Furniture meets abstract sculpture

These sculptural chairs come to us courtesy of New York-based design firm Aranda\Lasch, though based from their looks, comfort isn't one of the chairs' better qualities. They're made of metal pipes, and each frame is upholstered in silicone foam and hand-sewn leather. Called Railing, the new collection was unveiled this week at Design Miami 2015, which runs until December 6, 2015.

"Though the pieces in the collection vary in size, shape, function and complexity, each one carries the same logic of a single line that curves through a lattice of fractal circles and comes back to itself to form a continuous loop," Aranda\Lasch explained.

Great design, but a loser when it comes to practical, comfortable seating. I still want one, though.

It was the year when I was afraid to go to birthday parties for fear that everyone would start singing Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back . 1990 was the year when I caught mumps and chickenpox. It was the year when no one was quite sure what happened between my science teacher and my classmate's dad, but they were sure happy about it. A reason to see Presumed Innocent is the amazing performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp. A reason not to see it is if you're already very familiar with the book and the movie. For some reason, I even had a paperback…but I'd never read it, start to finish. So here I am, ...

The Bizarre History of Rum

Back when I was drinking a lot more alcohol than I do these days, my go to beverage was rum. Born from sugarcane and with a past as rich and complex as its flavor, rum is inexpensive and has a smooth taste. The longer it ages, the better and more complex it becomes. Whether you're sipping a simple Tanduay and Coke or handcrafted cocktails like the Mojito, Daiquiri, and Mai Tai, rum is always a good choice.
