Spine armour jewelry by Eero Hintsanen
Finnish jewelry designer Eero Hintsanen is probably more known for his eco-inspired Chao and Eero Jewel creations. I prefer his personal works, which tend to be darker. His Armour collection really runs with the theme of materialising your inner strength for protection. A standout piece is the spine, which makes a statement in an elegantly understated way.

Slings made from upcycled inner tubes of truck and bike tires
There’s a lot of green gear out there waiting for eco warriors to take them in, but a lot of it can get pretty apeish. Besides my trusty Freitag and a tarpaulin tote I carry for a laugh, I have one of these badass English Retreads shoulder slings. These are made from upcycled inner tubes of truck and bike tires, come with gorgeous metal rivets, and are tough as hell. Rather than kill an ungulate to make a bag, it’s like they’ve killed (okay, scavenged) a monster truck instead. Which feels great. Read more
What the world would be like without …
What would the world be like without Mark Zuckerberg? Ogilvy Brazil’s campaign for Forbes includes a series of invisible-man infographics that, erm, figure out the figures on what we all would be missing if people like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Tiger Woods didn’t exist. Funny how the one of Donald Trump goes ‘Less 20 Skyscrapers’ and ‘Less 185 people Fired in Reality Shows,’ but unforgivably leaves out something quite important like ‘Less 1 Comb-over’. Read more
Reminders photo series by Austin’s Erin Hanson
Austin-based Erin Hanson believes everyone is prey to bouts of laziness. Presumably this is why he has set up so many magical photography and graphic design projects on his site, Recovering Lazyholic. I love the deliberate flippancy he brings to his Reminders series (self-described as ‘childish treatment for childish behaviour’), where he sticks colourful reminders around the house to alter his lazy tendencies.
