Brad Pitt: Actor, architect or designer?


After so many years, innumerous characters, Brad Pitt’s new role will certainly shock everyone.  Not a criminal, not a hero, this time he will star as a furniture designer in real life.

Declared fan of architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Pitt says that he sketches furniture and buildings since the 90’s. And to show his love for architecture he has even created the Make It Right Foundation in which he enlists architects to create affordable housing in New Orleans.

This time Pitt decided to show his passion for design pairing up with architect Frank Pollaro and creating a new line of furniture ranging from beds to tables. But, according to Pollaro, it was not easy to decide which of Pitt’s designs to use to create this limited collection, to do so; they talked about materials, trends, functionality, and so on.

However, do not expect to finds  this collection to be sold at Ikea; besides carrying the name, some pieces utilize high quality materials such as a glass-top side table that features a wispy spiraling metal base finished in 24K gold. 

Anyways you can still check out the collection which debuts November 13th and get some ideas.

“Why is Sheldon's couch at an angle while his TV is not?”
“Where Penny did ate at her house?”
“What did Monica and Rachel had hidden on their living room closet?” (Well, we still don't know that yet!)
Artist, Inaki Aliste Lizarralde, has drawn replicas of some famous apartments we usually see on TV. With a unique style she recreated familiar spaces with well known furniture.
Let’s see if the drawings can help clarify some doubts….

Hey guys,

Have you ever seen 
industrial shelving units? Most people don't really care about them, mostly because they think that it can only be used on garages for heavy dutty objects.
Industrial 
shelving units go with practically anything and anywhere while adding some modern feel. You can use it in the kitchen for pots and pantry storage, in the room for books, or in the living room for decor...just use your imagination.
