KE-ZU

In the deep and dark depths of the KE-ZU Blog back catalogue we found this little jem from June; ready to go and green lit yet the button was never pressed.  What a treat!  It's like an online treasure chest or a little blog lottery that we've won!  In any event, the Adobe Headquarters in Utah, USA is now not...

Nanimarquina’s News rug reminisces the graphic technique so often used in advertising, its shape re-contextualized utilising the same colour as its inspiration to create a visually striking floor piece from the Spanish rug manufacturer. Recently arriving in the KE-ZU showroom with two cousins (read the Blog posts about Topissimo and Rangoli here), News is the design by Martí Guixé providing...

Finding itself in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania – Avalon City Retreat speaks volumes about the creativity which thrives in the Australian Island State. The location of Avalon City Retreat provides easy access and stunning views to both the City, rivers and ocean surrounding the Tasmanian capital. Touted as an “ominpiod”, this stand alone two bedroom, two bathroom hotel is...

At 80 years young, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Yoko Ono’s dancing.  She’s got enviable moves (and legs) of girls a quarter her age!  Waving the flag higher than some for wearing hotpants, “Ono” becomes “O’yes” in this vid for the first single from The Plastic Ono Band’s latest release Take Me to the Land of Hell – produced by Yoko...

The second of the three Nanimarquina rugs new to the KE-ZU showroom is Topissimo. This fun collection is inspired by polka-dots, these dots protruding and coming to life from the rug giving it a sense of playfulness and depth.   These shapes form an exploration of the rug’s texture and provide a canvas to play with pattern and colour.  The result...

With December looming all around us we’re hearing the words “Gee is it that time of year already?”  “Doesn’t time fly”; and it most truly does in our current fast paced world. This is why Phillip K. Smith III has taken to a small shack just outside of Joshua Tree, California for his latest art installation Vision Stead. Vision Stead...

We all know how this little tune goes… so join with us and sing: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Yellowtrace... …you know the rest. Our wonderful friends over at Yellowtrace are turning four.  Can you believe it!  We love to celebrate and to help Yellowtrace with their celebrations we’ve offered one of LZF Lamps’...

Vondom’s Chemistubes takes inspiration from sterile science laboratories and utilises decontextualization (what a great word!) to reinterpret the classic chemist tube into a versatile vase and planter which can easily feel at home in any space. By increasing the size and scale, the pieces transform themselves into fun, functional specimens for the home and office, bringing with them a playfulness...

The showroom floor here at KE-ZU has recently seen some action; it was overhauled for Saturday Indesign by Dana of Yellowtrace and now plays host to some great new floor coverings by Spanish rug manufacturer Nanimarquina. We’ll let you know about all of the pieces we’ve brought out from Spain shortly, but first cab off the rank is Rangoli –...

The showroom is always alive with some great songs.  Usually the DJ’ing task is undertaken by Yael or Tom and the tunes of choice stream from our Philippe Starck Parrot speakers. A regular on the KE-ZU playlist is Parov Stelar, the Austrian born artist (or cool cat) who fuses together the past and the present for this electro swing beats...
