"dinah coops is a seattle based designer creating modern, artful products inspired by nature and minimalism." whether for trays, candles or for hanging as art right on the wall or leaning on a mantle, dinah's designs lend themselves to any surface. it's funny because today i was talking with one of my customer's about how fun it is to define and decorate tabletops for family or guests. i mentioned that i collect different pieces of china and teacups, saucers etc. and that nothing in my cupboard matches. so when the table is set it is fun to pick a plate either by mood or color or design. how fun to add the element of her natural, organic designs under each plate or platter.
the first thing that caught my eye about dinah's designs was the minimalistic approach to her squares. i love that. i also love designs that wander off the page so to speak. they are not centered and framed but have movement. "currently, she is developing a line of home accessories that combines the elements of surface design, utility, and environmental sustainability." lucky for all of us. i have a feeling that dinah and her designs are one's to watch. enjoy!
