I’ve seen bigger, but not tastier.
Currently sold out at ThinkGeek.com, which is too bad. Pillows like this change lives. When that special someone comes over and sees pillows as cool as these, it means they’re encouraged to get comfortable.
This is always a good thing.
My boy D Vader, on some next shit.
A multitude of artists gathered to come up with some fresh looks for one of the 20th century’s most iconic villain. Check out some of heat they generated.
Nod Young is selling his works “The Puti Tree #1-4″ over at L’affiche Moderne. Available in 20×28″ and 12×16″ varieties for 59€ and 29€ respectively ($76 & $38USD).
Ryan cole of tellmesomethingnice designed these masks for the Impakt Festival, an annual design event in Holland. The past year’s theme was “society 2.0″ and the masks above are a take on the personal avatars as used throughout our internet travels. A different mask button was given out to everyone who participated in the festival. They were designed over the same grid to add restraint and continuity the same way the web does. If you check out this video from the festival’s website you can see that there is some method to their madness creating the masks with different combinations of two layers.
Jeremy Kaplan makes furniture. Rad furniture. Check out this “Vine Table” as well as all of his other creations over at his website. Unfortunately there is no information of pricing or how to buy, so if you find out let us know, or just spend your time visualizing how well his pieces would look in your home.
Spacesick, the designer responsible for the “I Can Read Movies” series, is at it again. This time its a Dig-dug, Pacman, and Centipede in retro credit sequence a la Saul Bass. He’s posted a few short clips on his blog, and by the looks of it, he’s working on stringing them all together. Now all they need is a bank to rob.
Back in 2001, London nightclub Fabric began releasing a series of mixes by top DJs. Last year they requested a mix from Justice, the French electro duo, but after reviewing the tape Fabric rejected the submission. Justice’s reply: “They weren’t ready for this.”
If you aren’t into 80s pop and the Korgis song ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ sounds familiar, it was covered by Beck in the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack.
It’s probably not possible to love something too much, but if it were, Helvetica and Moleskine notebooks would be at the top of our list. Now, the Helvetica Project has managed to bring two of our favourite things together. These were created especially for a exhibit in Harajuku, and they’re in limited supply.
There’s two styles to choose from, along with a host of other Helvetica gear. Available here for 2520 yen ($28 USD).
Designer Nikolay Saveliev has a lot more than a wicked sounding name going for him. He’s created a series of fake academic papers on the state of the pop music industry and disguised them as album covers. Each cover bears a title that would be more at home in an academic journal than a record store, but that’s where you’ll find them. In a move reminiscent of Banksy and Danger Mouse’s assault on the music of Paris Hilton, the designs have been covertly inserted into real record shops in the Rhode Island area.
This one is an obvious nod to Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures, but the pleasure we take in his minimalistic jab at the music industry is anything but unknown.
The Engineering Collections of Glassware by Ruckl Crystal is a perfect example of merging art with practical design. The pieces are etched with engineering specifications, which would go perfectly with your drafting table. So far the collections includes the pictured whiskey bottle, whiskey glass, and highball glass, as well as an ice bucket, wine glass and champange flute.
