Delicious 'Designer's Notebook'.
Whilst snooping around an art store in Newtown, Sydney found this fab notebook. I wanted it so bad, but I, like most things, couldn’t justify the purchase.
If you have the mulah— you can get it here!

A-MAGAZIN!
“Created by DING 3000 for Konstantin Slawinski, MAGAZIN is a magazine stand in the shape of a house. When you’re done reading but you want to save your place simply lay the open magazine on the roof of the house, and then pick it up again without losing the page. The rest of your magazines and books can be stored under the roof.”
Thanks to Design Milk for the link!

I love Colossal. I know I toot this blog’s horn quite a bit, but it’s awesome. Check out these rad match installations by Claire Fontaine that I found over there.
I want to be the one to set them on fire!

Footsies
Love these ‘Foot Stickers’ designed by an independent graduation project at Nike EMEA. I think I’d need to be a little more committed to Yoga first, though, to justify the purchase.

Coffee Stain Scape
“Japanese designer and artist Yukihiro Kaneuchi has created a tiny landscape in a coffee cup.
This cup was created using the concept that as we grow and age and relationships are formed over time through interactions with others. Thus, as you drink your coffee over time, a tiny landscape appears from the coffee stain, evoking the same idea that a relationship develops and emerges over time...

The Continual Chair
David Lee from Metous Studio has designed ‘The Continual Chair’, an interactive chair that communicates tactile relationships between users.
Set in a grid, 123 tubes can be pushed down to any height, with four tubes functioning as the stabilisers. Over time, all the tubes will be pushed down, at which point the chair can be easily flipped for the process to start over.

Shokki by Laurent Corio
I’ve always had a soft spot for earthenware, ceramics and clay counterparts. I like the matte surfaces and silent nod to simplicity. So, I was excited to see these cooking vessels called Shokki by Paris-based designer Laurent Corio pop up on my radar this morning.
See Dezeen for the story.

Playbutton
The Playbutton is a pin-on button containing a single predetermined album. You can pause, skip tracks and adjust the volume.
I love this move back to vinyl mentality, these days it’s too easy not to listen to an album in full. I think that in some strange way that this is an advocation of slow design. You can’t home program it at home, but you can order it at Playbutton!
Love it.

Design Fancies
I love literature, it’s pretty obvious when I make you stare at my T.S. Eliot tattoo. Ink aside, I’m infatuated with all things design (well, almost all things). So, should these two combine I start frothing at the mouth and channelling an incoherent Pentecostal happy clapper. Enter Matt Brown and his creation Design Fancy over at Core77, a series of short stories about fictional...

Seat Belts
“Chinese artist Hongtao Zhou’s bench made of 1000 belts is a two-ended seating option: one is a ‘belt buckle’ that functions as an end table, while the other is a bull’s head made of chair parts and belts. The curving structure is a metal frame in which the belts are wrapped around, the supporting seat surface. All the belts were collected or donated by people in...

So there is hope.
“Keep in mind that early news reports on scientific stories are sometimes wildly inaccurate. But, that said, it appears that doctors claim to have cured an HIV-infected man:
The ‘Berlin Patient,’ a U.S. citizen named Timothy Ray Brown, underwent a procedure in which HIV-resistant stem cells from an individual with an unusual genetic profile were introduced into his...

Mistakes and TOTAL WIN
An architecture student, Pouya Khazaeli Parsa, has had a huge win from making a mistake. Attempting to create a dome, the material used to create the structure had a mind of it’s own and succumbed to an unusual twist.
The result is a very desirable and easy-to-resurrect hut that will be used as ‘Retreat Huts’ in Iran.
This encourages me to keep fucking up. Sweet.

Writing Pictures
British artist Keira Rathbone uses the letters and punctuation marks on typewriters to create landscapes and portraits. Using old typewriters, which helps her control how dark the ink is based on the pressure of her keystrokes, Rathbone has 30 of them.

The Poets
Erik de Nijs and Tim Smit of Nieuwe Heren, the Dutch-based studio have redesigned some familiar objects.
Enter ‘The Poets’, specifically Blake and Goethe (representing the left and the right). Functioning as a wall lamp when folded and as a chair when not, I love these gorgeous chairs. They had me at poetry.

CUT stools.
Lambria is a small, new British design company that has released their first series of products.
CUT is a lightweight stool made with environmentally-friendly high density crushed cork and steel. The different cuts in the cork material is what makes each stool unique.
Gorgeous.
