My Reading Chair, by Arunas Sukarevicius of Etc. Etc., is a beautiful chair designed with readers in mind. The two part chair, frame & slipcover, is hand crafted out of solid wood. The slipcover has pockets on the side that are perfect for holding a great book, magazine or even the remote.
This stop motion music video, created by Dropbear, aka Jonanthan Chong, for the Melbourne indie-folk band Hudson, is made almost entirely from colored pencils! Not only is the song, ‘Against The Grain’, great but the video is really amazing.
I can still appreciate this brilliant little tea infuser even though I’m an avid coffee drinker. The Tea Diver, produced by Korean design studio Ablepartners, is the perfect friend for your cup of tea. The platinum silicon and stainless steel infuser looks like a squat little diver complete with an air tank handle! The Tea Diver is currently on sale at the DesignBoom Shop for $20.
The diver would go perfectly with the Tea Sub infuser by Ototo!
“Light,” a short film directed by David Parker of Sunday/Paper, is a beautiful short film that intends to bring awareness to the ridiculous amount of electricity we waste through lighting unused spaces.
David Parker, “Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources without much thought. While the original sentiment remains, the film also grew into a poetic statement about a world run amok and the human tendency to exploit that which we hold dear.”
I’m really loving this clean, simple and utterly beautiful identity and website, designed by Budapest based Zoltan Balogh, for the Hungary based agricultural company Nadex.
A short week of posts last week before I took off for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Hope everyone had an amazing holiday.
Brooklyn based artists Scott Redden’s paintings evoke a feeling of looking at a bygone era. The warm, soft colors mixed with the simplified shapes of the barns, trees, and clouds leads me to believe that these are painted from a world that only exists in Scott’s mind.
I really love these simple laminated polyester bags by Varpunen. I can’t find much information on them but the geometric patterns and warm muted colors are beautiful. The bags are 8″x8″ square and about 10.5″ high and retail for €22 (about $30.00) a piece.
Dimitris Ladopoulos is a talented film maker, illustrator and designer working in Athens, Greece creating beautiful things. His latest project, a short film called The Carpenter, is the first of a series of shorts Dimitris plans on doing in which he looks at the art & science of professionals working with their hands.

His talent behind the camera is matched equally by his ability to add elegant motion graphics over the footage to explain the details within each shot.

Whether or not that is true is unimportant to me, but the paintings are inviting me to visit their serene world.
I love this series of illustrations by Simone Capano. Collections is a series of 4 beautifully drawn collections including Amplifiers Old School, Country Life, Frames, and Teaspoons.
The Twisted Tables by Dutch designer Erwin Zwiers are created by wrapping layers of wood veneer around a central shape, creating the look of tree slice & allowing the table to grow “organically.”
