The Juvet Landscape Hotel

The Juvet Landscape Hotel

Wednesday, 22. May 2013

“Architectural firm Jensen & Skodvin have completed what could be the world's very first ‘landscape hotel,’ designed to focus on the outside environment instead of the inside. Located in Norway, The Juvet Landscape Hotel is based on the idea that a structure should blend into its surrounding environment, offering amenities that are oriented outwards ...

We've posted waaaaaay too many shoes recently. So here's a post to compensate for our shallow ways. It's pretty arty and stuff, I guess, so you might like it. Then again, you might think we're trying to hard to seem cultured (we kind of are, we prefer footwear) and should ...

Aitor Throup Sketches

Aitor Throup Sketches

Wednesday, 08. May 2013

Aitor Throup, by my reckoning, is about two years away from being that dude. By that, I mean the guy has the potential to eclipse any fashion designer in the game through sheer ingenuity and the freshness which he brings to the table. If you've not heard of him, get ...

Kuumba Mini Incense French Vanilla

Friday, 03. May 2013

You're not a true menswear fiend until you own some completely frivolous, non-clothing related shit that you bought from some niche clothing store in order to make your one-dimensional self seem less shallow. Incense is always a good start because it makes your gaff smell real nice and it gives you an excuse ...

Tuesday, 16. April 2013

If I had any sort of business, and a big cheque-book, I’d be phoning up Havas after watching this video and begging them to creatively direct the fuck out of my work. I don’t, so instead I’m just going to share this video which utilises amazing typography to act as ...

Mamnick Page Markers

Monday, 15. April 2013

Yeah, we read. We're all about culture and shit. And I mean real books, none of this blog nonsense; tangible stuff with no pictures because we're grown men. Appealing to my OCD when it comes to pristine print, Mamnick have released some page markers so that your page corners no ...

Time Stacks

Time Stacks

Monday, 15. April 2013

Art without a skull in sight, refreshing isn't it? These images were shot and created by Matt Molloy, who combines multiple images into a single shot. Often these photos are from time-lapses he's shot and then stacked. The above image consists of 134 separate images which have been merged. The outcome is truly amazing. Shout ...

Our Exquisite Corpse Huichol Skull

Our Exquisite Corpse Huichol Skull

Thursday, 11. April 2013

I was sitting thinking the other day; I know exactly what my room needs, a £500 beaded skull that will make it look like I’m celebrating Dia de Muertos all year round. That shit will really set off my Mexican feng shui. And then, as if by some cosmic blessing ...

Some crazy art here, courtesy of Samuel de Goede who puts together one of the finest newsletters (yeah, people still do them) around. They usually revolve around art and culture; encapsulating his interests through a variety of links, text and video. Seriously, it’s pretty damn cool - sign up for ...

Neighborhood Booze. Crow Incense Chamber

Neighborhood Booze. Crow Incense Chamber

Tuesday, 02. April 2013

I’ve been doing some reading and stuff recently on mad intellectual shit like “self cultivation.” That’s not like some weird self-help book about conquering inner demons and discovering your happy place. No, self cultivation is the social meanings we attach to inanimate objects as they provide visible and stable categories ...

Tuesday, 26. March 2013

Here’s some pretty dope homeware for your perusal courtesy of Berlin’s Paper and Tea. Being from this side of the pond, you kind of need to like tea. I’m more of a coffee guy, generally, but a good brew at the end of the day is always a winner. As ...

Shepard Fairey “Plagiarist” Accusations

Shepard Fairey “Plagiarist” Accusations

Saturday, 16. March 2013

I don’t really know why I’m posting this as I don’t particularly agree with the article. I did, however, find it an interesting discussion, albeit I kind of think the author doesn’t really “get” this little world of ours. Basically, the author has collated Shepard Fariey’s “plagiarised” pieces of work ...

Photolettering App by House Industries

Photolettering App by House Industries

Friday, 15. March 2013

If you follow Steven on Instagram, you'll have seen this pretty nifty wee piece of technology already. Basically, House Industries has an extensive catalogue of fonts and this app allows you to edit images with various typefaces. The only real drawback is that you need to pay for some of the ...

Floppy Table by Neulant van Exel

Floppy Table by Neulant van Exel

Wednesday, 13. March 2013

The Germans sure know how to make a fine-looking table. The Floppy Table by Berlin designers Neulant van Exel is a throwback to a time of dial up internet and grainy internet porn. Simpler times. Luckily, I’m too fresh faced to remember those days clearly, but it sounds like the ...
