Fridays' Fun Finds On Saturday: Vodka, Fire, Champagne & Lips

I didn't do the fun Friday finds this week because I did the wild Adidas Star Wars post. So here are a few fun finds for you today:


True American Spirit: 1860s Is A New Vodka In Awesome Packaging


Yee haw! 1860s is a new distinctly American Vodka that is hand crafted and distilled five times filtered through mesquite charcoal. The 1860's bottle comes wrapped in real leather. Very wild west!



New wall mountable fireplaces from Redwitz.


Veuve Clicquot comes out with the Sakura Cherry Blossom Champagne bucket and bottle sleeve for their Rosé in time for Valentine's Day:



Solange Azagury-Partridge's enamel Lips ring:

and a special edition she'd created for (RED):

Cool Ways To Heat Up: Focus Fireplaces of France

The amount of beautifully designed fireplaces created abroad really impress me (for examples, be sure to check my side bar links to amazing fireplace and radiator designers and manufacturers).

One of them, Focus, manufactured exclusively in France, has over 50 stunning wall-mounted, freestanding and custom fireplaces, all designed by Dominique Imbert.

Imbert's designs vary. Some swivel 360 degrees, some look like they are torn from the wall, others have adjustable hoods, and still others are clad in leather.

I'm going to show you a few of my favorites from the collection, you'll have to visit the site to see the rest yourself.

Below are examples of this 'torn metal' look which I think is so interesting. Very primitive yet modern at the same time.

And then this unusual little protrusion from the wall takes up hardly any room yet is impossible to ignore:

Above: The Elliptofocus is actually covered in leather as opposed to the usual metal housing.



Their site, www.focus-creation.com has optional language choices, company history, a bio about the designer and distribution info.
