Ellesse by Wood Wood

Wednesday, 01. September 2010

Italy's sportswear-icon Ellesse teamed up with Wood Wood to bring you this fantastic capsule collection, consisting of polos, track-tops, chinos, hats and sweaters. The collection is obviously a homage to the "Casual"-style of the 90ies and by what I've seen it's all-killers, no-fillers. Available here.

Screwtop Table

Wednesday, 18. August 2010

From Joe Doucet, a table with legs that proudly display its construction as a design feature and "takes the idea of self assembly and elevates it to a fetish." From an environmental standpoint, the benefits of shipping an object with as small a footprint as possible are numerous. Unfortunately, flat ...

Kenton Sorenson Leather iPad Portfolio

Monday, 16. August 2010

No, I don't have an iPad and probably will not be getting on in the near future either - like I said previously, I think holding off to the next generation of products is a smarter move. That being said, the slew of accessories being released for the iPad is ...

Flyway View House

Friday, 13. August 2010

The Flyway View House by Jon Anderson Architecture is a 4,590 s.f. private residence located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Again, a well balanced notion of modernity and nature, the house and property utilizes the fact that one acre of the site boarders the North property line of the 160 acre Rio Grande ...

Don Felder “Hotel California” EDS-1275 by Gibson

Friday, 13. August 2010

I am no Eagles fan, however, as a guitar player there is no need to deny the impact they, and especially Don Felder, had on generations of people. Again, whilst I don't think it is their best song "Hotel California" does have one beautifully crafted solo session, mostly due to ...

Diamond Project by Terry & Terry Architects

Thursday, 12. August 2010

Not only in this house in my favourite city in America, San Francisco, but Terry & Terry have pretty much outdone themselves on this one.The house scales an uphill lot, with views to the west. Concrete walls run parallel along the side lot lines, forming the sidewalls of the house ...

Subrosa Malum

Thursday, 12. August 2010

Just two days ago I was talking to my trusted bike professionals here in town as to what I could do to prepare my track bike for the looming fall and winter conditions - riding on slicks just is no fun in rain and sleet. As we were talking I ...

Unbelievably stunning development in Punta del Este, Uruguay by Mathias Klotz. Built in 2005, the house sits on 800 square meter rock overlooking the ocean, and the actual house provides nearly 300 square meters of living space. See the whole presentation here.

Arne Vodder’s #26 Sideboard

Wednesday, 11. August 2010

Probably one of my favourite sideboards of all time. Conceived and created in 1959, copied and mistreated ever since, nothing beats the original. It has earned a place as an icon of all that is wonderful about mid-century Danish design.  The coloured panels on the sliding doors were inspired by his teacher ...

House by George Papadopoulos of Skinotechniki

Tuesday, 10. August 2010

George Papadopoulos is an architect who runs Skinotechniki, a company that normally designs and constructs scenery and sets for the stage, film and television industry, but he has also designed this house for his family in Lemesos, Cyprus. Lucky bastard, is all I have to say to that. Amazing building, working beautifully ...

Desk Sets

Monday, 09. August 2010

Dwell put together a great slide show highlighting probably the most essential piece to modern living - or working for that matter of fact, the desk. In an ideal world I would like to have one at home and at work, but currently, the office just has a higher priority ...

Two Table Leg

Thursday, 05. August 2010

A coffee table designed by Ben Klinger and Shay Carmon, it is based on two legs only. The two legs support and balance each other, and together carry the upper surface. In order to achieve stability, the contact area between the surface and the legs was increased by using additional matter ...

X2 Koh Samui Resort

Tuesday, 03. August 2010

Mrs. V has been on my case to go over to Thailand for several years now and to be perfectly honest, I have not been too excited about it. However, after having been sent a link to the X2 Resort on Koh Samui I might have to change my mind. ...
