Fascinating exhibit ~ “Seventy Years of Penguin Design” at the Holburne Museum of Art in Bath - i love seeing all the old book covers and the evolution of the Penguin book logos!
The Crossroads of the World on sunset blvd in hollywood. ~ first shopping center in LA ~ built in 1938 ~ and completely surreal just after sunset... i was there for the Tinlark Anniversary Show (#8200)
Beautiful new ad campaign for Miu Miu Spring 2008 with Kristen Dunst~ particularly smitten with the ominous surreal reds of the backgrounds in contrast with her very pale look... and some great bags and shoes!
A.P.C. has a fun leather wrap bracelet in their Spring 2008 collection with a centimitre ruler embossed on it! So many uses, so cute in black and tan leathers...
Nice Room & Board Copenhagen Media Console to hang or place the plasma on... and discreetly hide the many game consoles, etc. New for 2008 you can get them open top, in various sizes/finishes.
On gadgets worth adding to the travel list ~ Monster's Outlets To Go (i like the 4 vs the 3) are a nice one... particularly coupled with a travel adapter!
Strange ~ but bizarrely funny ~ for those who like LOLcats ~ there is a LOLinator that translates your page into LOL both visually and textually. Here's a reason to hug a designer today.
For me, a mac is *just* a tool, not a way of life. Apparently the mindeset profile for people who own a mac is really high in openness, superiority, perfectionism - and low in modesty and dogmatism?
These animal electrical outlet covers are pretty cute ~ liking the sheep and elephant best. Best comment idea ~ someone should make skull and crossbones!
+Beryll party at the Smart House tonight ~ truly one of the best event spaces in LA ~ this tristory loft space in Venice Beach is incredible architecturally, and i find new things to love about it every time!
Can you imagine if this Vans iPhone Finger Fracture game got made? You could pull some pretty crazy skateboarding tricks with two fingers and your multitouch iphone!
Yada ~ you have to check out the pics of their well designed CES booth that draws you right into it with its cool lights and mini. And then i was surprised by the affordable and minimalist bluetooth headsets +accs!
Just a tiny bit larger than a zippo ~ here's the latest in glossy tech from La Cie ~ the Tiny Disk which holds 30/40 GB and even has a cap/built in USB! See the close ups!
French designer JEAN-MARIE MASSAUD’s concept for a floating hotel, the glorious whale-shaped “Manned Cloud” promises to be a transcendent thing of beauty should it ever reach the clouds.
Handpresso ~ bicycle pump + expresso packet + hot water = expresso on the go? The nice design coupled with the hilariously suggestive french couple in a movie theater ad makes it worth checking out.
UPDATED! Dan got us some hands on shots of the MacBook Air ~ close ups of all the tiny details i was curious about ~ like the power adapter connection and the ports, etc...
LIVE from macworld ~ and it ain't pretty... Here are a few pics on how insane macworld is currently, and how bad it was this morning for regular people trying to get into the keynote. Quite the sea of humanity.
Great post and video at the Pentagram blog about their latest redesign of Dairy Today magazine... its incredible what a glam portrait cow covermodel each month can do.
Liking the look of Stelton's Super Charger designed by Designit~ many have tried various charging pot designs, but this stainless + plastic with a slit is grabbing me the most.
One Less Desk ~ an interesting super minimalist desk design from Heckler ~ particularly for the mac fan boys, but the idea of two thin desks like this for various configs is pretty sweet if you're not into desk space
So there it is ~ popping out of a manilla envelope ~ the macbook air. but EVEN CUTER? The actual music video of yael naim's "new soul" that is used in their ad
I feel like hanners on gongs tonight. Brain... no... worky. but big apple keynote tomorrow bright and early, are you anxious? Is your apple sense tingling?
In all honesty, who HASN'T been inspired by legendary Stan Lee? A large group show at Gallery 1988 pays tribute to him and his many comic book heroes that can't be missed!!!
I bet you didn't realize that the Squeezebox Duet Remote has an SD slot, headphone jack, speaker, IR transmitter, accelerometer , flickr browsing, clock.... in addition to being able to stream your music (even sirius) via wifi
StrangeCo's new Vivisect Playset ~ 8 blind box creatures from a slew of our fav artists that are the perfect characters for that desk you spend too much time at... here is my favorite, The King Of Deadbeats!
