Alain Berteau Designworks is a Brussels-based architecture practice that has evolved into an award-winning product and interior design agency. One of her designs, called Pick Up Wood, is for clothing hangers… well, sorta.
Sold by sets of 8, these “hangers” are literally just hooks… requiring buyers to then go outdoors and find branches into which [...]
Johnnie Walker launched a new $3,000 blend available only in the Singapore airport… random, right?!? It’s a blend from casks from nine distilleries, including some from the company’s hoarded stocks from long-closed distilleries including malt whiskey from Glen Albyn and grain whiskey from Cambus (both closed in 1983). The whiskeys have been blended and given [...]

I’m really digging this deviant art trend – urban landscape as inspiration and canvas.
Street artist, Morfai, is responsible for bad-assifying transforming this statue called Seeder in Kaunas, Lithuania.
In addition to the actual piece there is an interesting short video brainstorm of the ideas that Morfai threw around before deciding on the handful of star dust.
It’s all about perspective… here is a sampling from a Flickr album titled 3d retro by pilllpat (agence eureka) that is worth checking out. Ahh – life in blue in red! You know what to do…
For my tenth installment of All Things English…
English supermodel Kate Moss has officially earned her weight in gold thanks to English artist Marc Quinn’s latest sculpture called Siren. His sculpture of Moss is said to be the largest solid-gold statue to be made in the world since the time of Ancient Egypt. Quinn estimated the value of [...]
JR’s latest project, titled Women Are Heros, in the favelas of Rio is just breathtaking.
Right now JR is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where the context of favelas has encouraged him to meet women for whom crime, violent loss of loves ones and arbitrary repression are part of everyday life. Favela da Providencia was chosen to [...]
