Gauzak

2012-01-30T12:30:00.001-06:00

I don't own a coffee table because I don't like the permanence of it.

I prefer moveable end tables or containers with handles so that the space can change based upon what I am doing. These pieces by spanish design firm Gauzak (Barcelona) fulfill that requirement and also satisfy my overwhelming need for magazine storage.

Gauzak is an industrial and product design firm in Barcelona. Founded by Leire Pérez, Juan Tomás Carboneras and Arkaitz Arco. The meaning of GAUZAK translates to "STUFF". Per Gauzak, "Anything having an entity, whether it is physical or spiritual, natural or artificial, real or abstract".

What's Your Shape

2012-01-29T11:00:00.000-06:00

Geometry - Form - Symbols and Meaning. I often wonder if shapes simply have meaning based upon how we have assigned their use or if their is something deeper...some intrinsic quality that governs them. I am leaning towards the latter.

What's Your Shape 5 piece card set from RK Shop/Finland.

RK is run by Riikka Kantinkoski who also has a lovely blog called Week Day Carnival.

Mysterious Letters

2012-01-24T07:00:00.004-06:00

Mysterious Letters was formed by Lenka Clayton and Michael Crowe. Here is what they are about: "We are sending letters to everyone in the world, one town at a time. The letters all arrive on the same day, causing community curiosity, comparison and confusion." So far, 2,000 letters and counting have been sent....and coming to a town near you.

If you can't wait for your town to receive your lot, you still have a few choices. Lenka and Michael have their own Mysterious Letters shop where you can purchase: 1. Mystery letter about the topic of your choosing 2. A replica of 10 letters that were already sent (exhibition catalogue for Mysterious Letters Cologne) 3. Hard copy book of the 100 best letters ever sent.

Tourisms/My Place - Photo Guide of Wroclaw, Poland. Photographer Lukasz Wierzbowski.

Tourisms is a photographic travel guide with photos submitted by photographers across the globe. The site is easy to navigate and is searchable 2 ways: My Place and Your Place.

Simple. If the photographer lives there, you will find the guide under My Place. If they are just visiting, Your Place.

I can't begin to tell you how surprised at what a great time we had when we were in Poland. Definitely, it is the people that make you want to go back (not the driving!) The cobblestone street above looks quite familiar and may even be the street we stayed on? Who knows....
Tourisms was founded by The Hard Workers Club.

The Black Pearl

2012-01-20T10:00:00.000-06:00

A street in Rotterdam. A house named the Black Pearl.

Owner and architect Rolf Bruggnik.

The only thing I know about Rotterdam is that my great-grandparents were born there. It is a place I have always wanted to visit just to see if I could still find relatives there. Looks like I might have to plan that trip sooner rather than later.

Owner Rolf Bruggnik renovated (saved) this early 1900s home in a less-than-desirable neighborhood in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Liking the inky exterior and that old school toilet.

Mike Joyce of Stereotype Design has an ongoing project called Swissted. The objective was to take Swiss-style graphics/typography and re-make famous punk flyers. The people I have shown this to so far have lost their minds at what an awesome idea this is.

Unfortunately, I was a few years too young to actually go to many of these shows. The entire site is a playlist of my life. Here is a sampling of the music that filtered through my life and many of those around me. Oh, and the graphics are great too!

Photo of Jean-Luc Godard by Jeffrey Blankfort.

"I'd like to continue speaking about Art. But maybe we shouldn't, because now it's reactionaries who only talk about Art. Art is a normal everyday activity. It's not an extraordinary one. What must be done is to show art as an everyday activity, like sports. It's precisely the reactionaries who try to say that art is something out of the ordinary, something special. So they pay well and try to give artists a luxurious life." - Godard

Excited to share this image that I found via o-lupi (via pink flag). Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!

Fensterfabrik Zurich

2012-01-05T07:00:00.000-06:00

This non-descript building, which used to be a window factory, now houses Swiss design collective Fensterfabrik. Turns out Fensterfabrik was founded by Christian Etter (Etter Studio, Unit9, Design 21).......his blog Science of Creativity is on my habitual reading list.

I spent quite a bit of time perusing all of the artists' portfolios, but I am always intrigued to see the spaces in which people congregate to create - it really makes all of the difference.

Simple and useful.

I love the little side garden - good for taking breaks and breathing that (I assume) clean Zurich air.

Natural World

2012-01-01T09:44:00.001-06:00

As scientific understanding has grown, so our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in Nature and has lost his emotional “unconscious identity” with natural phenomena….No voices now speak to man from stones, plants, and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with Nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied. -C. J. Jung

PDU Stencil

2011-12-28T21:00:00.000-06:00

Stencils certainly have a huge place in my heart. To my delight, this stencil, or rather font, is called PDU and allows you to create all letters, numbers and symbols from one universal grid. Designed by Dries Wiewauters of Colophon Type Studio..... it certainly could create endless hours of playing.

Above: Newspaper from Colophon explaining the history and rational behind the PDU font. Based on the original idea (Joseph A David in 1876) of a stencil system that could be used universally by sign makers - .

Countdown to Calendars

2011-09-27T09:39:00.007-05:00

Make it yourself..........My love for actual, usable calendars has not diverged. This one found on Skona Hem is fabulous. Make it yourself!

KEEP IT.......

Ok, so this last calendar is not available anymore. If you live in Milwaukee, you may recognize it as WMSE offered these in 2010. Photographs taken my favorite person, Stanley Ryan Jones, document the punk/new wave club scene in Milwaukee in late 70s and early 80s. This calendar still hangs on my wall in my office permanently displaying December 2010. I refuse to turn the page or take it down.

Road Trip in Finland - blog

2011-09-13T15:29:00.004-05:00

Introducing my new favorite read - Road Trip in Finland. RTIF is a Finnish blog by two ladies: Mirja and Rikka. Not only do we get great snapshots of fabulous finds, but once monthly they photograph a Finnish home/family for the blog. I think what is unique about RTIF is that it actually captures who Mirja and Rikka are, their point of view and their love of Finland.

Love!!!!
