Werner Bronkhorst, a former furniture designer, layers leftover plaster onto canvases and sculpts colored plaster to create textured surfaces. He paints tiny, highly detailed figures within those textures, presenting miniature scenes — tennis players, swimmers, skiers — rendered with astonishing precision at a small scale. Brooklyn-based design studio Faber/Hughes completed Glace Candy’s flagship on Madison Avenue, combining hot chocolate and frozen desserts with a pick‑and‑mix candy retail side. The shop features matte plaster walls, walnut cabinetry, and candy‑colored marble offcuts, evoking a Willy Wonka atmosphere. Sunny Tails offers a 4‑in‑1 Convertible Hands‑Free Cloud Leash made from waterproof, durable materials that can be worn multiple ways for control.
A former furniture designer, Bronkhorst began experimenting with leftover plaster, layering it onto canvases before painting tiny, detailed figures within the textured surfaces. While plaster art isn't new to me, his work flips the focus. Instead of emphasizing broad, sculptural textures like most plaster pieces, Bronkhorst invites you to zoom in. Each composition features miniature scenes - tennis players mid-swing, swimmers mid-stroke, skiers in motion - rendered with astonishing precision despite their tiny scale.
Glace's new flagship store is the latest completed project by Brooklyn-based design studio Faber/Hughes. One side serves hot chocolate and frozen desserts, while the other is a pick & mix selection of sweets. The entire shop is a modern day Willy Wonka factory - if Wonka himself had a thing for matte plaster walls, walnut cabinetry, and candy-colored marble offcuts.
While I usually take viral "must-haves" with a grain of salt, I think we can all agree on the basics: a collar, leash, treat pouch, and poop bag holder. Sunny Tails nails the essentials, especially with their thoughtfully designed 4-in-1 Convertible Hands-Free Cloud Leash. Made from waterproof, durable materials, this clever leash can be worn crossbody, around the waist, used as a classic hand-held leash, or shortened into a traffic handle for extra control.
