New Design / Coffee tables and coffins made from crushed Ferraris
February 2, 2012 | New Design | by Camilla Pistilli |
Ferrari cars represent a social status and decadent life style most of us will only dream of. The fascination with this symbol of wealth and success must have hit designer Charly Molinelli pretty hard as he turns the carcasses of crushed Ferraris into coffee tables and coffins. Could this be our chance to finally own one?

February 1, 2012 | New Design | by Mario Troise |

New Design / Ruby’s Tuesday Boutique Letterpress
January 21, 2012 | New Design | by Mitch Crowle |
After researching and planning for a couple of years, my partner Claire and I bought a 1960 Heidelberg Windmill, had it reconditioned and started to learn the trade from our home studio in Thirroul, learning from eccentric retired printers with each step. Our first project was a wedding invitation set: a very fun (and at times frustrating) combination of patience and payoff. Read more

New Design / Movies from an Alternate Universe
January 18, 2012 | New Design | by Tristan Rayner |
Would your favourite movie still be a classic if it was created in an alternate universe? Peter Stults has explored the possibilities in great detail, either timeshifting a movie to another decade or crossing to another genre. Timeshifting The Terminator II is among my favourite creations, with the steel-toothed Jaws (Richard Kiel) replacing Arnie. Muhammed Ali replacing Mike Tyson in The Hangover also creates all sorts of potential for hilarity. Read more

You could argue that Hickory Mertsching isn’t keeping up with modern trends, but since man scribbled bulls on the walls in Lascaux, we as a species appreciate good draughtsmanship. Read more
There was a time, many moons ago, when I would only listen to bands off New Zealand’s Flying Nun label. Yup, I would strap myself into a comfy chair, put my headphones on and, armed with a chunk of chocolate coated Peanut Slab and a can of L&P, soak up album after album of wonderfully self-indulgent low-fi melancholy.

This café, cookie shop, ice cream place in Cobble Hill Brooklyn is all about flavor, aroma and family. Their cookies and ice cream are absolutely to-die-for, and the place is so well-designed, painted in vintage colors with old family pictures printed on the walls, that you’ll want to indulge yourself for more than just a few minutes. Try their Whoopies and Lucia cookies. They’re my favourite.
There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ’7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
Bay Area duo The Human Quena Orchestra sounds like a skyscraper falling in slow motion with their scraping, crashing, screeching drone pounded out of guitars, samplers, and circuit-bent electronics. Listen to their track Progress below.
