A really inspiring interview with Industrial designer Dieter Rams (Jonathan Ive’s says he is one of his major inspriations) for the Cold War Modern exhibition. (via Michael C. Place)

On a side note this video is making me look forward to Objectified in a big way!

This is a brilliant concept for a Pantone themed rubix cube by Ignacio Pilotto. I know the original Rubix cube is a classic but the colour choice here is so much nicer - this would be a really nice coffee table piece!

I just finished watching the Hillman Curtis short about Stefan Sagmeister, it’s brilliant if your a fan of his work, or his methods its a must see!

The short is from the launch of his book ‘Things I have learnt in my life so far’ and an insight into what other designers think about it, they share a few of their moments and discuss Sagmeister himself. It’s a good watch and their are some big names sharing their thoughts.

The book itself is a series of typographic aphorisms & a really inspiring read. You can buy it online from Amazon for only £10.00

This amazing birdhouse installation entitled Super Kingdom is on display in the UK and is based on a selection go dictator’s palaces.

Dark theme aside they are aesthetically amazing and best of all they are fully-functioning animal housing! The house above is probably my personal fave and is based around Benito Mussolini’s Palazzo della Civitala Italiana.

Just saw this great (concept?) from an underwear company for a Ketchup bottle promotion. Innovative use of media but i’m not convinced it would hit the right market for expensive lingerie buyers lol.
