Kitchen: Henrybuilt Workspace Component System

From Janet:

Seattle-based Henrybuilt, maker of our favorite kitchen systems, has introduced an array of functional and aesthetically pleasing kitchen workspace components, including a cutting board, colander, and knife holder. Made of high-density plastic or wood, the pieces are designed to integrate with the backsplash system and countertop area around the sink. Henrybuilt tells us that additional components will be introduced later in 2009. For more information, contact Henrybuilt or visit their Seattle or New York showrooms.

Here’s an idea we haven’t seen before: trays used as kitchen shelves, a concept worth considering.

From Julie:

Discovered via Farmhouse Modern: A modern interpretation of a vernacular farmhouse in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont. Landscape designer Keith Wagner, the owner, worked on the design with Birdseye Design, a design/build outfit that created a living space surrounded by utility buildings in an open agricultural setting. The project won an AIA Honor award in 2004.

Shopper’s Diary: Makers Market in New York

From Francesca:

Makers Market is a new open-air market featuring a broad range of products for the home, curated by American Craft, the Noguchi Museum, and R 20th Century. Atlas Industries, Hivemindesign, and Platform are just some of the makers that will be selling one-offs and exclusively produced work. “Long Island City’s rich history of industry and manufacturing, and its current status as one of the city’s most remarkable cultural communities, will provide the perfect context for the Makers Market, which focuses on design excellence, technical expertise, and quality of materials.”
