VOL.01
Ever since school, I feel like I’ve been continuing my own education; on the internet, with people I meet, around my city; mostly picking and choosing what I want to learn but often re-learning about stuff they tried to teach us in the classroom, stuff that somehow, never really seemed to stick. I suppose learning [...]
Somewhere out there is an undiscovered doodling prodigy! A Reddit user recently walked into their local car dealership in Oklahoma to get an oil change and found this cup sitting there covered in extraordinary etchings from a ball-point pen… The Reddit member (username SquishyMcphee!) asked the cashier where it had come from … [She] said that a [...]
If you have typography skills, obviously the next logical step is to just start illustrating designer label-dropping Hip Hop lyrics, right? Okay, so it’s a little random but a perfect excuse to ogle some beautiful typography on this fine morning by graphic designer Luke Skinner. His project “Luxury Rap” consists of his hand-drawn lettering in ink [...]
When was the last time you felt like complaining to your landlord? It seems there’s always something disgruntling about where we live (I’m currently annoyed with the workmen in the building who keep blanketing my mobylette in dust), but then you read about a place like the Ponte Tower and suddenly, wherever you’re shacked up doesn’t [...]
Shabby chic; it’s a style you either love or hate, but once you get over the copious amounts of velvet in this rather remarkable property, it might grow on you a little– especially the price! The 40-acre Magnolia Pearl Ranch in Bandera,Texas is made up of 18 independent structures and is currently on the market [...]
So painstakingly detailed, you could easily mistake these photographs for real life-sized rooms straight out of a decorating magazine or a coffee table book for ‘grand home design’. A Tennessee entrance hall These are miniature models made on a scale of one inch to one foot– that includes the upholstery, textiles, rugs, curtains, hand-painted wall-paper and [...]
Just look at her. “You know you want me”, is what she’s saying. And it could be yours … if you’re ready to cough up anything from $5000-$15,000 … for a bicycle. But it’s so much more than just a bicycle! Behold the holy grail of bikes, the Spacelander, a fiber-glass design by Benjamin Bowdon that [...]
Looking at these installations, I imagine they are like clues indicating a secret trail somewhere otherworldly. Like something out of a children’s book, Hansel and Gretel have left a trail, but instead of white pebbles, this time they’ve left retro lamps. Alas it’s not Hansel and Gretel with a new flair for vintage objects, this [...]
Forget the Eiffel Tower, Versailles and the Chartres Cathedral, I’ve got some alternative French attractions to see… La Maison Picassiete- “The House of the Plate Stealer” Built entirely by one man, it took Raymonde Isidore more than 25 years to complete his impressive Maison Picassiette. In 1936, the middle-aged Frenchman began covering his house located [...]
Long before today’s design festivals were exhibiting the latest prototypes for modern family homes featuring mechanised floors and furniture that emerge from walls and ceilings at the touch of a button, Mickey, Daffy and Goofy were already a step ahead. Mickey’s Trailer is a 1938 animated short film produced by Walt Disney featuring Mickey’s highly [...]
