Mike Mills Prints

Fireworks
Mike Mills (Los Angeles, USA)

"Some things that may or may not relate to these drawings: A professional suggested I take anti-depressants. I declined. About the same time I started drawing fireworks. I didn’t know what they meant or why I was drawing them. I was confused and embarrassed by this lack of meaning, but they kept coming..." (via all of the mountains)

Nooka watch

"In a bid to ensure their packaging is not thrown away, watch manufacturer Nooka has partnered with design brand SiliconeZone to produce a rather unusual product: Packaging that you save and use to eat out of. Nooka's new gem box is microwave-safe and harkening back to the days when the impoverished would save jam jars to use as drinking glasses, though the cooking-grade silicone used here is decidedly more hi-tech."

Enviromentally Friendly Cleaning Product

"Billed as a "disruptive new household cleaning product," Replenish is a durable bottle made from PET-1 (the most-recyclable type of plastic) that essentially comes to the consumer empty, with a "twist-on concentrate pod" containing concentrated cleaning solution. Fill the thing up with water, mix, and you're good to go. Once it's drained, you can buy more pods with different types of cleaning solution in them, and again, you refill it with water you've already got on tap. This means there's a lot less to truck around, as only 5% of the weight of your typical spray bottle is the actual active ingredient; the rest is plastic and water, needlessly adding to the carbon footprint.

Replenish was developed in conjunction with William McDonough's MBDC consultancy. Learn more about it here." (via core77)

United Nude Hat

"The United Nude Stealth Hat, like the wedge shoe in the same family is inspired by the straight lines of the Stealth F-117 fighter plane. Unlike the aircraft, the United Nude Stealth does not fly under the radar; it is very sexy and gets noticed immediately for its remarkable and unique design." (via united nude)

Clever Drying Rack

"Boon's Grass Countertop Drying Rack is a sleek and stylish drying rack that can be used with a wide variety of baby accessories. The two-piece design makes it easy to clean. Water drains into the lower tray while baby accessories rest on flexible grass blades to air dry. Great for everything from bottles to pacifiers. Grass and tray are both dishwasher-safe."

Club Monoco

I would love to have this shirt, but I have no money to purchase it. Instead, I am blogging about it, which makes it feel like it could be mine. This Lexi shirt , by Club Monoco, has a very sweet and charming pattern. I appreciate clothing that has a trompe l'oeil effect like Rosalind Keep does in her clothing.

Farm Animals

"They are very stable and strong yet lightweight - it's a mystery. Shown here in primary colors, they also come in chic cowhide and faux fur in neutral colors. Farm Animals are a product of the Netherlands and the company is looking for a U.S. distributor." (via apartment therapy)

Wacky Shoes

"Kobe Levi's wearable sculpture (er, shoes) show that design most definitely trumps function. Seriously, slingshot slingbacks are not for the faint of heart. And the hoofed boots will most definitely be worn by Bjork before the year is out, I'm sure of it. [Via Melissa Dixson Taxidermist]" (via the storque)

Cement Earings

"These cement earrings are modeled on classic pearl studs. Each concrete sphere is cast by hand and set onto a sterling silver post. With wear, the colour of the earrings will deepen as the concrete is exposed to the air and the oils from your skin." (via notcouture)

Rice Baby!

AHAHAHA!! This is hilarious. My sister just had a baby several days ago so I have had babies on my mind lately. I could have one with my sisters baby's picture on it and carry it around as if she were in Chicago! That is ridiculous!

Papabubble

I am a big fan of Papabubble. I brought home some hard candies from Amsterdam when I was there last summer as gifts. Everyone loved them. And it is hard not to love them when they come is such attractive packaging. I recently visited their website and I had to share their whimsical photos of each of the Papabubble store owners.

Danish Packaging Design

"Skærtoft Mølle is a small organic mill located in the south of Denmark.They mill their flour slowly on a stone grinder – not because they’re especially romantic or old-fashioned; but to retain all the nutrients in each grain. Beautiful design by Mega." (via notcot.org)

"If you’ve ever had fantasies of tagging your neighborhood or local subway but haven’t had the nerve, then Esslack Food Spray may be just your thing. Thanks to the very clever German team, The Deli Garage, you can now stain your tomato, pretzels, and whatever other food screams out to be covered in gold (and isn’t the list endless?) Using these fresh spray cans full of edible silver and gold paint, food goes from ordinary to bling in seconds." (via tasteologie)

Pinwheels

Instead of a bouquet of flowers what if there were just pinwheels? How sweet! (via once wed)
