Once again, evidence that avoiding work is a true art.
I’m off to Red Hook (upstate, not Brooklyn) to spend a few days sipping champagne in a hot tub and loving on Mr. Stuart Munch, my friend’s daschund. It’ll be my last little break for a long time…around this time next week I will be closing on my co-op and becoming an adult a home owner!
The Monsieur Dressup collection from design collective Loyal Loot is the type of simple, kinda obvious, functional designs that 
make me want to be a designer and acknowledge I never could. Really, why didn’t I think of this? These is so much design here and so much usefulness with virtually zero footprint. I can imagine this making a perfect landing strip for a super small apartment. I imagine I would mount it on the back of the front door – hang up my coat on the collar, put my keys in the pocket and my purse and umbrella on the cuff. This could be my solution for finally remembering to take everything I need when I leave my apartment!
Unfortunately, it appears that Next Modern Home is the only store, online or otherwise, that’s selling any part of the set in the U.S. While we wait for the full collection, you can see the group’s other work at www.loyalloot.com.
