#West elm coffee tables plus#

A strange problem with this line, but addressable. The tabs did not match up properly to the screw holes and again we had to bend them a bit in shape. Least of all the problems is that like the Industrial Console, getting the metal frame screwed to the wood is an imperfect process. In reality, the table suffers several design flaws.

The same good looks as the Industrial Storage Console we have come to enjoy for years plus storage compartment in a coffee table? Sign us up… or so we thought. It’s available for preorder here.Theoretically we love this table. Styled like a 1970s PSA with a striped background of mustard yellow, burnt orange, and plum and the title printed in black block type, it’s a throwback design for an issue that was relevant then and, sadly, is again today. “What kind of consequence would make sense? Should it be as harsh, painful, nauseating, scarring, expensive, risky, and life-altering…… as forcing a woman to go through a 9-month unwanted pregnancy?” The thread went viral, and now Blair has turned it into a full-length book, Ejaculate Responsibly, with a retro-inspired cover by the design studio Eight and a Half. “What if there was a real and immediate consequence for men who cause an unwanted pregnancy?” Blair writes in the thread. In 2018, Gabrielle Blair, a design blogger and founder of the Altitude design conference, wrote a 63-part Twitter thread about reproductive rights and how “irresponsible ejaculation” is at the root of unwanted pregnancies and, therefore, abortions. “Where does our food come from? And how do our choices affect the planet - now and in the future?

“Ultimately, we want to spark questions,” Lupi says.

A black circle on the top corner of each tower represents the food’s carbon footprint, and in some cases, like with the halo on the beef tower, the circle is much larger than the tower itself, emphasizing the outsize environmental harm related to consuming it. Each of the colorful tower-shaped pieces in the sculpture represents a specific food its height corresponds to the volume consumed.

Haupt Conservatory that visualizes data related to the per capita consumption of specific foods (wheat, milk, fruit, beef, etc.) and the carbon footprint associated with them. Designer Giorgia Lupi and her team at Pentagram created an abstract sculpture in the Enid A. The exhibition also dives into the environmental impact of food production. Until September 11, the New York Botanical Garden has a special exhibition about how the world eats, which includes artist-designed tables, an edible garden planted with vegetables introduced by the transatlantic slave trade, and an oral history of community gardens in the Bronx.

Nearly a year later, the city hasn’t done much to address the issue. Most of the victims lived in basement apartments in historically under-resourced Queens neighborhoods like Woodside, Elmhurst, and Jamaica. Last year, 13 people in the city died as a result of Hurricane Ida’s floodwaters. These graphics are useful tools for understanding if your home might flood during the next big storm, as flooding - by the waterfront but also inland - is becoming more catastrophic in New York. The city released (little-publicized) new flood maps, which illustrate where we can expect “deep and contiguous flooding” from rainwater (waters that are at least one-foot deep) in the future.
