Lee spotted this place in a realtor’s window. It’s a very impressive and pretty Georgian house from the front, and then so surprising and unique in the back. It’s like a mullet in house form: business in the front, party in the back. Via Chesterton Humberts.

Finnish illustrator Klaus Haapaniemi has designed covers for the re-issue of Patrick Süskind‘s classic novels, Perfume and The Pigeon. If any of you haven’t read Perfume, you should – you won’t regret it. I haven’t read The Pigeon – and now I have every reason to. Via Creative Review.

The Shona Heath-designed rabbit ears (that I posted about here) are available for purchase at SHOWstudio if you’ve got a spare £1,000. I’d imagine they’d be useful for a lifetime – so money well spent. Portrait by Tim Walker.

Why are ships so satisfying to look at? It’s helps when they’re 1930′s German ones. Basically an expensive toy for adults. Available at Factory 20.
