Italian art director Daniele Lago is responsible for designing all of the innovative and exceptionally styled products in the current Lago collection. Before his arrival, the company had a long history of traditional wooden workmanship and under Daniele’s guidance Lago began moving to a more contemporary aesthetic. ‘An innate predisposition for research, innovation, change, a formal rigour leaving no space for decoration as an end in itself, an intellectual honesty in studying new products created to resolve the everyday needs of home living in an essential manner, these are the talents that distinguish the work of Daniele Lago’.

Are Mokkelbost aka ION makes the most intense collages you will ever see. The source images are almost completely unrecognizable as the Norwegian artist creates new forms, fields of depth, and color gradients. Check out the album art Mokkelbost did for Norwegian electro-prog-metal band Next Life’s latest album, Lost Age. Read more
Casio Keyboard Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone are about to release a collection of remixes and covers their musical friends have recorded of songs found on their second album, The Bird Of Music. Titled Reverse Migration, the record features re-workings by Best Fwends, Teenagers, Darkel, and more. We caught up with them recently. Why and when did you decide to release a remix album? Annie: ‘Our friends were making so many wonderful versions of our songs we wanted to share them with the world’. How did you select the artists? Annie: ‘Mostly they were friends who told us they wanted to do remixes! Very fun and easy’. Reverse Migration is out November 11 through the band’s own label, Our Secret Record Company. Listen to Ruff & Jam by Au Revoir Simone.
I awoke the other morning from the sleep of the damned, a fitful spell of tossing and turning courtesy of a mild dose of the flu and the constant rattle of the JMZ trains as they hurtle across the tracks outside my window. Read more
As a non-coffee drinker, I’m not going to rant about the coffee. I’ve heard, though, that the coffee is damn good. But I am going to talk about something else: food. Oh. My. God. Sydney’s Single Origin cafe have this awesome meatloaf sandwich and a raft of sourdoughs and prosciutto and roast lamb and chevre and chunky steak pies and yogurt with compote and four-cheese toasties and baked beans and … oh! Don’t forget Karlie’s special homemade lemonade! Karlie is always in the house so you know that it doesn’t come from a can and arrives at your table with that sour tang that reminds you of the annual Royal Easter Show. Everything they serve is created ethically and organically. Add the constant grinding aroma of coffee beans wafting through the air and, well, is there any other place to be? [photo by Daniel Boud]
