Other fun BKLYN Designs spottings: Grow House Grow (above), with beautiful, screenprinted wallpapers. What I especially loved were the narratives behind each of the designs - the fly trap wallpaper was named after Mary Treat, an American-born naturalist devoted to the understanding of carnivorous plants. The wallpaper with the silhouetted woman and all of the insects is called Ms. Ward, after Mary Ward, a 19th century illustrator and entomologist, who also has the unfortunate distinction of being the first person to die in an automobile accident.

Cool, modern planters by Ram Metals - I love the shapes - they really play with perspective, and appear almost flat depending on the angle you view them from. They were displaying rusted steel versions and colorful powdercoated versions.
What looks like a painting or piece of art from afar is revealed to be a quirky antfarm within a frame. My favorites were the ones that re-purposed existing paintings. The FRAMEicariums were designed by fellow Cornell architecture alum Hugh Hayden (I thought he looked familiar!) and Katie Vitale.
Really cool stuff!
