If you are a guy you were most probably once a boy. And if you remember anything about being a boy you probably remember having to defend yourself from other boys (unless you were the one on the attack). On the playground your friends (and even those you did not consider friends) would try out […]

We are thrilled to be included in this month’s ‘Generation Green’ selection at Target’s Red Hot Shop online. Our new ‘WRD’ (Water Ready to Drink) Bottle was considered to have sufficient ‘Target-ness’ and at the same time ‘Green-ness’ to be picked for the April collection.

Gagosian Gallery just opened a large show of Pablo Picasso paintings and etchings at their 21st Street location in Chelsea. I had the oportunity to run through the opening reception last night and I must say that I was impressed with what I saw. Not specifically with the work itself. I would argue that the […]

Interior designer Michael Tavano contacted us recently because he wanted to incorporate our ‘New York’ Delft porcelain dinnerware and our ‘Street’ napkins into his table design for the DIFFA benefit dinner. Tavano’s table environment design has a […]

I recently got a moment to see the Martin Kippenberger show at MoMA. Titled ‘The Problem Perspective’, the exhibit is a great overview of Kippenberger’s prolific creative output and range of artistic disciplines he utilized. Prior to the show I was only familiar with his graphic design work. But here I discovered Kippenberger was adept […]

The James Beard Foundation Award nominees for 2009 were announced today and my old colleague from Chicago days, Thomas Schlesser, was nominated TWICE for his design of the Publican in Chicago and Bar Boulud here in New York. Great work although he is up against the star power of Philippe Starck for his design of Jose […]

Went to the Cut & Paste 2009 design competition at Webster Hall tonight. A lot of fun. It struck me that Cut & Paste is the cultural intersection of the hip hop street scene and the 2 & 3D design profession. One of the MC’s was even wearing a big gold chain around his neck with […]

Recently publishing it’s last issue, Domino magazine, fullfilling the vague prophecy hinted at in it’s name, has fallen. (or is that just a terrible reference? I apologize) Domino, we are sorry to see you go. We really enjoyed the magazine and it’s fresh point of view on design and lifestyle. The odd thing for us about the […]
