Yesterday, Materialicious posted on German designer Katrin Arens’ furniture pieces made from reclaimed wood; we also like her simple glass candleholders, made from wine bottles cut on an angle.

Snow Peak, a Japanese outdoor company that’s brought a whole new aesthetic to camping (and whose tagline is “It’s time to get back to lifetime ownership”), offers a large, rectangular tarp, perfect for summer picnics or other outdoor activities. “It’s unlike anything you might associate a simple tarp with. These top-of-the-line shelters are waterproof, UV protected, and carefully designed to withstand a crazy amount of wind. Every aspect of these tarps is reinforced to guarantee a lifetime of hardcore use.” The Rectangular Large Tarp is $499.95 directly from Snow Peak.

Bay Area designer and recent Berkeley graduate (with a BA in architecture) Joseph Sandy sent us photos of his 8-by-10-foot outdoor studio/shed in Petaluma, California, just north of San Francisco. Made from reclaimed redwood fencing, the shed has a polycarbonate clerestory window that provides ample interior illumination; the pegboard-lined interior offers multiple storage opportunities. See more of his work at Joseph Sandy Studio.
