However, when it comes to furniture design it might be a different story. Is this furniture design or is it furniture art? I think it’s furniture art design. It’s more like art, in that it’s kind of like a sculpture. Especially, given the fact that each piece is a limited edition and signed by Pitt and Pollaro.
What do you think?

I have seen this furniture during my travels on the web, but never understood the concept or from where they originated, until now.
While browsing the website’s gallery my 6-year-old boy came into the room. He saw the picture below, became intrigued and wanted to see more.
I began to see it through his eyes…
and it was really cool.
Then I wanted one…
for me.

Collaborating with Pols Potten, who produced the Hand-le, the designer had the idea and presented the project in London 2006 during the London Design Festival. It was really successful. The handle is made of aluminum and imitates a human hand perfectly, which can be scary for some, but amusing for others.
