Jupiter Ray Project

This has nothing to do with interiors or design. Nothing at all. But I just had to post about my co-worker's band, Jupiter Ray Project. They officially released a CD (their second one) and have been getting lots of publicity here in Ottawa lately. This morning when we were at coffee, Jack pulled out the Ottawa Citizen newspaper and there was a HUGE picture of himself and his wife Shannon with a great article about their band. I am so proud of them. They have beautiful voices - and I listen to their CD all the time. It's very mellow - I think he calls it "folk-rock". Here's their website where you can order the CD. CONGRATS GUYS!!!!!

Steven Miller Design Studio

Steven Miller has been in the business for 13 years. Not one to follow trends, his usage of "clean lines, expressive materials, sophisticated eclecticism, conversational texture and color" makes him a fantastic designer. I love love LOVE his work.

"The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives housing in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours. By experimenting with colours, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to new ways, to try to encourage people to use their fantasy and make their surroundings more exciting." - Verner Panton 1926-1998

The first four images are archival photos of Panton interiors. The last four are some of his design classics. For more amazing images check out Verner Panton Design.
