FFF is always about ditching the furniture for a day.  None more so than today’s FFF where we celebrate an Aussie icon on her 39th birthday. We assume you’ve guessed by now, it’s Elle Macpherson’s birthday.  We imagine at 39 that the Aussie actress, model, clothing designer, TV host and mum is still being asked for ID at bars which...

Hooray! We were pleased to recently receive the news that KE-ZU supplier Axona-Aichi has welcomed another metaphorical trophy into their cabinet. Last Week Axona-Aichi’s Tipo Chair designed by Japan’s Taku Kumazawa was awarded the 2012 Good Design Award by the Chicago Athenaeum, the international museum of architecture and design, one the highest distinctions afforded in design. From over 48 countries...

It’s pretty obvious that we love Karim Rashid.  We stock many of his designs right here at KE-ZU.  Dubbed by Time Magazine as the “most famous industrial designer in all the Americas”, Karim Rashid is a multi-faceted creative superforce with over 3,000 works in production to date, it’s pretty hard then to fathom that he has any time to think...

We were going to save this little gem for a Furniture Free Friday this week at the Blog but we just can’t wait. It’s too good. The hypnotic Rita Hayworth – beautiful, flighty, rhythmic and engaging. The Bee Gees, brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice, blessed with voices of vibrato and falsetto forming tight harmonies pumping 1960’s dance floors the world...

Teresa Sapey isn’t at all unfamiliar with the design of a hotel.  She’s designed the interiors for Veracruz Plaza in Valdepanas, Spain and managed to turn a carpark into a colourful and graphic delight in Madrid when collaboratively working on the Hotel Puerta América Project (see the KE-ZU blog post here). Turning her hand to Barcelona’s Hotel Pau, the interiors...

Alright, alright. We know it's Furniture Free Friday here at the KE-ZU blog but we're just a bit excited - so forgive us... LZF Lamps specialize in the manipulation of plywood, producing lights and lamps of patterned, twisted form – finding themselves wholly remarkable as standalone pieces but holding the ability to group together harmoniously to extend the aesthetics of...

We do take to things that are a bit different here at KE-ZU.  Further, we carry a bit of a love for the creator of the unique - which is why today we love the Sydney based photographer Rebecca Ryba.   Ryba is one of those gifted creative types with an eye for catching the things in life that we just...

The Green Chair designed by the artistic multi-disciplined visionary Javier Mariscal for Mobles114 is a modern geometric number. This isn’t its only drawcard however – its beauty lies not only in its chameleon-like ability to suit any space both indoor and outdoor but also its 100% recycled and recyclable catalogue of materials. Formed by a recycled polypropylene textured seat shell...

EMU is the Italian manufacturer of outdoor furniture which has an uncanny knack to specify and use hard materials such as sheet metal and steel in their furniture offerings and give the pieces a stunning lightness to the overall visual impact.  You can see from the EMU catalogue available at KE-ZU here. Their furniture assembly, which you’ll find perfectly situated...

Well here we go again!  The KE-ZU and LivingEdge sale is on this week, yes, this week!
