Spoleto Festival Welcomes Media to Stop In and Stay Awhile

As part of the preparations surrounding the 36th Annual Spoleto Festival USA, Charleston interior designer, Michael Mitchell, was selected to design this year’s Society Lounge and Press Room, located off the oval room of the Historic Middleton-Pinckney House (c. 1796).  

In the tradition of true Southern hospitality, the inviting Society Lounge and Press Room was designed to both stimulate and relax the senses. Mitchell brings his trademark flair and vitality to the space while maintaining the integrity of the room’s serene and historic bearing. Partnering with Baker on many of the furnishings, Mitchell deftly mixes contemporary components creating the perfect foil to the smooth, rounded walls and the Neoclassical architectural details.

Snooze - The iPhone Alarm Dock with a Big Snooze Bar

 Distil Union is a micro-collective of two industrial designers and one graphic designer who are dreaming up solutions to real-life problems. They're currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds necessary to deliver their first product, Snooze.

"We were tired of fumbling for our iPhone alarm in the morning, so we created Snooze – the bedside stand with a big snooze bar. It creates a home for your iPhone and cable, so no more knocking your iPhone off of the nightstand or turning your alarm off by accident. Snooze lets you easily quiet your alarm or incoming phone calls. Some call snoozing your alarm lazy, but we like to think of it as keeping the dream alive."

Snooze is available exclusively on Kickstarter in 6 handsome designs: Solid Aluminum, 3 wood varieties, and 2 rubber colors called "Pillow White" and "Shut-Eye Black." And now, Apple fans can pre-order Snooze for the new iPhone 5. Help Distil Union reach their goal on Kickstarter by July 26th and keep the dream alive!
