Says Aaron: "So I found this store in Portland - and really love there stuff - they just did a cool art show based on Pattern - and produced some great & affordable pieces. They are limited edition run of dope design stuff...They are green/eco-friendly/ethical/fair-trade - but all their stuff is great."

Great little finds. Gotta support the eco-efforts.

Thinking for a Living™

Discovered TFAL in my referrer logs when browsing after launching the new Polychrome site, and I gotta say, it's very cool. Self-described as, "an ever-growing platform dedicated to the concept of open source design education," it's definitely worthy of investigation. BTW, pink rules.

Sexy Ceramic Toaster Scoops Design Award

post_1297-448x500.jpg

"There has been little development of the toaster since the start of the century, whilst other appliances have developed and improved incorporating new technologies and thinking, toaster have remained relatively untouched. When the toaster was first invented eating toast was a social activity that took place on the breakfast table, these days toasters have been relegated to cheap plastic objects hidden away in the kitchen landscape. This toaster is designed to engage the user, re-invigorating the social context of toasting by questioning everything about what we toast with today. I was also keen to make playful object to be proud of having on your breakfast table. Slip moulded bone china allowed me create this intricate and sculptural form, but also provided the material longevity that I required. This is a toaster that brings life and joy to a stagnant domestic appliance, and iconic object for the home."

This is so awesome! Want one right now for my breakfast.

APAK, Aya Kakeda, Betsy Walton at Junc

post_1291-450x440.jpg

In the tradition of the best folktales Apak, Betsy Walton and Aya Kakeda have ability to manifest familiar experiences and truths in an updated adaptation that include elements of pop culture, illustration, Asian and European folktales combined with personal and presented with well developed personal vocabularies. The results vary based on each artists own agenda but the commonality is contemporary illustration that is well conceived and visually arresting.
