The Hot Seat

San Francisco based company, Covell & Jones, created the latest in heater furniture.  Aptly name Hearth, this handmade bench warms from within.  Seating four, the cast stone surface sits atop a powder coated steel base.  Inside the seat is an integrated variable control system for energy efficient heating.  Using standard 120v power, 1500watts, 12.5 amps, each piece is plug in ready.  Order today! Lead time is 8-10 weeks.

 

Covell & Jones is a design + fabrication studio that builds stylish solutions for outdoor living spaces. Their goal is to make products that challenge the expected package of how furniture should look and perform.

As someone who enjoys spending time outside all year round, but who also likes to keep nice and warm, this is an amazing idea.  Let's face it, outdoor heaters do little to keep you warm and if there is the slightest breeze, forget about it.

A Classic With a Twist

Rob Bayne, senior brand manager for Diet Coke in North West Europe and Nodics, said "Fashion is a top interest of our fans so we started designer collaborations to create something new and exciting for our drinkers.

New look for my fav Diet Coke?

This summer, iconic fashion designer Jean Paul Gauliter revealed the latest design 'Tattoo'.  This is the third design, joining 'Night and 'Day' which debuted in April.  These partnerships between Diet Coke and fashion designers over the past 10 years bring fun and new energy to fans worldwide.

Here is a bit about the designs seen above:
“The bottles and cans were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier himself – taking inspiration from his unique, signature styles and harnessing his fun and light-hearted attitude,” Bayne said.

‘Night’ includes a provocative lace corset and fish stockings, while ‘Day’ showcases Gaultier’s famous Breton stripes in an easy-to-wear look.  ‘Tattoo,’ the line’s latest bottle, pays homage to the designer’s love for body art.

Tasty treat for the mouth and eyes.
