Jethro Macey Adds Whimsy & Texture To Usually Ordinary Items
Innovative 26 year old designer Jethro Macey has been hailed as a 'Name to Watch' in 2008 by the Telegraph Magazine and the recipient of several impressive design awards. He has self-produced many products and collaborated with companies like Decode London and Worldwide Fred for both mass produced and limited edition products.
Side boards, wall hooks, table lamps, wall-mounted bathroom cabinets and floor tiles get infused with texture and whimsy to create unique and charming alternatives to the ordinary.
Bathroom cabinets highlight a particular object by setting it preciously within a small inset frame in the corner:

Jethro, in his own words:
My work is designed in response to either self a directed brief or commission and is designed with the notion of a batch or mass production run in mind.
I established my business in early 2006 and design and manufacture a range of interior products sold through a selection of independent retailers both in the UK and abroad."

Guitars That Will Stir Your Soul, Prior To Being Played: Moollon
Moollon of Seoul, Korea designs and crafts some of the most beautiful looking guitars, basses, pickups and effects accessories I have ever seen. In addition to several custom creations for various artists, they have an impressive collection of private stock and retail products.
