Hiding places

This is a really fun project called “Secret Stash” by Taiwanese product designer Yiting Cheng – currently doing an MA at Royal College of Art, London.

Al Jarnow

If you don’t know painter, filmmaker, software developer, exhibition designer (in other words, multi talent) Al Jarnow, then it is about time. A new dvd with his collected works (shortfilms & animations) has been released earlier this year and it is definitely on our wishlist. More about him here.

Trailer for the dvd …

Two of his shortfilms here …

And a white hand … ?

Avantgarde designer Hussein Chalayan has some really cool details in his Spring Summer 2010 collection … we like the hat with the built in visor. The white hand detail is a little on the creepy side though … but also quite funny!

Lola Dupré

Remarkable collages by Glasgow based artist Lola Dupré. She makes them by cutting up original photos and reassembling them by hand using scissors and pens. See more of her work here.

Livraison IV

Livraison is an annual publication with self-proclaimed “astronomical ambitions”. Basically it is a book/magazine that each year focuses on a theme or question as imagined and interpreted by a selection of photographers, designers, musicians, professors & writers. The new issue (2.000 handnumbered issues) which is out 01.02.2010 revolves around “Places” – a description of places that matter, inspire or are simply memorable.

How do you do (it)?

New book called “Studio Culture – The Secret Life of the Graphic Design Sudio” gives you a little view behind the scene. A series of interviews with 28 design studios from abroad, plus pictures from their studios and examples of their work. Should be inspirational to all kinds of creatives thinking of starting up their own business. LA has just one piece of advice: “Don’t fear, just do it!”.

Isabella

We can’t get enough of these little Green Porno movies starring the cool and fun Isabella Rossellini! In the third season she is both a squid and a shrimp!

See all the movies on Sundance Channel

Max Lamb Box

We love this multi-purpose box designed by Max Lamb, well trained from The Royal College of Art and Tom Dixon’s studio.

Ideas from …

“I like things to be orderly. For seven years I ate at Bob’s Big Boy. I would go at 2:30, after the lunch rush. I ate a chocolate shake and four, five, six, seven cups of coffee – with lots of sugar. And there’s a lot of sugar in that chocolate shake. It’s a thick shake. In a silver goblet. I would get a ruch from all this sugar, and I would get so many ideas! I would write them on these napkins. It was like I had a desk with paper. All I had to do was remember to bring my pen, but a waitress would give me one if I remembered to return it at the end of my stay. I got a lot of ideas at Bob’s.” David Lynch, film maker.
