Lerival congratulates Incorporated for it’s feature in today’s Home & Garden section – “From Bachelor Pad to an Adult’s Home, for $8,000” - in which the firm was challenged to come up with a design solution for a young couple, low on cash, but eager for style. The apartment looks beautiful…and as a tribute to their spatial saviors, perhaps the couple’s first on-their-own purchase will be a few Hex Tables…

“For modern furniture designers in North America, finding a manufacturer to produce their work can be like searching for the proverbial needle in a hay stack…but a new company on the scene may help change that” writes Arlene Hirst for this month’s issue of Azure, Canada’s leading architecture & design magazine. Thanks for the support from up north!

Lerival is excited to announce the featuring of Della Valle Bernheimer’s JACK Table in SNAP’s spring issue, the Product Supplement to Architectural Record’s Sweets Network publication. Lerival’s founders, quoted as “moving beyond contract furnishings and presenting the system as a flexible option for the workplace and the home” hope for an emergence into the market that expresses precisely this: JACK Tables for every use, personalized while still modular, and designed to bring out the unique nature of each user and space.

Lerival’s JACK Table, designed by Della Valle Bernheimer and selected as an Editor’s Pick in Architectural Record’s 2009 Product Report, launched last Thursday at tribeca’s Issey Miyake boutique to select members of the New York design community. Escaping the snow and warming up with a selection of sakes, guests were able to publicly view the patented design for the first time. Beginning April 15th, JACK will be available by order through lerival.com and tribeca Issey Miyake, both in its full form and as individual table legs.

Our congratulations go out to Granger and Robert from Moorhead & Moorhead for their Ice Heart sculpture in New York’s Time Square. The entire 10 foot tall heart, timed for Valentine’s day, is constructed of masonry scaled blocks of ice, and designed to pick up the lights, colors and activity of Times Square.
Lerival’s favorite characteristic of the Ice Heart lies in its fleeting nature, matching its temporary status. In introducing the uncertain melting of the ice blocks as a key feature of the project, Moorhead & Moorhead have managed to turn a hindrance into an asset, adding an extra dimension through material innovation.
Read more about the project here and in the NY Times.

Just in time for a month of shopping, New York Magazine is featuring Moorhead & Moorhead’s Felt Stool in their current ‘Best Bets’ section.
Despite it’s delicate appearance, the ’surprisingly sturdy’ piece promises to support even the most gluttonous of party-goers, while looking good in the process….

You may have noticed a change… We have made the decision to retract the post entitled ‘Dead Americans’ following the omission of appropriate credit to journalist Julie Taraska’s recent piece ‘Is the Death of American Design Greatly Exaggerated?‘ (Metropolis Magazine, September 16th, 2009). As a company, lerival survives on the innovative thinking of our community of design professionals and understands the importance of secure intellectual property. We would like to communicate our sincerest regret for the oversight and thank Julie for bringing the matter to our attention.
