In rainbows

For the past few days we have had quite a bit of rain in New York, but - despite the impending St. Patrick's Day holiday - not a single rainbow. Since rainbows have topped my list of all-time favorite things since I first encountered Rainbow Brite and Lisa Frank (watershed moments of my youth, to be sure), I felt a little homage was in order. And what an easy homage this was! Luckily my favorite optical and meteorological event has real design staying power, with a full spectrum of positively charming results. Enjoy this little taste of the rainbow...

First, the Leonardo Design Team's classic curved tumblers at the MoMA Store:rainbow-tumblers

Tweet tweet! Sweet little bird whistles from my friend Marco's NY store KIOSK:

A panopoly of rainbow rings from Fallen Angel Designs and an adorable eco-friendly wood rainbow puzzle from Imagination Kids:

An elegant striped rainbow pillow - bright, yet muted for any decor style - from Fresh Vintage Design:

And a final, personal fave - a Nintendo Super Mario Mushroom bracelet from Live This Life:

Every piece is gorgeous but the wobbly glasses are my special favorite.

Hello Caroline, these art pieces are wonderful. And on a side note I find the interplay between art and fashion to be really interesting. For example, minimalism or the "less is more movement" seems to be making a comeback in fashion at the moment. Likewise, the pieces that you've posted seem to exhibit minimalist qualities.

Thanks for sharing!

Sound wood countertops are pure goods made of wood via timber about 120 years. Wood is often a dwelling substance and the much more wetness receives, the greater the wood countertop will certainly develop.

Those bird whistles are just so cool! Do you know if Marco`s shop post them outside US?
