Wine Carafe

11/16/2008

The coolest wine carafe I've seen. Maybe a tad bit difficult to clean... The MOMA store has lots of desirable designy things.

NYC Landscapes by Lisa Breslow

11/16/2008

I really like these soft atmospheric landscapes of New York City. A beautiful perspective of a city often viewed as harsh. They're all oil and pencil on panel.

Breakthrough II. 1965.

Robert Rauschenberg

10/29/2008

Robert Rauschenberg is one of my favorite modern artists, and I loved seeing his work while roaming the incredible New York MOMA. Breakthrough II, a lithograph printed in 1965, was one of the pieces I enjoyed seeing most.

Vincent van Gogh

10/29/2008

This was another favorite of mine at the NY MOMA. There's a van Gogh exhibit there right now, van Gogh and the Colors of the Night, which must be amazing.

Universe - a result for "Design" in the past week

Universe by Jonathan Harris

10/23/2008

Another beautiful and totally inspiring representation of information pulled from the Internet, woven together to display stories and how they're connected. This applet allows for endless discovery, all lead by the user. I could sink into Universe and spend hours, if not days exploring.

We Feel Fine

We Feel Fine by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar

10/23/2008

The We Feel Fine applet is a beautiful representation of human feelings expressed through use of the Internet. The design and usablity of the applet and site are admirable, and I think the concept is exceptional. I would love to see more projects like this, utilizing the Internet to understand eachother and ourselves better.

The Book of Vice by Peter Sagal

Book Design Review

10/23/2008

A great collection of book cover designs. I love printed books, artist books, book stores, libraries... but I can't say much of this would be true without the cover art. How can you not judge a book by its cover?

les ailes d'Hermes

Hermes.com

10/19/2008

This is probably my favorite consumer site. Whether browsing the on-line boutique for the illustrations and the merchandise (which I wish I could afford!), or playing in the whimsical and inspiring "les ailes d'Hermes," this site always brings a smile to my face. A new form of retail therapy that doesn't require spending money or getting off the couch! I even heard they're coming out with scarfs inspired by Joseph Alber's Homage to the Square series. Ahhhh.....

Trollbäck + Company’s Things I Think About Before I Sleep

I loved this design excerise. The kind of thing idea that always sounds like a great project, but so rarely comes to fruition.

Midwest apartment I could consider moving for...

9/27/2008

...well not likely. I’ve never actually been to the midwest aside from a couple airports. But this Minneapolis space is pretty darn cool.

A million dollars and a couple professors later, this NYC apartment is sleek, green, and gorgeous.
