‘I love New York’ Logo Creator, Milton Glaser, Does It Again

The iconic designer, creator of the world famous logo and the Bob Dylan poster for CBS records,
creates a new cheeky manifesto.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2009 —
He is a visionary, artist and designer of our time. His resume includes a myriad of projects from book covers, album covers, famous logos -including the ‘I Love New York’ logo, the new version of this same after 9/11,and the DC comics bullet-, magazine and newspaper design, interior design and even ‘underground gourmet’ when he used to write about good cheap restaurants in NY for ‘New York Magazine’, which he Co-founded with Clay Felker in 1968. He has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, The Lincoln Center Gallery, The Houghton Gallery and many more. In addition, his work is included in many permanent collections internationally.

Mr. Glaser’s career paved the way for design and illustration to be intelligent and to serve causes that have a social impact. It is under this premise that Mr. Glaser created ‘Epigram’ for Botanist, a series of playful furniture pieces that are both classic and innovative. Water-jet technology is used on a recyclable aluminum sheet to cutout phrases coined by the artist, then bent into three different sizes -End table, Cocktail table and Bench- with each size featuring a unique phrase.

Besides taking the term ‘conversation piece’ to a new level, these are the only furniture pieces ever created by the designer, this as part of Botanist; a collective effort from renown designers to bring awareness to causes they are passionate about. Each piece in the Botanist catalogue donates funds to a charitable organization chosen by the designer. Proceeds from the sales of Mr. Milton Glaser’s designs will benefit the International Rescue Committee.

These pieces, guaranteed to become a classic, can be used both indoor and outdoor and are available for
Residential and Contract applications.

Eyes on luxury.
By Claudia Gallardo

Home. It is a short but powerful word. Some say that home is where the heart is; others say that our true home exists within ourselves. This may not sound too far from reality, being that finding and creating a home is something that touches the core of most people. It is not just about finding a place with walls and a roof, it is about finding the right combination of style, charm, quality and sophistication, as well as knowing that these characteristics are true to who you are and the lifestyle you lead.

Conveying the message of what type of home you are looking for can prove to be a difficult task—when you are in the wrong hands. There are many nuances that cannot be explained based solely in price range or location, and sometimes there are not enough words or adjectives to describe what exactly that you are looking for.

Southern California continues to showcase cutting-edge home design with homes pushing the limits for innovation and green design, but also offering Hollywood-era glamour and classic construction with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The options are boundless when you are looking for a new place to call home or for just a little piece of the action in Los Angeles. Where do you start? You can always call a real estate agent—or you can call Nicole.

A San Francisco native, Nicole Lindler is no stranger to the Southern California scene. Having attended USC where she obtained a BS in Business Marketing, she made Los Angeles her permanent home. However, not before a search of her own, which took her to live in Honk Kong, Paris and Costa Rica. Nicole found Los Angeles to have the perfect combination of elements to make it the perfect place to live. Her experience of living in such a dynamic city guided her interest toward helping people in a very unique way.

Although she is not a mind reader, she could be mistaken for one. Nicole’s ability is having the eye to match a particular client to a type of lifestyle and home. This also works in reverse by positioning for sale properties in key market places. Nicole owes this ability to her marketing background, but also to her extensive travels around the world; from which she draws her inspiration. Her mission is not only to find the perfect luxury home for a client, but also to provide a one of a kind experience and to help their ideas come to life.

Her eye for style and luxury has been put to the test by having worked with clients from all backgrounds. From lawyers and entertainment executives, to contractors and developers, Her expertise and passion come through in every step of the process. She calls this her “white-glove service”. If you need designers, contractors or are looking for the ultimate luxury property, she will handle it, and it will be just as you imagined it.

It is no secret that Los Angeles has one of the world’s most breathtaking and sensational markets for luxury homes and condos. The decision to buy here, now more than ever is a life-changing investment. If you are ready to take the next step, you can find Nicole in the beautiful Pacific Design Center, where she works for Prudential California Realty.

Botanist Says: Being Stylish can Heal the World

Botanist, a line that draws its inspiration from trees, pixels, keys to typography and acrobatic
flight and helps raise funds for ten foundations.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2008 — Orange22 partners with eight icons of design to create magnificent pieces of furniture that not only can help transform a room but also the planet. The result is Botanist, a line that draws its inspiration from trees, pixels, keys to typography and acrobatic flight
and helps raise funds for ten foundations.

This clever collection stands by the idea that in today’s world being “green” is not enough, you have to be
socially responsible, give back and have fun in the process. Besides being charitable, all benches and tables are
made in recyclable aluminum, making them sustainable, durable and modern.

One of the designers involved is design guru Kahi Lee (HGTV Design on a Dime, Freestyle), who created the
collection “Unlock the Cure”. Inspired by the search for a cure for cancer, her design showcases an array of
contemporary and antique keys spread across the top inviting us to join the search for the cure.

“I call my design Unlock the Cure. Cancer has affected far too many people in my life and I’m committed to
doing something about it. The cure is out there, we just need to find the key.”
Kahi Lee.

The end table, bench and cocktail table are coated with a reflective chrome color and raise funds for the Cancer Research Foundation. All of the pieces can be nested or mixed with other furniture to create an original look that inspires us to give back to the world with style.
