Yes, it’s Mother’s Day in the UK this Sunday (as well as in Nigeria randomly) – so you better get your cards in order. Check out these lovely letterpress cards from Justin Knopp at Typoretum. Each one is individually pressed and therefore unique – a nice touch a mother would love, no?

Lizzy Stewart’s ‘Flood’

Sorry for the late post – this week is a bit mental. Posts will be sporadic and brief – apologies! In the meantime, check out this gorgeous new print at Tiny Showcase from the one and only Lizzy Stewart called ‘Flood’. The second image gives you a better impression of the detail here – it’s [...]
Ikea Svarva Lamps from Front
Posted in Inspirational, Lighting, Shop, Uncategorized, tagged Bless, Front, Ikea, Viable London on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Lee tipped me off to these new lamps for the Ikea PS range from Swedish design team Front. It’s great that Ikea encourages young designers like this – I can see these selling really well. These lamps remind me of two things. First is Viable London’s ‘Titanic Lamp’. Second is the playful ‘Cable Jewellery‘ at [...]
Mast Brothers Chocolate
Posted in Food, Gifts, Packaging, tagged Mast Brothers on March 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’m loving this packaging from bean to bar ‘artisan chocolate makers’ Mast Brothers Chocolate. Each bar is handmade using cocoa sourced from small farms and coops worldwide. Through this highly crafted and considered process they hope to start a chocolate revolution (their words!) Attention friends in NYC – buy me a bar (or two)! – [...]

I’m feeling these illustrated furniture spreads by the great Klas Ernflo for Apartamento Magazine. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it before, have you?
The Genius of Jon Klassen
Posted in Illustration, Inspirational, tagged Coraline, Jon Klassen on March 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve meaning to post about Jon Klassen for ages. He is beyond an illustrator – just a true creative genius! Here’s a mix of new and older work. In general I love the other-worldly and haunting atmosphere of his work. He also contributed to the new animated film, Coraline – which is all the more [...]
Imaginary Office Furniture
Posted in Furniture, Inspirational, Lighting, tagged Imaginary Office on March 9, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I really like how Sweden’s Imaginary Office play with scale. Out of context, their ‘mini lamp’ appears to be a normal table size. (In reality it’s over 6 feet high.) I also love the extra large knit of their ‘pleats pleats’ sofa – it’s like you’ve shrunk to a microscopic size and are lying on [...]

Anyone want to buy a house in a cave? ‘Caveland‘ in Festus, Missouri is up for sale on ebay. The owners need to sell fast!
‘In Like a Lion’ – March Calendar
Posted in Illustration, tagged Fay Andrada on March 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Thought I’d share this March calendar from my friend, illustrator Fay Andrada – commissioned for Portland’s independent paper, The Bollard. I agree, bring on the popsicles! My sincerest apologies for putting this up 9 days in March. Lame, I know.
British Interiors on Design*Sponge
Posted in Architecture, Inspirational, Interiors, tagged Ab Rogers, Design*Sponge on March 6, 2009 | 4 Comments »
My last post on d*s just went up – focusing on British interiors. It includes this crazy house from Ab Rogers – designed for a hip family with four children under 10. (This is how I always thought the future should look – nice to see it’s happening somewhere.) Big thanks to Grace at d*s [...]
