Research projects are almost due, and toys from our childhood are starting to invade studio. Things are still looking a little bare, but that doesn't stop us from making the most of what we have.

Emeco 111 Navy chair

Recycling a single bottle is a great thing, but if you recycle 111 of them you get something even greater. Coca-cola approached Emeco with an idea to show the value of recycled bottles by producing a fully recycled chair.

Oldie but a Goodie

America Is F*cked.......(Graphically at least) from Jess Gibson on Vimeo.


This is from quite a while back but I was reminded of it recently... This extends to industrial design. Its not necessarily what the client wants, but what the world needs.

 I love Bowich! :D Great people, great food, great location.

Who went to the F-Minus event last night? Thanks to everyone that showed up, thanks to the bands and thanks to Bowich.

Where Children Sleep

Has anybody come across this book?  The New York Times covered this book a few weeks back. You get to stare at the bedrooms of children which becomes a social commentary on their lives and the places they live. Kind of like Selby except for kids and not just for the rich and famous. Read about it and look at the inside here. NYT
