A.M.O Vase by Jean Marc Gady
A.M.O. is a large vase by Jean Marc Gady that "plays with imbalance and illusion", with a touch of political undertone. Two large glass containers are balanced on a pedestal like cannons but with flowers for ammo. "The scene appears frozen in time, defying the laws of gravity". After the jump, The French CanCan is for an installation at Gallery R' Pure in New York and is an interpretation of the traditional cabaret dance. Gady has created a wheel of [...]

Originally a post sent around by Sam Cannon, praise for this fantastic campaign reentered my inbox this week from Adam Turinas as something his "70 something aunt in Canada emailed it to me. Hhhmh!

Inspired by House Beautiful

Is it okay with you that, aside from today’s upcoming creativity post, we escape a little and simply look at beautiful rooms together? I really need to tap into some beautiful interiors today for inspiration. Let’s first look at some rooms as featured in House Beautiful, a magazine I’ve decided to subscribe to in an attempt to replace Domino. I’m going to play a little game. With each photo below I’m going to call out what I personally like the most [...]
DC x Spring 2009
DC, everyone’s favorite urban skate brand, is really stepping up their game lately. We’ve given all sorts of attention to their collaboration efforts with the likes of agnes B and Lemar & Dauley. For Spring 2009 they kept things both in-house, as well as continuing the partnership spirit. The DC LIFE collection includes a low “dress sneaker” model as well as hi-tops, a design that is clearly making a return (Terminators, Kanye’s kicks, etc) The colorways are very simple and [...]
Forever's Not So Long Technical Information

After months of pretending my painting studio was in my living room "temporarily", I decided to just go for it. Tarps on the floor and milk-crate skyscrapers. Better natural light too. Why? Because the biggest room in my house should be more than a hallway. Click-Zoom.

Steffan Postaer, chairman and chief creative officer of Euro RSCG Chicago, is sending us daily updates as he judges the Dubai Lynx awards this week.Day Two: Thursday, March 12 The judging for Dubai Lynx began with Television. I assume they chose TV as the opening category because it is usually a crowd pleaser at advertising award shows. Unfortunately, this was not the case in this contest.

Adidas's NBA stars finally make it to college
adfreak |
Mar 12, 2009 11:34AM
Here's a fun idea from Adidas. To celebrate March Madness, it's taking four of its endorsers who jumped straight from high-school basketball to the NBA and imagining them on the college teams of today: Kevin Garnett at UCLA, Dwight Howard at Kansas, Tracy McGrady at Louisville and Josh Smith at Pitt. See all four ads here. It would have been fun to see Kobe Bryant, another college dodger, in this kind of situation, though of course he's ex-Adidas and [...]

Apple to Preview iPhone OS 3.0 Next Tuesday, March 17

My Guesses Regarding iPhone OS 3.0
From my Macworld Expo announcement predictions back in January: As for what might appear in iPhone OS 3.0, here’s my wish list. First, a new home screen app (a.k.a. SpringBoard), designed from the ground up for a system where users have a few dozen or more extra apps installed. Managing dozens of apps on the iPhone today is simply a pain in the ass. Second, maybe an answer to the question of where the background notification API is — you know, [...]

Lilly Lab
It’s not that us females aren’t attracted to some of the skateboard and snowboard designs out there, it’s just that some of them are a bit much. We’re not asking for our decks to be splashed with images of male models or anything — though we probably wouldn’t complain — but we’d appreciate some designs that appeal directly to our particular sensibilities. In the meantime, we have Lilly Lab to thank for creating a women’s line of apparel that makes [...]
Røys by Permafrost and Katharina Styren
Produced by Norway's HOV Møbelindustri and designed by Permafrost and Katharina Styren, Røys is a collection that features a modular bookshelf and room divider that is also sound absorbing. Set on a slight angle, the shelving provides much visual interest by displaying books on the diagonal. Not bad work for the humble cube. stockholmfurniturefair.com permafrost.no beyondrisor.no
