Current Obsessions: Bright Palette

Ahead this weekend? Noguchi lights, Shaker outposts, Pamela Anderson’s new outdoor living collection, and more. Have a gander:

• Vipp’s latest guesthouse, in upstate New York, resembles “a stone in a pond.”
• You’re invited to a book exchange hosted by Ravenhill Studio.
• “Wish I could go to this,” writes Fan: Airmail reports on an ode to Noguchi in Atlanta.
• And mark your calendars for Maira Kalman’s “Shaker Outpost and General Store”.
• “Friend compounds” are on the rise; would you build one?
• Need extra storage? Consider this new do-it-all Ikea cabinet (p.s. it works outdoors, too).
• Julie’s eyeing this cushion collection made from antique fabrics.
• Have you heard this? Brandi Carlile on her mattress obsession.
• Summer workshops are now open for registration at internationally renowned Domaine des Boisbuchet in southwest France. Of note: The “Embodied Nature” workshop with ikebana artists Frida Kim and Wagner Kreusch.
• Speaking of workshops,  here’s Salmon Creek Farm’s summer programming. How great would it be to spend a week in one of their handcrafted cabins?
• R/G editors have a long-standing love for Korbo baskets. Now the brand has partnered with  Swedish designer Monica Förster for a new line of recycled aluminum planters.
• It’s Pamela Anderson’s world—and we’re just living in it. The well-documented garden lover just launched a new wicker furniture collection, “The Sentimentalist,” for Olive Ateliers and it is so, so good.
• We were recently reminded of artist Cornelia Konrads’ stunning work in nature, with nature.
• P.S. Sale alert: DWR’s annual Outdoor Sale is happening now, with discounts of up to 25 percent off. (Fan has her eye on the new Jasper Morrison x HAY collection that she wrote about last month.)
