Imagine seeing one of these in the place of a normal tap and basin. You’d question how on earth it worked, right? Well, it’s quite simple really: you take the small river stone off and the light pressure of the water is left to flow. A brilliant and remarkably aesthetically pleasing design that gets rid of the mechanical components of a tap. Just hope you don’t lose that stone. Read more
The Good Afternoon clock by Mile Project just shouts design. It’s simple, creative and makes great use of modern technology. The look speaks for itself, a white circular frame with tiny holes that lets a bright and powerful focused LED light beam stream out, creating the second, minute and hour hands of a clock.
Some cool designer cityscape blinds by Elina Aalto, with options including Paris, Tokyo, Stockholm and Helsinki. I’m not sure as how practical they are, as when you close your blinds, you don’t want to let any light. But maybe someone has a place for them somewhere.

The urban planning for Dubai increasingly has the city looking more and more like a still out of a Jetsens episode. The futuristic architecture that charcterises its evolution is pushing the boundaries of design, the buildings climbing ever upwards with their blindingly original facades.

This image above is a sneak preview of how the famed Dubai waterfront will look in a few years time.

Ok, so maybe it’s the extra-strong Brooklyn coffee I’m drinking or perhaps its that the pine coated goodness of Christmas is well and truly in the air, but I’m kinda excited this morning as my wife has just launched her website, Feature Shoot, which is a resource for photo editors, art directors, industry professionals, and pretty much anyone who appreciates good photography. It’s a great way to discover new photographic talent and the website is already bursting with interviews with up-and-coming American photographers alongside that of established photographers who have completed a project or whose work has taken on a new direction.
This is really amazing, a poignant and richly textured video and sound piece from Brooklyn-based artist, Alex Itin. Read more
