Drift is the design duo of Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijn, both graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven, class of 2005. They design products, concepts and interiors for private and public spaces.

The first prototype of their Ghost Chair was on display at Design Miami Basel last month. If you weren't fortunate enough to attend, here are some photos of their eerily beautiful Ghost Collection:

Aaron R. Thomas Gallery Opens in Costa Mesa

My regular readers may recall that I did a post on Aaron R. Thomas' acrylic pieces way back in March.

And, as my uncanny ability to predict trends proves, yesterday's LA Times featured a story on the new opening of their California gallery.

Aaron R. Thomas to open a.r.t.a.e. gallery
October 11, 2007


Furniture designer Aaron R. Thomas, known for bent acrylic tables and chairs beloved by fans of Hollywood Regency and 1970s design, will open the gallery a.r.t.a.e. on Saturday.

The new 4,000-square-foot space, a collaboration with artist Anne Ewen, is not only a showcase for pieces such as the Waterfall table ($1,825), shown above with the new silk-screened Antiquities umbrella holder ($380), but also a venue for Thomas and Ewen to exhibit their ethereal abstract paintings.

Event runs 7 to 11 p.m.
2777 Bristol St., Suite D,
Costa Mesa; (714) 434-1113;

Way to go guys! Congratulations!
