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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is crazy. I struggle with peeling off a bit of cellotape or threading a needle so, to see this kind of art deriving from the simplest of items is pretty unbelievable. I have to hand it to Takahiro Iwasaki, the Japanese designer has an incredible eye for detail. You ...

This is one for our German readers I guess. I mean, I know this is a guy with one of the nicest looking offices I’ve seen. Apart from that, I can’t tell you much else and my Google translate is action funny so, them’s the breaks. However, a picture tells ...

Simplicity rules. Not in a “yeah totally awesome dude, that rules” kind of way, rather a “simplicity is a that guy who outshines all the gaudy, try-hards by just standing there looking deal cool and smoking.” Yeah well, if it could this clock would be that guy in the standing ...

This is going in the design section because I can’t be bothered with the debate over the musical merits of Tyler, the Creator. Some like him, some don’t. Regardless, this is a pretty cool piece of cover art for his forthcoming album, Wolf. It’s designed by Mark Ryden who has ...

Seats are for sitting, right? Wrong, you philistine! They’re an interpretive medium through which your ass can express itself. Step your culture game up. Fiending after limited edition artist skate decks is so ‘09, this is what the cool kids are buying now. We like chairs and minimalist architecture! Seriously ...

I'm just going to go ahead and assume you know who James Jebbia is if you're on this site. That might seem snobby or presumptuous of me but if you don't know; Google is your friend. Anyway, this is Mr Jebbia's Greenwich Village loft. The guy has seriously refined taste, with works ...

If you've spent any length of time on here, you'll probably know we're quite fond of skulls. So, it may not surprise you that this caught our eye. But hey, we can be sensitive too; this even has flowers on it! It's not all beer, steak and rugged menswear here ...

This ‘Love Vandal’ print by Nick Walker is real dope. Even better, its limited to only 150 prints and without meaning to sound all art-hipster, it’s nice to own something which is pretty rare. It doesn’t alter the art, which I love, but it makes it a bit more special ...

This is an incredibly informative and engaging interview with two wonderfully talented people in the realm of architecture and design. Plus, the appearance of Pharrell in any video gives it ten extra cool points. Seriously though, this is an insightful look at the inspiration and work of Alex Gorlin and ...
