Leave a Message, Make a Statement

Viil has an uncanny ability to find that crazy chair, secret bookcase or floating bed that you didn’t know you needed and can’t find anywhere else.

Even though my iPhone lets me check my email, receive sms, and talk to people, I still love it when someone leaves me a physical message. In this posting, I’ll introduce you to some decorative, fun and decidedly modern ways of leaving messages.

Write it on the Chandelier

Ingo Maurer’s Zettel’z 6 chandelier has been on my wish list for a long time. Why anyone haven’t bought it for me yet is a true mystery (hint, hint..).

Chalkboard stickers are somewhat cheaper and can look great in your home office, your kitchen, a playroom, or in the hallway.
