  1. The Bike Shelf
    Posted by Synth Eastwood
    Aug 2012
    This lovely product has presented itself at a time when the bicycles in my home and my office have taken over. Anyone with a limited size of house or workplace know the importance of floorspace. This elegant Bike Shelf lifts your two wheeler to the heavens whilst integrating into the room providing alternative shelving. The simple item was conceived and hand-crafted by San Francisco's Knife & Saw and is available in Walnut and Hickory. The owner Chris Brigham has been a graphic designer for decades but only set up his K&S company in... [Read more]

    Aug 2012
    A short animated film by the hands of Friends With You LA based artists who deal in the realm of friendly sharp graphics and more recently inflatable creatures. They're a hard group to pigeon-hole so we wont but we thank them for attempting to explain why Ireland has so much clouds. Take it away 'Cloudy'... [Read more]

    Aug 2012
    Behold the world's newest and best treehouse, the unfortunatley entitled <a href="http://www.fablabhouse.com/" title="Fab Lab House Website" target="_blank">Fablab House</a>. This award winning plywood structure was designed by an international team of <a href="http://www.fablabhouse.com/en/una-estructura-climatica-pasiva/" title="Fab Lab Team" target="_blank">Architects</a> in the image of a tree. The roof of the building is covered in solar paneling which collects the suns energy and stores in large battery units forming the foundations in the root of the dwelling. The belly of the structure like a great oak is where living creatures seek refuge from the elements, but here instead of branch work there is a modern... [Read more]
  6. Talk to Joe!

    Aug 2012
    Lovely project to start the week from Irish illustrator living in London, Fuchsia Macaree. Taking Joe Duffy's Liveline as a starting point, Fuchsia has created hilarious grumbles and worries (not too far from the real thing) and illustrated them beautifully into a zine. Each page in itself would make a super print. We've ordered our copy and suggest you do too right this way. There's some great posters on sale there too. Brilliant work Fuchsia!... [Read more]
