Kristine Sitko: Balsamic Chocolate Truffles

If anyone is up for making little holiday treats (which will take... three days' worth of walking to burn), here is a link I found for Balsamic Chocolate Truffles from Design*Sponge.

"Photographer Kristine Sitko has given us the perfect holiday treat, either to pass around on a tray at your next friendly or family gathering. Or, if you go crazy and make too many, package them up with a beautiful bow in a nice piece of porcelain or a vintage cup and saucer, like the fabulous one in the images. The lucky recipient will be your friend forever!" (Design*Sponge)

Agence NC, Nathalie Crinière

Tak has unleashed a blogging demon.

This is an exhibition and event design firm I had the good fortune to quickly meet this summer in Paris. Agence NC has a great collection of works, all very attentive to the content, context, and in many cases, the nature of light and colour in a 3-dimensional space.

They design interiors for galleries, boutiques, exhibitions, etc. My favourites are the ones they create for popular culture (Grace Kelly & Alfred Hitchcock) and French figureheads (Jean Cocteau).









Fun stuff.

Milk

A stand for your Macs or fish aquarium! Beautiful Scandinavians! The item is called Milk, by Holmris Hansen A/S. It considers everything one would need to work well and love your Mac even more.

Moiré

Moiré. This design company based on Zürich is led by Marc Kappeler & Markus Reichenbach. Beautiful publications that "[trust] in craft rather than marketing." How European!
