Do you live in a house with a top class architectural pedigree?
If so, listen up, because the conservation body that looks after Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater has come up with a crafty way to get the windows replaced: sell the old ones off to architectural relic hunters.
Their website explains that the old windows are [...]

My new favourite designers are the Play Coalition, who first came to my attention with their selfless light fitting, The Martyr; a neat little visual pun on the idea of energy-saving.

They’ve now come up with a crazy, Tim Burton-esque solution to light-starved houseplants, The Plantbot.
Slap in your favourite fern, yucca, whatever and say goodbye to [...]

We like clever designs at FindaProperty. And we like smart, green ideas.  So when a marriage of the two comes to our attention, we like to share the joy.
Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we bring to your attention the Can Can Chair, a regal looking affair (albeit toytown-sized) that is made entirely from recycled [...]

It’s caravanning, Jim, but not as we know it.
Q: How do you turn the old-fashioned caravan into a trendy affair?
A: It’s easy! Simply:
1. Include the word Pod in the blurb
2. Manufacture it in a lurid funky colour
3. Give it a catchy name
4. Market it to ‘urbanites’
And, hey presto, welcome to the brand new world of [...]

What the … eh? … awww ain’t it cute!
The latest offering from achingly trendy design mavericks SuckUK has sparked a bit of a heated debate here in the FAP Editorial Suite.
Well, it did once we’d all stopped laughing like loons at the sight of this slightly indignant looking cat ‘flying’ a WWII plane.
Look, he seems [...]

“Rudimentary illimitable sewerage? malformation, backstop carolyn.
Clog document millionaire? last, last lucy”
No I haven’t been channelling TS Eliot again. (Last time I tried that, I kept seeing women coming and going, talking about Michaelangelo – all rather weird.)
Instead, this deathless verse is but a fragment from one of the occasional spam emails we get here at [...]

Acoustic cloaking? Sonic crystals? Have I unwittingly staggered across some new age musical therapy? The kind that involves mantras and chakras, auras and a heavy dose of unreserved middle class self-indulgence?
Actually no, these techie terms bear no reference to spiritually inspired incantations per se, but they could one day protect your home – and your [...]

“I have met quite a few architects around the world over the years, and few appear to be dog lovers … Perhaps it’s because dogs are messy and chaotic creatures, while architects are generally tidy and ordered?
“Le Corbusier had a dog during his purist phase. It was called Pinceau, or “paintbrush” in English.
“When Pinceau died, [...]

Not content with inspiring Woody Allen’s best film while still in my mother’s womb, it has recently been brought to my attention that there now exists a remarkable shopping trolley chair bearing my name.
The Annie Chair, as can be seen below, takes the unlikely combo of utilitarianism and kitsch to absurdly delightful new heights with [...]

Bit of a domestic drama the other day. Keen to make the most of the recent sunshine, I’d rushed straight home from work to enjoy the last of the evening rays on the roof terrace.
My cat, a pampered puss who spends most of her time indoors – quite contentedly, I might add, being a Persian [...]
