SEXITECTUREcover

Since I hadn’t posted much for a while I thought I’d do two posts in two days. (I’m feeling guilty!)

While doing a search for mid-century modern furniture a little while back I came across this photographic book by Jed Darland titled Sexitecture. Released in 2004, the limited edition book contains 50 black and white photographs of the female body and various pieces of designer furniture. The book is published in a frame-lid box so all the photographs can be individually mounted or framed.

“SEXITECTURE: The female body graced by architecturally inspired furniture will raise awareness of the importance of design as it relates to human scale, and remind readers to be conscious of their surroundings, where they live, where they work, and most importantly, where they sit.” JED DARLAND

The limited edition of 10,000 copies is now sold out but I have seen copies listed for sale on www.amazon.com 

Sexitecture also has a new project in the works: “SEXITECTURE: The Vitruvian Man.”

  1. Hello Aiden Taylor,

    My name is Danielle Orvella and I am the Director of Marketing for another one of Jed Darland’s visions. After publishing his book Sexitecture, Jed began another project which started in his own back yard. Please read the story below.

    What would you do with wood scraps left over from a furniture refurbishing project destined for the trash bin?

    Jed Darland, an entrepreneur with a passion for design, gardening and art used his scraps to create a handcrafted piece of art to naturally bring style and functionality to his garden. Darland was born and raised in Seattle and studied Architecture in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University.

    Plant Picket embodies the spirit of these great American cities, their trade and their culture. Its design is influenced by their heritage and inspired by master woodcraft and precision manufacturing. Bringing the spirit of the Pacific Northwest to Pittsburgh, Plant Picket is handcrafted with pride in America. Every Plant Picket is unique as each ornament is hand painted, cast in acrylic and polished. Each stake is also handcrafted from premium rot resistant wood. Capturing the spirit of America, Plant Picket will stick up for your garden for over 20 years. http://www.plantpicket.com.

    As our world is becoming more eco-friendly, we enlist your help in making “living closer to the ground” more attractive. Plant Picket is writing you today to ask you for your help in growing our crowd for our Kickstarter campaign. Since mydesignfix is a popular designer blog, and you have supported the great work of Darland before, we thought this would be a great opportunity to start sprouting the hype.

    From posting pictures to blog write-ups and reviews, we would love your support in making this budding campaign a success. We are enthusiastic about our product and confident that it will be a success in gardens around the world. http://www.plantpicket.com.

    Plant Picket would love to sit down with you or chat over the phone to discuss our product in more detail. We want you to see it, touch it and use it! If you are interested in helping energize our campaign, we will be happy to send samples and further information about our exciting new product.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Thank you,

    Danielle Orvella
    Director of Marketing
