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!

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.

So i’ve been scouring the internet a bit today in search of some really nice (& well designed) iPhone wallpapers, here is a selection of the best of them.

All of the lightboxed images are iPhone ready here (I havn’t edited any of them in any way). They came from a variety of fantastic sources… Veer, Poogla, I Love Typography, Death by Kerning & Air Bag Industries

I just found the Superstitious Series in the (lovely) portfolio of Jane & Jeremy.

If you haven’t heard of them before, or seen their portfolio, I highly recommend you take a look. They are the kings of kitsch, their portfolio is full of bespoke, one-off, books, photographs – including lots of amazing Polaroid shots and a book of kisses. Brilliant!

The superstitious badges are also available to buy for £4 via paypal
