Chicago-based Lizzie Garrett’s DESIGNwatcher blog (with a passion for all things design), was intrigued by 66degrees.com - “things you won’t get anywhere else” - but she was especially taken with Sergio Silva’s Oyule lamp set. “I love his concept of reusing lightbulbs and essentially sending them ‘back in time’. DESIGNwatcher’s post on 66degrees.com and Oyule is here.

See Pretty Things blog: All Hail Ondas, by Oscar Figueroa
Posted: June 19th, 2008, 12:17am PDT by Stephen
Tags: [edit]
Kimmie Smith, our favourite New York City princess-going-on-queen, writes this about Ondas: “I have found the bracelet that is not only handmade but absolutely decadent! Now this luxury is intensively constructed. The pattern has beautiful waves and make you feel like you’re wearing walking art…definitely a must have".

Spotlight -- Ondas Bracelet, by Oscar Figueroa
Posted: June 18th, 2008, 10:00am PDT by Claudio
Tags: [edit]
From a Mexican city world famous for its jewellery, Oscar Figueroa creates this exclusive hand-made bracelet in sterling silver.
The Ondas bracelet takes its inspiration from waves. Made of sterling silver, a small amount of copper is injected to help make the metal workable, then hand sanded and double-checked to make sure the patterns are consistent. The pieces are joined together to form a design that mixes both traditional Mexican patterns with a modern sensibility.

Spend Money Online blog is latest to talk up Segio Silva's Oyule lamp set
Posted: June 14th, 2008, 11:54pm PDT by Stephen
Tags: [edit]
Spend Money online, a blog with a mission to “Tell You How And Where To Spend Money", did just that for Oyule. Spend Money Online’s story on Oyule, by Segio Silva, is here.Oyule has attracted a lot of attention in the last few days, mostly from gadget sites like Instructables, Boing Boing, Electricpig, and ThisNext (and a couple in languages we can’t read). Many of these scoff at the price, forgetting that all the works on 66degrees.com are made to your order, by hand, in small limited editions – there are no production lines at 66degrees.com to bring down the cost. Wal Mart might “rip off” Sergio’s idea and order a million from China, but you’ll find the one-of-a-kind item here first.

Spotlight -- NYC La.Ga Handbag for KrvKurva, by Sarah Parris
Posted: June 4th, 2008, 10:00am PDT by RyanR
Tags: [edit]
Visualized by one of England’s most sought after designers, and hand-made at a women’s prison in Portugal, this ultra-exclusive handbag is available only at 66degrees.com.
The La.Ga Bag, a trademark of Lisbon-based design studio Krv Kurva, is distinctly European in design. Shaped like a large teardrop, the bag is constructed from semi-rigid Dupont Tyvek (water, radioactive, and bio-hazard resistant, of course). Thinner than one millimeter and weighing less than 40 grams, this bag is able to hold up to 55kg easily, while still being machine washable.
Krv Kurva’s latest design is now a 66degrees.com exclusive. “NYC” is a bold interpretation of the New York skyline at twilight by English fashion and art designer Sarah Parris. Each La.Ga bag is hand made by the inmates of a female prison in Tires, outside Lisbon, Portugal. The collaboration provides the women, many of whom are poor and uneducated, an opportunity to learn skills and earn a living when they leave prison.

Spotlight -- Naked Baroque, by Hilary White
Posted: May 22nd, 2008, 2:23pm PDT by Karen
Tags: [edit]
“Banish boring and bring on the drama!” New York Interior Designer Hilary White delivers fresh inspiration on modern design, transforming a small classic furniture motif into a huge unique wall piece.
For 66degrees.com, Hilary has offered up the bold and stylish Naked Baroque. Hand-carved, Naked Baroque is a stunning wall piece that is both a conversation starter and work of art. Says Hilary, “I love playing with scale. I love the movement in the piece and how it is transparent in that you can see through the spaces in the shape to create a negative space, which creates a design all its own”. The white coloured mahogany form floats and spirals, akin to clouds or waves, filling any wall with bold design and a sense of drama.
